No Vezina or Hart finalist left

[JustAsking]

I think this represents two facts

1.) Hockey is a team sport
2.) The parody in the league is working

----
No Selke finalist either I do not think

but

Two Norris finalists.

Please correct any mistakes.

1 Norris. Doughty and Green are out. Keith only one left.

1 player does not make a team.

Parity.

Parity.

Yes, that is what I mean.... parity.

(and norris, that's right... I thought Pronger or Chara had to be a finalist)

Ryan Miller.

/Case Closed.

green should not be a finalist. his defensive inabilities show in the playoffs. that is a defensemans first responsibility. offensive numbers shouls not play a big part unless they are good defensively.

Ryan Miller.

touche. you are correct there. i have actually said that all year. i have not seen a goalie where his team would probably not even be in the playoffs without him and with him they are a 3 seed.

It also represents another fact that is true to the hockey playoffs... the best team often does not win. If anything, one player (namely the goalie) can have more of an influence on the outcome of a series than any other player at any other position in any other sport.

So the goalie isn't part of the team?

I thought that for some time but 7 games is good sample size. If you can't do the things that let you overcome the better goalie in that time, you weren't the better team.

 

[scottflyers88]

yea i think a goalie can steal a series although over a 7 game series if your team is that much better then they should win.
