In a season that has been full of pleasant surprises thus far, Nagelvoort has a good claim to be the best one early on.  Obviously he has a long way to go, but his goaltending has been absolutely stellar and has made the difference in several 1-goal victories.  If he continues playing at this level, the battle will be on in earnest with Racine once the latter returns from injury.  Good problems to have!
