Today, the NHL announced that the three finalists for the Vezina Trophy. None were New York Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov. And that’s absolutely ridiculous. Varlamov not only deserved to be a finalist but to win the award outright.
The three finalists for the award are Marc-Andre Fleury (Vegas Golden Knights), Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay Lightning), and Philipp Grubauer (Colorado Avalanche).
