Im not saying he will win, but in the talks? 33 wins, a .923 save% and a little more then 2 goals a game. He is a big reason why the Wings right now are in the playoffs. And ill finish like I started, just being nominated is a big deal, and I dont think he is better then Miller or Luongo. But to be mentioned in the same breath as those two this year would be a acomplishment for a rookie Goalie
Him winning the Vezina trophy is a long shot, he's gotta beat out guys like Bryzgalov and Miller who have been having great seasons. He's got a good shot at winning the Calder trophy though Oh I just read your post said finalist...that's top 2 right? even top 2 would be tough.
