Btw Fleury has completely and utterly rebounded from his bad start, oh and key to the Pens winning Defence they are third in the league in Lowest Goals against per game, 2nd in the league in PK%. Also their rag tag guys re putting pucks in at opportune times. They have a lot of underrated grinders that wear out the other time and kill the clock super efficiently when they have the lead
Wasn't calling Tang and Gogo ragtags by any means, just the rest of the forwards Crosby is playing with. Kennedy, Dupuis, Kunitz, etc. Aren't exactly elite talent as I'm sure you are aware.

Real shocking as the guy who runs the powerplay that the league leader in points is on gets votes.

None of these guys were top goalies last year, all of them have rebounded huge this year. So living proof that goalies can rebound, Fleury's stats since his rebound would put him neck and neck with the league's top goalie's
Basically what I'm trying to say, goalies who are consistent year after year are hard to come by.

Agreed, weird how Doughty, Green, Keith, Etc have been out of the running thus far.
I want Lidstrom though. Guy is dominant at 40...
