  • That will be the only way Luongo gets the Vezina.

    • He'll get one. Has anyone been nominated three times for the Vezina and failed to get one?

          He's been beaten three times in a row by modern-era records. Speaks volumes.

          • Elite goaltenders set those records, Ben.

            Even Kiprusoff has done it. What's Luongo's excuse?

            He sets records, for what it's worth. The 4 goals against were by far the quickest in a SCF...

                • That's apparently just Bettman's rumoured personal proposal. That's why it's not news, and why I've not seen it covered in any major Canadian press.


                  OTTAWA - The NHL could be ready to make drastic changes with a major realignment for the 2012-13 season.

                  Two league executives told QMI Agency Wednesday that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman presented a proposal during Tuesday’s board of governors meetings in New York to scrap the current format used by the league.

                  Sources say under Bettman’s proposal, the league will have four divisions: Pacific, Midwest, East and South. It’s believed the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets would both get their wish to move to the East conference.

                  Changes need to be made with the Atlanta Thrashers’ move to Winnipeg now official. The two conferences and six divisions will be kept this year, but Bettman is pushing for a major change.

                  The realignment is by no means final. It’s still in the discussion stages.

                  Teams would play a balanced 82-game schedule with home-and-home against teams outside their division.

                  The top four teams in each division would make the playoffs. The first round would be divisonal play, the teams would then re-seed for conference play. Bettman’s idea would not affect a East-West Stanley Cup final matchup.

                  With 30 teams, one division in each conference will have eight squads while the other will have seven. Under the current format — two conferences and six divisions — division winners and the top five teams make the playoffs.

                  “Nobody is happy with the current format so I would expect something like this is going to be adopted,” said a league executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

                        It's a Sun Media story. 'nuff said.

                        Nothing at all about this from reputable news sites yet.

                        I'm not sure my thoughts on it yet, if they end up going ahead with this.

                            BTW, he wasn't even a close second, but a distant third:



                            What modern-era records did Rinne have?

                            Luongo only got 3 1st place votes.

                            • I'm sorry I can't hear you over the awesomeness of the Selke.

                              You're right. The Vezina is now the only major award that a Canuck has not won after that haul. That and the Byng.

                              No Flame has ever won the Hart Trophy. Canucks now have 2 Art Ross trophies.

                                And the Hart, surely?

                                Or is "that haul" being arbitrarily defined as N number of seasons, not this one?
