	I'm sorry, but I thought this was Evgeni Nabokov's year. He deserved the Vezina Trophy this year.

	I'd have to wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree. My pick would have been for Lundqvist. After watching all the games this season, he not only was MVP to his team, but look at all the times he outshined Brodeur in the season series and playoffs.

	I sure didn't think that it was Marty's year again, but its hard to argue when you look at the team of scratches he carried to the playoffs. They even challenged for first place for a while. I don't like the fact that Brodeur is a lock to pass my first goalie hero, Patrick Roy, on the all-time career wins list in the coming season, but I will be truly angered if he passes my all-time favorite player/sabre, Dominic Hasek, record of six vezina trophies!

	All do respect to Brodeur, who had another great season, I agree with you 100% Crusader. Nabokov played a huge role in the Sharks' success. He had a better goals against average, more shutouts, more wins and the same amount of games played as Brodeur. The only major category Brodeur led in was save percentage. It doesn't happen too often that a goalie gets robbed, but Nabby had just that happen to him.

	Nobody got robbed, Brodeur deserved it. Nabovok had 2 more wins on a better team. A 2.14 GAA as opposed to Brodeur's 2.17 2 more shutouts. But Brodeur had a .920 SV % to Nabokov's .910 The only stat that wasn't close between the two was in Brodeur's favor.

	Broduer doesn't deserve it....i agree crusader. The guy plays on a team that has a defensive system...he has played better in the past and i just think there were better goalies this year. Its just like the award lidstrom won....they like never change hands they always give them to the same guys every year. Granted Lidstrom is a hell of a D man but i just think there are other players out there that should be given credit since they play on lesser teams...

	Brodeur also faced 300 more shots with a much weaker D.

	6 shutouts compared to 4. Thats 33% more shutouts. The reason the Sharks were a much better team was because of Nabokov!
