Varlamov...The Story of This Series for Capitals

Washington Capitals Hockey

Regardless of how this series turns out, one thing has become quite apparent. Simeon Varlamov is proving that he is ready for prime time, and even though Theodore has another year on his contract, this series has shown that if necessary, Varlamov is ready to take the lead role in the nets. For a 20 year old to step into the playoffs for the first time and not only do well, but to have two shutouts to his credit in four games is amazing. This young Russian netminder has gone toe to toe with one of the NHL's premier goaltenders in Lundqvist and seems to possess a coolness about him that belies his age. Perhaps he's too young that he should be nervous but whatever the case, I hope he keeps on doing what he's doing for at least two more games!
