Vasilevskiy’s Vezina Win Reminds the NHL Who Runs Tampa Bay

Andrei Vasilevskiy taking home the Vezina is not exactly a subtle message to the rest of the league. The Lightning’s backbone still starts in goal, and that reality has a way of making opponents very honest about their margin for error. The Times of India presents it as a reminder, and in hockey terms that usually means the rest of the league just got a fresh warning label. Tampa Bay may not need to shout when its star goalie keeps doing star-goalie things.
