Considering he wasn’t a day one starter especially. And this may be his last chance.

MAF will win and that will be enough to make him a lock for the HoF. Biggest knock against him was that he never was really that good individually but he was great this year.

Fleury is already a lock for the Hall of Fame.

3rd all time in wins.

Same GAA as Roy. More shutouts.

Better save % than Brodeur.

Three Finals appearances as starter (08, 09, 18)

Three cups.

That’s a lock with or without a Vezina.

Lots of people haven't paid attention to Grubauer this season, he has been tremendous.

I think he wins it.

Would've been nice to see Saros get a nomination for dragging the Preds into the postseason more or less singlehandedly. But yeah, Vasilevskiy, for me.

I think Vasilevskiy is the best goalie of the three, but I'm rooting for Fleury. Not sure if many voters would consider voting for him as a bit of a "lifetime achievement" award but I think it must factor in somewhat.

Count me as one of them. Did a double take when I was reading the three finalists.

All from stacked teams... certainly makes life easier on a goalie

I hope Fleury wins, but any of the three have a good case. Great set of finalists.

Very hard to separate good teams from good goalies.

I think hockey has two of the most unbreakable records in all of sports.

1. Gretzky’s 2857 career points - nobody’s breaking it. Ever. Unless they start making the goalies wear skater equipment, it’s not coming down.

2. Brodeur’s 691 career wins. Roy is second with 551. Fleury at 492 is third.

Fleury would need to win 200 more games to set that record. He’s 37, and his career high 42 wins came a decade ago. Doubt he manages to average 40 wins until he’s 42 years old. He could get Patrick, but no chance he reaches Marty.

The person who’s going to threaten this record for sure hasn’t played in the league yet, and odds are, they haven’t even been born.

You forgot one .

Glenn Hall starting 502 games, consecutively.

Nobody will ever touch that.
