Wow, that’s a lot of love.
When your team is in first place overall and you’re the starting goalie, there’s really no place a rookie can be other than at the top of the Calder race. Varlamov, 21, supplanted Jose Theodore as the Capitals’ No. 1 netminder during the playoffs last year, but had to battle to keep the spot this season. He won. Varlamov has played seven of the past 10 Caps games and has bettered his numbers to 12-1-2 with a 2.21 GAA and .924 SP. Forget the Calder, this guy is in the running for the Vezina…as long as he can stay healthy.
Hockey players aren't like other people. Witt after being hit by a car:
I’m okay. No big deal...I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player.
The thing that really stands out is the ridiculous record. Guy can’t buy a loss.
