Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=629565 Teams don't have success without high-quality goaltending, so it's no surprise the New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators have done so well this season.The Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist, the Kings' Jonathan Quick and the Predators' Pekka Rinne have been named finalists for this year's Vezina Trophy, awarded "to the goalkeeper adjudged to be the best at his position" as voted by the general managers of each of the 30 clubs. The winner will be announced at the 2012 NHL Awards Show, June 20 at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. Read rest of the story for more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rinne had a good season, but Mike Smith should have the third nomination. Lundqvist, Quick, and Smith. I think they need to take into account that Rinne has a better squad in front of him.

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Smith may be fourth. I like the nominees but it's a toss up who it will be, at least for me, they were all great. Edited April 25, 2012 by Hockeymom1960 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Exactly the three I thought should have been nominated. It's a bit of a toss up, all three are well deserving. I'd probably lean towards Lundqvist taking the Vezina this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Rinne, no brainer. Quick, no brainer. No wait. Lundqvist, no brainer. Get real, these guys all had amazing years and it's a coin-toss. I'd put my money on King Henrik since his team had the best success in the regular season and most people agree that he's due for a Vezina, but who knows. So far these guys have all been stellar in the playoffs as well.. one of their teams may very well take the cup. 1 Jocke reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he won't win this one either, but Quick deserves the Hart. If not for him the LA Kings are not even close to the playoffs. Most of the season they were dead last in goals scored, and I think finished at 29. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Show me the flower not nominated? too bad Honestly its a tough decision but I think Lundqvist will win it he is the only reason, why the Rangers are still alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
