toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 This has to be the dumbest award. The award goes to the goalie, playing in at least 25 games, on the team that has given up the fewest goals (so, sometimes it is shared). So, it's really a team award, but they give it to an individual. I don't like a lot of goalie stats because I find most of them to be team oriented, however, if you want to give out an individual award for fewest goals against, why don't you give it to the goalie with the lowest GAA? Harding and Elliott had significantly lower GAA stats than Quick. They both played more than 25 games, but not much. If you want to draw the line in the sand on it at 40 games, that's fine, Schneider had a GAA of 1.97 and Rask had 2.04, both lower than Quick. What the award shows here is that Quick ended up having the worst GAA on his team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted April 14, 2014 There is only one award for the goalies to try and win....which gives an award to 3% of starting goalies. Theres not really anything else they could try and give them something to compete for other than shutouts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
