Cool Vokoun Rockin' in Europe!

Jes says: "Personally, I would have given the award to Tomas Vokoun and his lovely 7-1 record with a sparking 1.08 GAA and 95.26 Save Percentage."


That shutout against Canada in the IIHF Worlds was pretty sweet too (Hope I don't get booted for that one ) Looks like he's still pulling his "Evel Knievel" stunts though...

Vokoun is one of the most underrated goaltenders, if not players in the NHL. Like many goaltenders, he was a late bloomer and he's another one of those late picks (drafted in the 9th round, 226 overall by Montreal in '94) who beat the odds.

All I can say is..Burke..you did it again! :bb: :wavetowel

For those who don't know, Vokoun was VERY close to becoming a Canuck..when he was backing up Dunham

It didn't happen, and the Canucks are still kicking themselves

Maybe Vokoun was just lucky, not to end up on the `Wheel of goalie misfourtune' (aka Canucks)

I was pretty worried when they traded Dunham even though he was in a slump at the time. Sometimes it's good to be wrong!
