BuretoMogilny Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We've all seen how he's playing, how he's elevated his game (and what I like it was after he said he needed to be better, remember that comment a month ago, that he had to stop letting in 3 a game, well he did and here are his stats). I believe with the pace he's on, if he keeps it up he will creep in to Vezina talks. He is now tied for 1st in save % amongst starters with Rask (Anderson above but has been hurt 1/2 the season) Tied for 1st in shutouts He's 4th in gaa amongst real starters (Bernier is above him but not really a starter, and Anderson has been hurt 1/2 the season) He creeps into the top three in gaa for starters he's a lock to get nominated. Keep it up Cory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think so, even though he doesn't have much playoff experience, the way he has been playing creeping up the stats ladder and having how many shutouts in the last 11 games, he is definitely up there in the Vezina race. He has my vote, but what can I say I'm a diehard!!! Big fan of his, just love his approach to making saves, he doesn't panic out there after the first initial save.

Deets Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 ^^ Vezina has nothing to do with playoff experience. Regular season only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 He might get nominated but he has a little bit better than zero percent chance of winning it. Not because he doesn't deserve it but the Eastern GM's pretty much vote in a block for the Vezina. 4 winners of the Vezina Trophy have come from the West in the past 30 years (Kiprusoff, Belfour x2, and Fuhr). Rask might as well start preparing his acceptance speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The Vezina seems to take history and prestige into account as much as the Norris, so don't be surprised if Lundqvist steals this again. He deserves it for the way he's playing right now, and compared to the teams Schneider and Rask are behind, he's being hung out to dry every night with no goal support. In an abbreviated season it's hard to rank wins and games played, but purely performance-based Lundqvist has to get a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. White Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's funny that you make this thread because I was just thinking about his chances of winning the Vezina last night. If he keeps up this level of play he for sure will be nominated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's because our defence is starting to play better. Doesn't matter how good the goalie is, the defence can always make him look bad. I'm glad Schneider is playing great and the team is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 He needs to finish in top 5 in wins column at least. If not, there's almost no way of him winning. He is currently 12 th in wins right now but tops in shut outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Chances are with no west vs east match ups this year. I feel the eastern bias with be greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
