In the last two matches at the gates of one of the best goalkeepers in the world was 10 goals. On the eve of the match with the “Tampa” in Washington, the problem of the goalkeeper's position in the “Capitals” was actively discussed. So, for example, the head coach of the “capital” Peter Laviolette indirectly criticized Vitek Vanechek and Ilya Samsonov, noting that neither of them can now be called a goalkeeper, in whose actions one can be as confident as possible: “They are both good, but I would like so that one of them is really able to take matters into their own hands and that they can be relied upon.» The Washington Post also spoke about goalkeepers. In their opinion, the same Samsonov plays extremely unstable — «with ups and downs.»
