VIDEO: Kaapo Kakko Gets Robbed of Yet Another Goal by Andrei Vasilevskiy at IIHF Worlds
By Max Scoli
Just when Kaapo Kakko thought he was on the brink of adding a goal next to his name in the box score, Andrei Vasilevskiy snatched that thought away by distorting his body in ways many didn't think were physically possible.
How Andrei Vasilevskiy kept this out... I don't know. Great desperation stop on Kaapo Kakko on the goal line. #IIHFWorlds pic.twitter.com/z8aTV6Caop

Talk about committing to the position.
The Tampa Bay Lighting goalie hasn't lost a step since his NHL season ended. The two-time All-Star is a pivotal piece of Team Russia in their pursuit of excellence on a global scale at the IIHF World Championship. Will the team end up making it to the final? If they do, Vasilevskiy will be a big reason for it.
