Great to see Hab fans enjoying their offseason with day drinking eh?Yet again more anti-Quebec bias from the NHL. How is this not Montembeault's award?
Hellebuyck will likely win but it would’ve been cool to see Bob get #3
Would have? Bob is nominated - am I misreading your post?
I've criticized Bob in the past - but was stellar in playoffs last year, and great, consistent and reliable this year, so well deserved nomination. I'd be shocked to see him outright win though - I suspect he's #2 or 3, and Helle wins.
With the number of times MAF has lost his starting job or melted down for the Pens in the playoffs you'd think people would have similar qualms, but if he gets in, and the consensus is that he easily will, Bob should absolutely get the same treatment. Hell, Bob is a much better candidate IMO.Bob has such a weird career. Two Vezinas, a 3rd nom now, (I think Helle is a lock to win), also has a significant amount of time being an albatross contract and totally untradeable bum, but then also had a spectacular run to the finals last year.
Hard to weigh his HOF case. Has the trohpies and elite seasons but also was a below average goalie for years during what should have been his prime.
He and Tim Thomas are two very odd cases and hard guys to place.
