Taking a break from the Hart trophy, let's look at one of the Luongo vs Brodeur seasons.
It was a tight race. Brodeur narrowly won the vezina with 16 1st place votes and 14 2nd place votes to Luongo's 14 1st place and 15 2nd place votes. Interestingly enough, Luongo barely edged out Brodeur in Hart voting. (25 to 21 in favour of Luongo)
Both of them had nearly identical stats
Brodeur
GP 78 (1st)
.922 sv% (3rd)
SOG 2182 (2nd)
GSAA 36 (1st)
Luongo
GP 76 (2nd)
.921 sv% (4th)
SOG 2169 (3rd)
GSAA 35 (2nd)
And their team quality was virtually the same as well. both teams finished 5th in GA. Canucks were 22nd in GF while NJD ranked 24th.
I don't think I've seen 2 goalies with such similar individual and team stats, it's really no surprise the voting was as close as it was, and I don't think you could have gone wrong with either of them, certainly no robbery here. However, do you think Brodeur should have won over Luongo? Maybe someone else other than these 2 should have won?
