Vezina Trophy finalists named

Rios15 · Apr 20, 2010

NEW YORK -- Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, joining Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils and Ilya Bryzgalov of the Phoenix Coyotes.

The finalists for the award given to the NHL's top goaltender were announced Monday. The winner will be unveiled during the league awards show June 23 in Las Vegas.

Miller was the MVP of the Vancouver Olympics, going 9-2-1 while helping Team USA win a silver medal. He was second in the league with a 2.22 goals-against average and .929 save percentage this season, winning 41 games for Buffalo.

Brodeur is a four-time Vezina winner and led all goaltenders in games (77), victories (45) and shutouts (nine) this season.

Bryzgalov helped the Coyotes set franchise records for wins and points in a season.

Brodeur plays a lot of games a season and is still able to keep his shape. All 3 of these goalies are deserving of the award though.

Too bad Luongo had an off year. Well deserved for the 3 of them though. Miller and Ilya were MVPs for their respective teams.

Miller has to get it. He himself pretty much made hockey that much more popular in the US.

That's outside of NHL hockey lol, Brodeur played 77 games out of 82 (GOALIE) and only has .2 worse GAA than Miller does. Although I could see Miller getting it.

Miller by far is the most important player for the Sabres. Plus Martin has enough Vezinas.

1 more will make him that much greater.

He won't get it. The 30 GMs will choose who'll win it anyways and I will piss my pants if they don't pick Miller to be the winner.

Tuukka Rask should have been a candidate, Howard is overrated.
