Hockey Talk

ESPN has this good discussion on who may win the Vezina Trophy. I am pulling for Roy, but it's starting to look like Hasek will finish the year (regular and post-season) with 50+ wins. That will make him hard to vote against. There's a lot of nice things said about the Canadiens' Theodore, the Coyote's Burke, and the Lightning's Khabibulin, but really, I think it has to come down to the guy who leads in wins (Hasek) and the guy who leads in stats (Roy). If the Avs go further in the playoffs than the Wings, I think Roy is a shoe-in. I think the Vezina is supposed to recognize the regular season leader, but the recency effect and thus the playoffs could make a difference.
