While on the subject, someone should have 'jerked the knees' out from under Varlamov today as he really didn't cover the low stuff well. Chalk it up to rust for now, although it still baffles me how he put up the numbers he did in the RSL when he's so not "professionalized" in his style. I still say he's a far superior natural athlete than most goalies in the world so hopefully the rest will fall in place over time. Lovin' Alzner. Russian D-corps needs a heart transplant as well if they're to stay in the series. Glad to see the knee jerks return.

Very, very few goalies are NHL-ready at his age; for every Cam Ward there are dozens who hit their stride in the mid-20s (or later). He does need work, but I have faith in Dave Prior's positive assessment and hope that, with more training and seasoning, Varlamov will turn into a Capitals star.

He looked very squirly in the rookie camp, and I assume he was today by this showing. He paddles down far too often, and over-reacts alot.
