The Vezina trophy winner will be someone who made 2006 the career year for them.  The goaltender who under the new rules kept that goals against average hovering around 2.09.

The predictions can be narrowed to two choices, Henrik Lundqvuist of the New York Rangers and Manny Legace from the Detroit Red WIngs. 

Things that Henrik Lundqvuist has going for him-

.He is working hard for the Rangers team that has offensively the resurrected powerhouse Jaromir Jagr.  As Henrik keeps working to keep the puck out of his net and ending up on Fox Sports Net highlight shows Jaromir Jagr is more inspired to score. 

.The team Sweden gold medal from Torino Olympics.

Things Manny Legace has going for him-

.He is having so much fun.  While confidently leading his team and protecting the net of his team.  He is flourishing this season.  At the beginning of October to the end of that month he was the best goalie in the league.  He set a new NHL record for most wins in the month of October with 10.  Now he is still one of the respected goaltenders in the league.  When the Red Wings began training camp he faced alot of scrutiny from the press and  fans.  All the while Mike Babcock was consistently saying, "The number spot in net is his to lose."  It can be said Manny is all the stronger for playing through the criticism.  Now as people know Red Wings fans have the reputation for being rough on goalies. Because fans expect the net minder to be Terry Sawchuk. Manny will keep playing.  He has not had to face any fans harshness from the stands this year. His goal against average is 2.09 at one point this season it was 1.99.

.A sentence about the team defense of Detroit.  The team is inspired by Manny Legace.  

.For both Henrik Lundqvuist and Manny Legace it will come down to post season and at the end of it who has the best post season goals against average.

The Vezina Trophy goes to.....?
