Holtby it is

 

[KingsFan7824]

I don't think he wins it, but it would be funny if this was the year when Quick, Doughty, and Kopitar all won these awards.

No way Holtby loses. Happy to see Quick get a nod though especially with all the minerals we're gonna mine from it.

Haha

the main boards are gonna go ape

 

[The Night King]

Surprised. Not his best season.

But I can already taste the salt from the main boards without reading it.

Thought Crawford would've been there instead of Quick, but this is a pleasant surprise. He won't win, but it's worth it for the ensuing whining that will come.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

oh man, the internet outrage over Quick should be hiliarous.

I would have gone with Crawford over him but at least it's a sign that the GMs are paying attention to stuff other than raw save percentage, like workload, team effects, etc

 

[Ollie Weeks]

That's random.

system goalie boys

 

[cyclones22]

Set the Kings record for wins in a season. Most shutouts by an American. Then after the Kings clinched, the team took a dump for the rest of the season. Unfortunate.

5 games on national television showed all the main boarders that the system isn't as good as they were hyping. Now Quick has evolved into a reputation goalie.

Kings players sure didn't do themselves any favors with that first round.

It's a good/bad thing regular season awards don't include the playoffs.

 

[The Night King]

Didn't take long for the Karlsson homers to show up and it has nothing to do with Doughty.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

His case:

"Quick led all NHL goaltenders in appearances (68), starts (68) and minutes (4,034), and ranked second in wins (40), fifth in saves (1,671) and tied for fifth in shutouts (5) in 2015-16. He became the first Kings goaltender to reach 40 wins in a season, breaking his own club record (39, 2009-10). The Milford, Conn., native recorded his 41st career shutout March 14 at Chicago, passing Frank Brimsek (Eveleth, Minn.) and John Vanbiesbrouck (Detroit, Mich.) – both with 40 – for the most by a U.S.-born goaltender in NHL history. Quick is a Vezina finalist for the second time after a second-place finish in 2011-12."

GMs don't just look at stats. If anything GMs are some of the most "eye test" oriented voters in the league.

Don't tell that to Karlsson fans.

GMs also have an entire staff of scouts and coaches, yet mainboarders will still claim to be more qualified.

 

[onlyalad]

Sad thing is the main board is talking how Quick doesn't deserve it. When they should be celebrating who does.

 

[damacles1156]

No idea why people get so worked up over this. Honestly who cares ?

Quick had a pretty good season.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Surprised. Not his best season.

now we know officially that no one watches Kings games lol

 

[TonySCV]

Seriously? Well, that's odd. I love Quick, but he's had better seasons than this. Sympathy nom I guess.

 

[Hatter]

Really great to hear! Holt is going to take it for sure but a wonderful nod to say the least

 

[Hatter]

Quick - Vez finalist
Doughty - Norris finalist
