I wanted to post this in the ''Sawchuk'' thread but the discussion would have be hijacked.
Since the coming of the voted Vezina trophy in 1982, there have been many years where the two goaltenders voted on all star teams differ from the two Vezina finalists. The most glaring example is the Theodore/Roy one in 2002. The last episode is in 2004 when Kiprusoff was the Vezina runner-up while Luongo was voted to the 2nd all-star team. My question is :
Which of the Vezina votes or all-star teams votes worth the most.
Everybody knows that between 1931 and 1981 the all-star selection are the best way to look at who are the best goalies. But from 1982 on, is the Vezina more representative or are the all-star teams still the best thing to look at?
BTW : Are the complete all-star votes available before 1981?. I'm looking for a list of the 3rd best goalie for those years. I know they do not appear in the sticky thread but I still take a chance.
Thanks
