seagoal Posted Tuesday at 05:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:09 PM Pretty happy to see all 3 of these guys, with Juice and Marky being two of my favorite goalies. https://www.nhl.com/news/vezina-trophy-finalists-announced/c-333946092 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted Tuesday at 05:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:37 PM I do enjoy the irony of this announcement coming on the heels from Igor letting in 6 goals lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Saros not playing in the playoffs at all because of an injury in game 80 of the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:46 PM (edited) Interesting that the lineup consists of only one behemoth along with two smaller guys... there's still hope for me. Edited Tuesday at 05:47 PM by chile57 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! I love that too. Shame to goalies with the crossbar across their lumbars, shame! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always preferred watching the smaller guys play. Guys like Bishop always just seem to lumber around and have the puck hit them (which is a credit to them). If I'm watching I'll take controlled chaos any day. Plus its always fun to see David go up against Goliath... and win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus its always fun to see David go up against Goliath... and win. Yup. Saros is my favorite goalie to watch followed by Quick. They are both so fun to watch them work. Quick is neither giant nor tiny but he "plays smaller" so it kinda works along the lines of watching Saros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted Tuesday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:02 PM (edited) @seagoal during the summer my 6' - 4" buddy occasionally tends the net on the other end while my 5' - 4" frame does its best to tend to the other. Its funny to watch him and how he "fits" in the net versus knowing how I need to move and how I (literally) fit IN THE NET. Its like real life Mutt and Jeff. Anyways - I'd be fine with any of those guys winning. Even Markstrom has the rags to riches thing going on so that redemptive arc is always a feel good story.

There is no need to "make saves" if the puck is just gonna hit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netminder Posted Wednesday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:01 AM (edited) The best goalie currently in the AHL is only 6 foot nothing too. Old school scouts should lose their jobs knowing athletic always beats size. Very few "average sized", but ultra athletic goalies will not make it for no other reason then size.

WillyGrips13 Posted Thursday at 04:21 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:21 AM You guys are talking about shorter goalies possibly making a comeback. But thinking of Tim Thomas, maybe the more robust body-type should make a comeback. Him and Marty had beer league bodies. Both were pretty durable. Sometimes I wonder if all the goalie injuries have something to do with these guys looking like stick-figures. No data to back this theory up, of course. Also, it would be nice if we had less flopping from goalies after the get bumped into. Act like it didn’t bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
