This will be fun to dredge up...
In my post about Jagr, I said, "ya know, he's really a 3x MVP...because he missed four games too many or whatever in 2000 when he was clearly the best...and one of the worst trade in history cost him two and I'm not holding it against him really..."
Same here. For whatever reason if people believe that Luongo deserved two of Brodeur's Vezinas, it doesn't change my vote any...they basically tied in 2007, and I'm guessing the other one is 2004 where because Luongo played for a dog **** team and faced a ton of shots that he had a high save pct. and therefore was better (*Ace Ventura mocking laugh*), fine, whatever, he didn't finish above Kiprusoff either, but in any event...it doesn't even slightly alter my thinking...nor would it alter it if Brodeur didn't have those two Vezinas...
If we're going to play that game though, my wishlist for Marty includes the 2003 Conn Smythe (3 shutouts in the Final, 7 shutouts in 16 games...didn't give up 20 goals in the Final...didn't wear a mattress...smell ya later Jiggy)...and, uh, (here's where I lose what's left of my audience), let me get a recount on the 1997 Vezina too...Hasek for MVP is fine, I wouldn't mind taking another cut at Brodeur for best goalie though, they're different awards in my eyes...
