All this Calder talk about Hughes and Makar is overshadowing the fact that Ilya Samsonov is dominating the net in Washington. It's not even a contest between him and Holtby.

Tough to get into the conversation when the race is paced by two defensemen scoring at historic rates (they're mentioned in the same breath as Housley, Lidstrom, Mark Howe, Leetch and Chelios when it comes to their careers' starts).
Also don't forget, Calder is a media voted category, and strictly going by how Petey was the runaway favorite and I doubt it got close between him/ Dahlin/ Binnington, I doubt it would be close after Makar/ Hughes given the fanfare these two have enjoyed. Kubalik and Olofsson, being 7th rounders (who are achieving solid seasons, don't get me wrong) may be easier to get lost in the mix.
