Whenever the NHL announces nominees for one of its bigger awards, there's always some debate about whether or not voters got it right.

Unless we're talking about the Ted Lindsay Award for "most outstanding player" as voted by NHLPA members. They usually get that right.

But this year's list of Vezina finalists — Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin, Bruins backstopper Jeremy Swayman and Tampa's Andrei Vasilevskiy — just seems.... off.

Congrats to each of those guys, and I think there are arguments on each one's behalf, but there are some players who feel like glaring omissions.

I mean, sure, you have to consider a full body of work, but Sorokin with a .906 save percentage on a team that whiffed on the playoffs and a 29-24-2 record?

Swayman with a slightly better save percentage and a worse GAA?

I'd probably say Vasilevskiy is my pick to win, but we've got to address a few snubs.

Before you say, "Oh, here goes very handsome and funny Matt pumping his Flyers' tires again," hear me out.

If you ask me — and a lot of people — there's no way that the Flyers get past the Penguins or even get into the playoffs had it not been for Vladar.

He signed with the Broad Street Bullies over the summer in a move by GM Danny Briere that seemed fairly unremarkable. He’d been a backup in Calgary with pretty average numbers, though
