Check out this amazing save that former Caps goalie Semyon Varlamov made Thursday night against Chicago, absolutely robbing the Blackhawks of a sure goal and keeping his mates within striking distance.
The Avalanche lost the game regardless, but are still off to a great start and Varly has been a huge part of that with his sterling 2.17 GAA and .938 save percentage. Before you ask: yes, I would make the trade 100 times again. The Avalanche are a very young team with a lot of talent, but the West is extremely competitive and even with this hot start, I think it will be very hard for Colorado to maintain this high level of play. And then, of course, is the fact that Varlamov's lower body is, well, made of papier mache.
At the same time, I really hope that Varly can play well but the Avalance can keep losing. Nail, Ryan, and Mikhail are calling.
