After watching the Leafs beat on Anaheim last night, in which Bernier was the difference once again with a 43 save performance, I checked out the league leaders and found that in his first full year, thus far, amongst tenders having played atleast 30 games he's tied for second in Sv%, and amongst the six tenders likely to have a shot at winning the Vezina he's faced the most shots by a large margin, 2nd most in the league beyond Mike Smith and considering he's playing on one of the worst defensive teams in the league, I'm wondering what people think his realistic shot is of having a shot at the Vezina.
Bernier's played 67 less minutes then Rask yet faced over 300 more shots and has the same Sv%. In my opinion Bishop and Rask will fight it out for the Jennings (Lowest GAA) but at this point I think Bernier is runner up to Bishop for the Vezina with a strong argument supporting him having been the best tender.
