But that is not a comparable.
Its just a disadvantage to winning a trophy against skaters that is baked into the position. You dont play as much....you dont get seen as much.
Whether it be the Calder or Hart....G's have a higher bar to clear.
Not arguing he isnt worthy of it, but pointing out historically how it goes and moreso why.

Minutes for a goalie - well, sure they aren't in the play 60 minutes. But a lot of the time players in a shift aren't part of the play either, they are getting into position, looking for an opening, etc.
Let's say goalies only have to be on their toes half the game. It's still 30 minutes per start. And in games like last night an even greater amount.
