But seriously, how could anyone say that Varlamov is a better goalie than Bobrovsky after seeing them both play in recent seasons?
Oopsie!:

Elite Bobrovsky:
32 GP, 18 W, .906SV%, 2.87GAA

Just Good Varlamov:
26 GP, 11W, .908SV%, 2.85GAA

You really "got me" there, Captain. The elite-ness is just dripping from those numbers. So much better than Varlamov...
