[...] Holtby saved the Capitals with a brilliant arm save on Simon Gagne in the second period. Holtby did not allow a goal on three shots in the shootout. Sorry, Dominic Moore. Better luck next time, Adam Hall. No sale, Lecavalier. The Lightning captain may have knocked Neuvirth out, but he couldn’t do a thing with Holtby in the shootout. Holtby stood up to the towering Lecavalier, all 6 feet, 4 inches of him, and redirected the puck away with his left pad. [...]

At this point I think Varly is the odd man out. We try to get a draft pick or something for him since his crotch is apparently made of glass. Then again, Neuvy could bomb game one of the playoffs, and Varly carries us from there, I just hope Neuvs can be the one this year since he’s got the franchise record etc..

I’ve thought this for a while now, but I really believe Holtby is our long-term goalie. He’s more athletic than Neuvy, more focused and less fragile than Varly and he brings a certain fierceness to the crease that reminds me of Kolzig in his prime. Not this season, but GMGM is going to have to make some decisions in net this summer.
