Good point. He’s also probably the best shootout goalie in the league other than maybe Lundqvist, and if the last couple seasons have proven anything, shootouts matter.
However, it will be hard to argue against Tim Thomas’s numbers for the Vezina, and I don’t think any goalie has ever won the Hart in a year where he didn’t win the Vezina. In fact, I’ve actually seen Tim Thomas mentioned more than once in the Hart conversation.
