I love the Coyotes' goalie and it's his birthday today! What better a way to celebrate the big 3-0 than to be named player of the week...during the off season....
He had quite the amazing season this year and was definitely one of the major factors in the Coyotes making the playoffs this year (I so wanted them to win the series against Detroit! Next year...). Luckily, his teammates appreciate him
Before Phoenix, he was backup to Giguere on the Ducks, including the season they won the Stanley Cup. He was around when there was all the controversy with Chris Pronger asking for a trade away from Edmonton. But he came to his new teammates defense with this simple explanation:
He has played for his country - Russia - a few times, including winning gold at the 2009 World Championships... where they beat Canada... hmph. We'll stick to NHL highlights ;)
