Because he's a lazy Russian. What'd you expect.
I understand Vezina reflects the regular season, but people should take in consideration how one plays during the playoffs too. He deserves the nomination for his regular season, but does not deserve a 2nd Vezina win following his yet-another post-season collapse...
The voting was done before the playoffs started.

Soon-to-be-2-time-Vezina-winner Bobrovsky:
Seriously though: how does he fall off a cliff come playoff time EVERY SINGLE TIME? He's such a good goaltender all year long... I understand he played against the Penguins, but still...
Dubnyk, Holtby, Bobrosvky.
Dubnyk barely holding on to average. He's been slipping. BYE
Holtby way below average and looks lost in net. 2/4
Bob is invisible and sub .900. BYE
Price BYE
What happened?
Price played fine, even though I thought he let in a few goals he should have stopped, same way I felt about Martin Jones. If Price sustained that level of play over 4 rounds and won a cup, he could have been the Conn Smythe. Dubnyk wasn't bad, better than previous years in the playoffs. I thought he sucked in the previous two playoffs.
Holtby was pretty consistently amazing in the playoffs from year to year, despite always going out by round 2. He's been average in these playoffs though.
Bob was frickin abysmal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had a similar 5 game stretch of poor play like that during the regular season this past year. It just wasn't magnified because it wasn't the playoffs.
Bobrovsky has been consistently terrible when it counts. The anti-Justin Williams.
