Your 2023-24 Anti-Vezina winner is...

[LaCarriere]

Georgiev was probably overplayed. 62 starts, 63 appearances, 2nd moat of all goalies. Was average for what was asked of him, if the avs had a serviceable backup and georgiev wasn't playing 3/4 of their games he probably looks a bit better.

Because 5 is smaller than 20, not that hard really...

It's not the quanitity of bad, its the QUALITY of bad


Campbell was a greater concentration of horrible.

 

[Voight]

Korpisalo... bright side for Sens fans there's only 4 more years left on his contract!

 

[GrkFlyersFan]

It's not Samsonov, at least he was good in the second half and ultimately ended up keeping his job. Vanecek or Korpi was the worst starter. Vanecek for me. The Devils some had winning the Cup, missed the playoffs completely because of goaltending, and Vanecek was their starter most of the season. Things actually got BETTER for them after they traded for Allen.

 

[Bleedred]

Why did Ottawa sign Korpisalo to a 5 year deal last summer? Was I the only one who said that was the worst contract of 2023 UFA day and it certainly STILL is after just one year into it? But some goalie guy said that Korpisalo was fixed after hip surgery and he was only bad for years before that because he was playing with a painful hip. His 2022-2023 was nothing more than an up season. Like when a really good player has a bad year/down year? Korpisalo did the oppositive of that in 2022-2023. He's legitimately probably the worst goaltender in the league, not counting call ups or some of the third string guys. And even a lot of them are better than him.

It makes sense though. After Ottawa signed Korpisalo to a 5 year deal, they quickly started the 2024 offseason by being just the second team and still only one of two teams to make an offseason head coaching hiring out of the currently 6-8 vacancies (whatever the number is that still remains) and that head coach was Travis Green!

Bravo Ottawa and Doriooopss. The guy that hired Green wasn't even the same GM that signed Korpisalo.

Vanecek or Georgiev.

- someone who drafted both as their starters in fantasy

Would you believe me if I told you I started the year with Raanta and Samsonov

(I had Andersen too lol that was a long year)

To that end, Samsonov for me. The turning point was the game where the Leafs literally erased a 5 goal deficit vs Columbus just so he could let in one more goal in overtime. I just could not believe this was a real NHL goaltender.

Raanta is a close second. You don't get to put up the worst 60-minute save percentage in the history of the statistic without getting mentioned

 

[NVious]

Samsonov really fell off towards the end of the year, but he did pick it up in the playoffs again

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Vanacek
Samsonov
Korpisalo

Trash beyond trash

I can get behind this list. I put Korpisalo at #2 though and Samsonov at #3

Vitek Vanecek AINEC

Mans came to burn down the village, didn't bring any matches.

Get real, he played 5 games.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yeesh, Vladar fell off that bad? He was pretty solid in Boston.

No he wasn’t

 

[57special]

but MAF has an infectious smile!

 

[Hasbro]

The Red Light Racicot Trophy.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I know he's on an awful team but Soderblom having 7 wins in 50 NHL games (5-22-2 this year) is depressing.

Towards the end of the season it looks like they started to trust Jusstus Annunen at least as a back up, So maybe Geo gets a normal workload next year.
