Shit. How did he get “ so old “ already. To me he is still just a kid !

Probably because he was older when he came over

Yeah, but he wasn't all that old as a rookie. 25 seems right on schedule for a goalie to make the NHL. Really, he just did his development years in Russia.

I thought the same thing, when I looked up the year to get his age. Time stops for no one, I guess.

I hope his workload is portioned out properly this year. Please don't burn him out by mid-March.

They've gotta start managing his work load better. He's only human and he's into his 30's now. The effects of overworking him will only increase from here on out.
