Hello Everyone, This poll will close in 5 days, with the winner receiving an extra vote during the final tabulation (out of 7). FYI: YOUR VOTE CANNOT BE CHANGED SO CHOOSE WISELY!!! Note: The Vezina Trophy is awarded to the league's top goaltender. Criteria 1) Production in relation to peers. It goes without saying that goaltenders with high SV%, low GAA, and the most shutouts are generally the "best" in the league. In particular, SV% should be weighted slightly more than GAA when analyzing stats. Also compare how a goalie did in comparison to the other goalie(s) on his team throughout the season. This gives some extra insight into how truly outstanding a goalie's performance was. 2) Individual record. In a league where goalies don't get to play every game in a season, individual record becomes a very important and telling statistic. At the end of the day it's about winning, and to be considered for the Vezina you should be posting at minimum a respectable record. Also note that to be eligible for the Vezina you need to have played the most goalie games on your team. You can't be judged as the best goalie in the league if you weren't even judged as the best goalie on your team. It's preferable for goalies to have gotten a brunt of the workload throughout the season as opposed to an average 5/4 split, but this is not mandatory for consideration. 3) Linemates. This is mainly to note that a goalie should not be significantly punished during consideration simply for playing behind a talented team. In the real NHL, goalies frequently win the Vezina Trophy despite playing on teams filled with star players. On the flip side of this, goalies should not significantly benefit during consideration simply for playing on a below average team.
