Last year, Rask arguably played better, but I agree that Miller was the obvious (and correct) choice.  Though imo, Vokoun and probably Howard should have gotten the other nominations. As for this year, Thomas is the winner by default right now.  Unless he tanks, no one else deserves it.  Other...

Actually, funnily enough, Lundqvist's best season (last year's) went completely unheralded, but his reputation coming out of his very strong rookie season earned him two undeserved Vezina nominations in '07 and '08.

The Rangers would win if they had a great goalie.  Lundqvist isn't a great goalie because he doesn't win.  :innocent:

I wouldn't call Brodeur an excellent goalie.  He's had two excellent stretches in his career, but overall I'd settle on "very good".   As for your second point, lets look at the last ten years.  Because I don't know whether you're right.  I'd agree that goalie is the most important position in...

This is patently false.  Teams win.  Goalies may actively contribute to that.  They might not. Who's the lead leaguer in wins right now?  This goaltender has the 14th best save percentage, the 31st best goals against average, and 14th in minutes played.  Clearly he is the best in the league.  ...

Belfour's a great goalie, who was great late and in OT, and played for some Dallas teams that were very strong defensively.  In terms of goalies of the modern era, I'd slide him in at third.  Luongo would probably come in at fourth, and Cujo fifth. The big shame about Cujo is that he spent so...

In answer to this question: Game 7 Save %: Hasek .946, Brodeur .928, Belfour .921, Roy .907, Cujo .900 Head-to-head record Game 7s: Belfour .833, Hasek .667, Cujo .571, Brodeur .500, Roy .462

Hasek.  The only reason he didn't revolutionize the position is that no goaltender has been physically capable of playing like him.  He was unbelievably dominant on mediocre teams.  He was the best in the clutch.  He was the best playoff goalie.   I'd disagree that Roy was the "key player" on...

Teams win cups.  Goalies don't win cups.  Otherwise, Grant Fuhr is the best goalie of the modern age with five Stanley Cups, despite being mediocre his entire career. Hasek has the best career playoff performance of any goalie.  You put him with a great team, he wins lots of games.  But wins...

I'd agree. If he had played on the Devils, he would've won the Cup every year.

I have to say I'm consistently shocked at how underrated he is by prevailing wisdom today.  To me, he is the clear candidate for best goalie of the modern era.  The extent of the Dominator's strangehold on the position is shown pretty well here: http://brodeurisafraud.blogspot.com/200 ...

Interesting stats I just pulled on Tim Thomas' season so far. He is currently on pace to establish a record for a single-season save percentage record (0.938), besting Dominik Hasek's current record (0.937) set in 1998-99. Some differences, however: in 1998-99, there was a league-wide save...

Meh setlist.

There are... other options.   But I'd advise doing it soon, as part of the greatness is the immediacy.  Seriously: they were airing stuff three days after it was filmed.  The last part the first episode covers is Washington's 7-0 loss to New York on December 12th; the first episode aired on...

Just something to mention: every one who considers themself to be even the slightest bit a hockey fan needs to watch 24/7 Penguins-Capitals.  Phenomenal.

How did it take this long for Lidstrom to get a hat trick? 

I don't think Maiden is particularly unique in their fanbase.  Good music will always find a way to filter down to subsequent generations.  It's why people still listen to Vivaldi or Mozart.

Promoters.  What else?

If Maiden win a Grammy half of Bruce's rants will become irrelevant  :innocent:
