Has anyone with 3 Vezina nods not made it in? Serious question. He lost to Brodeur, Brodeur, and Thomas on the back of crazy seasons by each of those guys. Seriously: lu broke the record for wins in a season only to have Brodeur break it too in the same year. Two Pearson nominations and a Hart nomination. Two shutouts in a Stanley cup final series and the team in front of him scores 8 goals.
He has a decent shot at top 5 in wins and shutouts. An outside shot at 500 wins (while spending over half his career with non playoff teams).
Anyone making cracks about his play in 2010 should take a look at his save on Demetra (RIP) to advance to the gold medal game.
I get that the bar is high for goalies and I'm not saying he is at Brodeur's level (obviously not). But those dismissing him with "lol no" have no idea what they're taking about.
Yes. Tom Barrasso was a Vezina finalist 5 times, including one win and he isn't in. Also won 2 Cups.
