    No chance Bishop gets it with his March numbers. Rask will take this pretty easily.

    To me this is a philosophical question about whether you want to reward the best talent or whether you want to reward the best challenge. I look at Rask's numbers and they are virtually identical to his backups. Bishop is practically lapping Lindback's numbers this year. Without him the Lightning are on ice, AGAIN. Boston would seemingly be fine without Rask, though I don't really believe that.

    Anyways, I think Rask probably wins it but it depends on what you value more.

    1a. Bishop
    1b. Rask
    3. Price

    I'd be fine with either Rask or Bishop.
    The mindset of the voters will be this: "Wow, look at where Tampa Bay is in the standings despite being without Stamkos for extended period."
    And the peripheral to this mindset is to consider the other best TB players... and with MSL out-of-town... it just (true or not) makes it seem like Ben Bishop was a saviour.

    Rask is excellent, but the fact that Boston is always excellent hurts his chances in the voting.

    By pure play this year, I think Rask deserves it.
    But I believe that the vote will go to Bishop if TB finishes top four in the East.

    Varly or Bishop for me. Rask is an incredible goalie, but his performance is inflated by the team he plays behind. Considering basically any backup for Boston in recent years has put up elite numbers (like Johnson this year with a 2.04 GAA and .925 Save %), I think it has to be varlamov or bishop.

    If Price finishes strong I imagine he may be in the debate, too. But he would have to be lights out to garner any consideration.

    I think Rask wins it in a landslide (not in a plane crash.......pretty tasteless comment/joke about an ongoing disaster with hundreds of lives mysteriously and tragically lost, IMO.)

    3. The elite backups this season.

    I don't know, but I found a lot of backups came up and put up great numbers: Scrivens, Jones, Raanta, etc.

    I think it's pretty telling that nobody voted for MAF. Oh wait ...
