A quick trivia question for all my friends out there in ForeverBlueshirts land. Who is the only current NHL goaltender to win the Vezina Trophy for the league’s best netminder as well as back-stop their team to a Stanley Cup Championship?
If you said Braden Holtby of the Washington Capitals, you are correct. Holtby captured the Vezina in 2016 and of course, the Saskatchewan native backstopped his Capitals squad to the Stanley Cup in June of 2018.
Seems rather odd, doesn’t it? There are a precious few universally agreed upon notions in this crazy world we live in today.
