Везина Трофи у Бобровского.
Голкипер «Колумбус Блю Джекетс» Сергей Бобровский стал первым
российским вратарем выигравшим Везину Трофи лучшему голкиперу НХЛ
сезона 2012-13 гг. По ходу чемпионата Бобровский одержал 21 победу
(+21-11-6), пропуская по 2.00 шайбы за игру и отражая по 93.2% бросков
соперников. Благодаря его надежной игре «Блю Джекетс» совершили
феноменальный рывок во второй половине сезоне и им не хватило всего
одного очка, чтобы пробиться в плэй-офф.
Везина Трофи присуждается голосованием генеральных менеджеров клубов
НХЛ и из 30 бюллетеней, в 17-ти Бобровский был назван первым. В итоге
Сергей получил 110 баллов, намного обойдя занявшего второе место
Генрика Ландквиста из «НЙ Рэйндежрс» (55) и Антии Ниеми из «Сан Хосе»
(46). Также получили голоса Крэйг Андерсон («Оттава», 22 очка), Туука
Раск («Бостон», 12), Джимми Хоуард («Детройт», 9), Рэй Эмери («Чикаго»,
6), Кори Крауфорд («Чикаго», 5), Йонас Хиллер («Анахеем», 3), Никлас
Бэкстрём («Миннесота», 1), Кори Прайс («Монреаль», 1).
Former Flyer Bobrovsky wins Vezina as top goalie // Tribune Business News [Washington]
Carchidi, Sam. McClatchy - 16 June 2013.
June 16--So it turns out the Flyers can produce the league's best goaltender.
He just happens to play for another team.
Bobrovsky, now with Columbus after cutting his teeth with the Flyers,
won the Vezina Trophy in a landslide Saturday; the award, voted upon by
general managers, is given to the NHL's top goalie.
"Bob" received 17 first-place votes, eight seconds and a third. He
totaled 110 points, doubling the total of the Rangers' Henrik
Lundqvist, who finished second with 55 points.
The 24-year-old Russian goalie also finished fifth in the MVP voting.
In other words, the Flyers' impatience turned into gold for the Blue Jackets.
Bobrovsky was 21-11-6 with a 2.00 goals-against average and .932 save
percentage last season. He kept Columbus in playoff contention until
the final moments of the season.
He became the youngest player to win the Vezina since the Capitals' Jim Carey, 22, in 1996.
The Flyers sent Bobrovsky to Columbus for second- (promising goalie
Anthony Stolarz) and fourth-round (left winger Taylor Leier) selections
in the 2012 draft. They also acquired a fourth-rounder in the 2013
draft.
Bobrovsky had a terrific rookie year (28-13-8, 2.59, .915) with the
Flyers in 2010-11, but coach Peter Laviolette grew impatient with him
as he struggled in the playoffs that season. The Flyers then added Ilya
Bryzgalov after the season, and Bobrovsky was not comfortable in a
backup role in 2011-12 and GM Paul Holmgren traded him to the Jackets.
"I didn't know a lot about Sergei before we acquired him," Blue Jackets
coach Todd Richards told the Columbus Dispatch. "But after the trade
was out at the draft, Peter Laviolette tapped me on the shoulder and
wanted to talk. He just went on about Sergei Bobrovsky: 'You're going
to love this guy. He competes. He works. He'll help drive your team.
He's a great kid.' That got me excited, and he was absolutely right on
all of it."
The irony of all this, of course, is that there could be a happy ending
for the Flyers, too, because Bobrovsky's strong play made goalie Steve
Mason expendable -- and he excelled in a late-season stint after being
dealt to Philadelphia. |
