I just ran it with min 40 games played and Price was 10th in both GA and sv%.
You think that deserves a nomination? Didn't think so.
Why you ran it with 40 games ? Still not an amount of game of Vezina trophy winner... Try 50...ahhh I see why you won't post... Because you tried it and saw the results eh?
I don't think there was a better goaltender in 2019 that Carey Price. So yeah I think he deserved a nomination. Didn't make the playoffs, team had 44 wins. Avs are in 2nd round with 38 wins. So the whole playoff or not aspect I don't understand it for the Vezina. Bobrov won it without making it.
Here just for you, I'll run it down cuz you shy.
50 games:
GAA: 4th
Save%: 4th
There was
19 goalies with 50+ games this year.
Bishop and Lehner weren't among these.
Bishop and Lehner are 21st and 22nd int he NHL for save made. 22 and 23 for shot against.
Bishop is 22 and Lehner 24 for time on ice.
Out of 31 starter (cuz u know 31 team. hence 31 #1) they are freaking low.
Workload has always been taken into consideration for that trophy. Nitpicking goalie had not above of ,920 save %... Are we really going to say that the difference bwteen ,918 and ,920 is significant when you play 60-65games?
