Also you point out the +/- of the defense around him well a Great goalie will improve your +/- so if the players around thomas had good +/- should that not also be a credit to Thomas in someways?<br />Pekka had a really good season and he is a good goalie who might be on the verge of being Great but this should be a one horse race period.<br /><br />Pekka did not even have the best sv pct win pct on his own team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
