Avalanche fans who have been waiting for a win from their team, finally saw one Saturday afternoon at the Pepsi Center.
The Avalanche looked, for the most part, evenly matched with the Nashville Predators going into Saturday's game. However, Nashville over looked one key factor: Semyon Varlamov.
Varlamov successfully stopped 34 shots during the afternoon matchup, and registered his third shutout of the season.
This goalie, whom I refer to as "The Iron Curtain," has proven to be just that. While it is clear that the Avalanche defense is one of the weakest in the NHL, their goalie has enabled them to pull out some 'W's on the season.
The Avalanche's young goalie, 24, has been a force to be reckoned with this year, making some absolutely beautiful saves from between the pipes.
While he is not an NHL frontrunner, we should keep our eye on him. This young goalie has the potential to achieve greatness.
