Athletistic/Hockey. Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky made 49 saves in Game 4 of the playoff series between the Lightning and Florida. “Tampa” won with the score 2:0 and qualified for the conference final, not allowing the opponent to win a single game.

27-year-old Vasilevsky in a four-game confrontation with the “Panthers” took a total of 151 of 154 shots on goal (98.0%). Following the results of the fourth meeting, the goalkeeper set a new league record.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, Tampa will face the winner of the game, the Carolina Hurricanes – New York Rangers.

Here’s how American hockey fans enjoyed Vasilevsky’s brilliant play:

StutterHammer:
– My friends, you and I witnessed Vasya’s performance.

Zwui21:
– Vasya is just too good. He does everything. lol.

Our Lord And Savior Kuch:
– In this game, like a gladiator, he seemed to say to the audience: “Well, how do you like the show?!”

Stay salty:
– Vasya is just a beast!

Bozo Nicholas:
– It’s luxurious.

Our Lord And Savior Kuch:
The guy is just himself.

DaBolts:
– We rely on Vasya …

TheDaysOf04:
“He will stay in the minds of the Panthers for a long time.

Tesla Coil Fan:
– Only Vasya kept us in the game today.

Our Lord And Savior Kuch:
– We looked terrible overall … I don’t even know how everything would have turned out if Vasya hadn’t come out of his skin.

Stammering time91:
– At the same time, it must be admitted that Bobrovsky in “Florida” was also good in this series, but he is still not Vasilevsky.

the Winter Soldier:
– Starting in overtime in the sixth game of the first round, Vasya played at the level of the main contender for the Conn Smythe Trophy. Vasilevsky’s performances are the main key to Tampa Bay’s success. If he went through every fight like this, the Lightning would be impossible to beat at all.

LordZapp:
– His crackers in the deciding games of the series are already even comical.

to stay dirty:
– Vasya is fucking crazy. Remember how during the second half of the regular season everyone was scared to death at the thought of his playoff appearance? I remember.

Zwui21:
– Nothing unusual. Just Vasilevsky’s usual 49 saves.

@thegoldenmuzzy:

– Andrey Vasilevskiy deserves a spot on Mount Rushmore for the greatest goaltenders in NHL history.

@chrismaney:

– The guy right in front of our eyes becomes one of the best goalkeepers ever to play in this league.

@Real Quinton Mayo:

– What a performance by Andrey Vasilevsky! My God, it was an unprecedented performance.

@BizNasty2point0:

– Wow! Andrei Vasilevsky conceded only 3 goals in the whole series. He is not human.

@antwanstaley:

– The Florida Panthers had a two-man lead when they replaced the goaltender and still couldn’t score. Andrei Vasilevsky was simply amazing today.

@JesseGranger_:

– “Florida” became the most productive regular season team in the last 27 years, and Andrei Vasilevsky destroyed them, achieving his usual shutout with 49 saves. Freak!

@TheNasher61:

– You show your best game, take 49 shots on goal and cannot score once. Vasya is just on another level.

@Chris_Krenn:

– Since the start of the third period of the sixth game of the series against “Toronto”, Andrei Vasilevsky has returned 179 of 183 shots. 97.8% – amazing result!

@RStanleyNHL:

– The move marked “Tampa Bay Lightning” is just amazing. They’re going to win a third straight cup, which is absolutely unbelievable in the age of hockey. Andrei Vasilevsky is still the best goalkeeper in the world. I will maintain it until proven otherwise.

@Wolfdudeman:

– Vasilevsky secures the status of one of the best goalkeepers of all time. By defining games, he allows nothing to his opponents, but today he finally re-sheathed the best offense of this season in the NHL, scoring only 3 goals in 4 games. Yes, Tampa has great outfielders, but the guy defending his goal is just unreal.

@FloridaFlyer86:

– Respect to Vasilevsky, who is the best goalkeeper in the world today. This is the performance he gave throughout the series with the Panthers!

@GurkaranS7:

– Vasilevsky is simply impossible to break through! From the middle of the series against Toronto, he shows an exceptional level.

@nicksgoodtweets:

– I have been saying for several years that Vasya is the most valuable hockey player in the league.

@KirbyWTweets:

– I think it’s time to talk about the fact that Andrei Vasilevsky is perhaps the greatest athlete in the history of all professional clubs in Tampa.

@305miamisports1:

– I have enormous respect for Andrei Vasilevsky. He is one of the best goalkeepers our generation of fans has ever seen. Win a third Stanley Cup in a row.

@leholmes52:

– Just rename Stanley Cup to Vasilevsky Cup.

@FearTheMask99:

Vasya is a kind of mutant. This guy has the killer instincts you need in the playoffs.

@evanrender:

– Now Vasilevsky is playing at the level of the best times of Hasek, Rua and Price, if not better. Just a robot at the door!

@OpinionOfADummy:

– Panthers are officially considered an endangered species, so after this series, Vasilevsky must be stopped immediately!
