But that's the thing about Gibson, too.

Lots of people in here acting like it's hot-takey that he's included as if it's only a few good games, but he's been nails for a few years, just been shorted by injury and a bad team and he still did more than his fair share of getting the Ducks points.
Vezina is a much about reputation as it is about performance. Vasi being on a high-profile team makes a big difference. IMO, Bishop will be the front runner if he stays healthy and has a good season. Career achievement award

He seems to keep getting better. This year in 3 games he's led the Ducks (!) to 3 straight wins, giving up a total of 3 goals and .970 save %. He's never even been a Vezina finalist before but this could be the year. Lack of wins could potentially hurt him though.

If James Neal is the current Rocket Richard favourite, then yes.

Ovechkin is the current Rocket favourite, because he's had many seasons of great scoring.
Most people in this thread seem to have forgotten that Gibson was already a good goalie before these few games - it's not like he's a rookie and we don't know what he can do.

Gotta pump the brakes with threads like this. 2 weeks into the season, how can you possibly even nominate anyone at this point?
