I picked Bishop, he had a great season and his team would have had a chance in the playoffs if he wasn't hurt. Can't take that away from him.

Rask for me. He was fantastic.

I think Varlamov would be more deserving of the Hart trophy, but Rask deserves the Vezina more. If that makes any sense.

Makes perfect sense. I have no doubt Varlamov will be top 5 in Hart votes this season. With the amount of shots he faced every night (avg of 32), he was easily the reason the Avs made the playoffs. In fact just by looking at his stats, he faced 40+ shots 9 times and only lost 1 in regulation, including a couple of 48 & 49 shot games.

Varlamov, as long as Roy doesn't win Jack Adams.

Rask just slightly over Bishop.
Varmalov not even close for me wouldn't have him in my top 5.

I like Rask but he also plays for a great defensive team. Throw him in the net in Ottawa or Winnipeg and tell me if he's the best goalie in the league.

Voted for Rask, but after thinking about it, should have voted for Varlamov. Colorado has a pretty thin d-core, and speaks volumes to the quality of goaltending to get them into the playoffs.

Need to add a write in vote.....as I want to vote for the Blackfoot goalies - otherwise, Da Bish gets my vote simply for the way he revolutionized the position.....

Rask. Even though the Bruins have talent up front, they never have to worry about goaltending.

Bishop. Take away the other two goalies and those teams still make the playoffs, the Bolts would not have gotten a sniff.

The Bruins aren't some defensive superpower like people think they are. They were 12th in the league in shots against. Calgary and New Jersey faced less shots than Boston did.

Rask for me, but did anyone else see what their backup did this year?
Chad Johnson: W-17 L-4 OTL-3 GAA-2.10 SV%- .925
It makes me wonder how much of Rask's stats were based on team defense rather than his own individual effort. I might have to consider Varlamov the better man due to his lack of defense in front of him.
