In a column for The Athletic, one of the best trio of goaltenders shared their thoughts on Vasilevsky, and it's clear that all three men have a great deal of respect for the Lightning goaltender.
«He makes the game look easy,» Brodeur said.
«He's imposing,» Dryden said.
«He never gives up,» Hasek said.
«They're starting to get the chisel and stuff, they're starting to make that mountain right now. He's a Mount Rushmore guy, and he's making it happen.»
«He's got Brodeur's calmness and big-game performance,» TNT broadcaster and former NHLer Tocchet on last night's broadcast. «Hasek's willingness to carry his teams on his back if his team isn't ready to play. His presence intimidates shooters.»
Vasilevsky brushed off his Game 7 shutout of the Presidents Trophy-winning Florida Panthers like it was nothing. When asked how he felt about his performance, he said:
«Same as probably the whole team. I thought I played all right. I just try to play my game. It's not only about one guy. The whole team has got to play well.»
