My Take
Goaltending is the position I respect most, and Andrei Vasilevskiy is a near-perfect case for why. Born in Tyumen in 1994 and standing 193 cm, he has anchored the Tampa Bay Lightning crease through their best years. Standing in front of pucks flying close to 100 mph and beating them back on instinct alone strikes me as a kind of controlled madness. His clutch reliability, the way championships seem to flow through him, is what separates great goalies from merely good ones. Wearing number 88 and carrying a team on his shoulders, he embodies the lonely heroism of the last line of defense.
