2012 NHL Awards: Will Jonathan Quick Become “Vezina Smythe”?

During the playoff series against Phoenix, noted quipster Dustin Penner revealed that Jonathan Quick’s nickname was “Vezina Smythe.” One half of that prediction has already come true — will the rest fall into place tonight?

That all depends on the GMs who vote for the award. Both he and Lundqvist had standout seasons. Common speculation is that East Coast favoritism will come into play.

Dustin Brown is also up for the Mark Messier Leadership Award, along with Ryan Callahan and Shane Doan. I don’t know about you, but I’m waiting for the camera to cut to Doan’s face if Brown wins.

Poke fun at the ceremony, and tell me who you would have chosen for the winners.

Will Jonathan Quick take home the Vezina?

Yep 13
Nope (baaaah) 22
He already has the best bleepin’ trophy there is 65
