Tampa head coach John Cooper commented on goaltender replacement Andrei Vasilyevsky during the NHL regular season game against Florida.
The Russian goaltender allowed six goals on 22 shots on goal and was replaced after the second period.
— Vasilevsky has sporting pride. He always wants to play until the end and never tries to get away easily, and I like that trait. He played the second period until the end, did not give up and neutralized several excellent scoring chances from the opponent. This is why he is the best goalkeeper in the world. “He loves to compete,” the coach said, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The meeting, which took place in Tampa, ended with a score of 9:2 (4:1, 2:0, 3:1) in favor of the guests.
