[Lapa]

Since we've had great goaltending this season from many different guys, I'd be curious to hear who's performance was your favourite.

Winner of the forward poll was Zach Parise.

F: Parise
D: Suter

I'll go with Kuemper.

The kid stepped up as a rookie when we had key players out with injuries and kept us in the chase.

Honorable mention to Bryzgalov for the monster streak coming out of the regular season and to Harding for being Harding.

Harding. Most starts. Most wins. And its Harding.

Its really not close. People will vote for the others because we remember it better.

Not saying they didn't also do a great job.

But Harding was leading the entire league in GAA and SV%.

This is tough one between Harding and Kuemper. A good argument can be made for both players.

Harding was putting up Vezina worthy numbers until it got derailed. With all the stresses his non-hockey life threw at him he was able to push that away when he was on the ice and focus on the job.

Kuemper came in as rookie and saved a season that could have easily slipped away. He shouldered a lot of pressure for team with expectations and thrived. Had a great bounce back when he was needed after a slow start to the season.

BTW I did vote Harding

Harding. Most wins, most starts, best save %. If he would've stayed healthy and played 65ish games at about the same level, he would've won the Vezina.

This season? Harding.

Overall? Kuemper's looking like our future starter.

 

[Puhis]

Harding, no question. His courage and determination makes a grown man weep.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

A tale of two seasons. Harding early, then Kuemper late.

I went with Kuemper, but I could have gone either way honestly.

Harding AINEC!
Ok maybe not, but man, the guy was stellar in EVERY game he played! kudos to Bryz and Kuemps but Harding definitely takes this.

Harding was very good and has great numbers, but you cant be the MVP of anything when your last game was in December.

Went with Kuemper here. Harding was a very close 2nd.
