Who ya got? Bob, Thatch, Helly or write in? If you vote write in, you better post who you would have voted for!

Was Bob even the best on his team?

Someone got screwed.

FWIW the three nominees finished 1-2-3 in GSAA (Goals Saved Above Average)

What's Helle's GSAA in the playoffs?

[Axeman33]

No way Hellebuyck isn't the unanimous winner in this one.

No way Hellebuyck isn't the unanimous winner in this one.

There's absolutely a way. Since when do these awards always go to the person we the fans would vote for. The fact that Demko hasn't won it has me leaning towards him being the winner. Don't get me wrong, I agree Helly should win it but I'm not convinced that means he will.

What's Helle's GSAA in the playoffs?

I can confirm he's not a nominee for the Conn Smythe

[Canucks_fan18]

Helly. He just had the best season of the three. It's not that close. Forget the playoffs for a moment.

[dejeanneret]

I think Helly will win it. But I can see a compelling argument for Demko.

GAA and SPct are a tad behind Helly. But only 2 fewer wins in 9 less games. And perhaps more importantly, voters got a good long look at what the Canucks looked like with and without Demko in net. Whereas Brosssoit also excelled for the Jets, posting a 2.00 and .927 in 22 starts.

[Belexus75]

all 3 seasons were very similar, Demko played 10 less games but had only 2 less wins...i voted Helly, cause it asked who will win it. I think all 3 deserve it just about the same!

[GinFizz]

Helly should and will win this.

[Zorro]

Saves above expected is the only stat that matters in this one!!

Helly unanimous!!

[Pengwin7]

I like these picks for goalies.
I'd be fine with any of them winning.
My vote would be Hellebuyck - as I just didn't think Winnipeg had a playoff-caliber skater-group in front of Helle (to start) this year.
Incredible that they finished as high as they did, I think.

[Side note: There IS... somewhere... a thread where somebody was asking for goalie help before the season and I said that Bob was, by far, the best option. The OP and many others said "too old". Psh. Love to find that one... would've been a great player to have on a lot of roster this year... and probably next year too!]

[Invictus]

I remember that thread. Umm don’t remember the name of it

[Eskimo Brother]

I spent somewhere between 5-10 minutes looking for it and couldn't find it. Maybe someone else will have more luck.
