Bernier and the Vezina

[Eb]

Short Answer: No.

Having one good statistic does not make you the best goalie in the league.

Quick, Rask, Rinne, Price, Luongo, Fleury, etc. etc.

Lots of dominant franchise goalies haven't won a Vezina yet. Bernier has been terrific for almost one full season, but we might be getting a little ahead of ourselves.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

any idea who's going to win the vezina this year?

At the moment it's probably between Bishop and Rask.

It's weird that people keep thinking it's about him winning it, it's about if he's been good enough to enter the conversation, to be a runner up nominee, which in itself would be great.

Love the trade that brought us Bernier the minute we made it....

He is playing up to what we hoped we would get....we have our number 1 who ceiling is anywhere from good to Elite.

As for the Vezina this year he is in the conversation....a name I will put forward as a finalist is Semyon Varlamov.....look up his stats.
