Andrei Vasilevsky – the most stable goalkeeper in the history of Russian hockey, says the goalkeeper coach of the Moscow Hockey Club “Dynamo — Konstantin Vlasov.
– Number one – Andrey Vasilevsky. In my opinion, he is the most stable goalkeeper in the history of Russian hockey. From the age of 13-14, Andrey played at a good level without a recession, which is rare at this age.
Look: there were no star players in Salavat Yulaev-1994, if I’m not mistaken, only two hockey players are currently playing in the VHL. But the team twice became champions of Russia at his age. All thanks to the confident game of Vasilevsky. Head coach Ruslan Suleymanov understood that the team did not have good players, but there was an excellent goalkeeper, so the game was based on defense and largely depended on Andrey. Hockey players were patient and waited for their moment, so games usually ended with a minimum score, and Andrey rarely conceded more than two goals in a game,” Vlasov told Metaratings.ru.
Vasilevsky is a graduate of Ufa Salavat Yulaev, where he played from 2012 to 2014. He was selected 19th overall in the NHL Draft by Tampa Bay. As part of the Lightning, Vasilevsky became a two-time Stanley Cup winner and also won the Vezina Trophy in 2019.
