I just had to say you spelled Miikka wrong on your top 10 list. But good article. I hope he has a ton of success once he leaves. Unless it's against the Canucks, I'll be cheering for his team.

Luo doesnt even have as good of a record as kipper kipper is the only one with a win % above .500 cujo had a team in edmonton like they do now but he actually got them into the playoffs and was the biggest part of them knocking off the top seeds. hextall is one of the only 2 goalies to lose in the finals and win the conn smyth.. luongo small part of the best team in the league in the last 2 years and has never raised his game in the playoffs...

Read that article on NHL.com as well. It's an interesting argument, so I'll do my best to rebutal. I don't know much about the style of play that Florida employed last season, but if you look at their goals per game, they ranked 27th in the league at 2.40. It stands to reason that they would have played a lot of trap and/or a very conservative system. Yes, they still average 30 shots against per game, but with what I imagine was a low-risk style of play, it's possible that a lower-than-average proportion of those shots were odd-man rushes/breakaways/etc. The implication is that Theodore and Clemmensen's save percentage might have been inflated for that reason. I could be completely wrong, but that's my semi-informed take.

2 Vezina nominations in Vancouver -record wins for the franchise.

I agree that he carried the Canucks in his first 3 years here.

In year 1 he did, and he was helped a lot by our defense.

In year 2 he was very good but the league was exceptionally tight -checking the stats.

In year 3 he was very good.

Forgive me but I helped your memory lapses,Riviera.
