Observations?
- Blocked Shots is the only stat consistently trending down, none of the stats consistently trend up.
- “Hits” and “Takeaways” seem to be negatively inverse, as one will decrease as one increases, and vice versa.
- “Hits” and “Giveaways” seem to be inversely mirroring one another, both rising and dipping similarly.
- Last season, the LAK had the highest rate of Hits, Faceoff Wins, & Giveaways of any Championship postseason since 2009. However, they also had the lowest rates of Blocked Shots and Takeaways.

Henrik Lundqvist had the most Vezina voting in his 1st, 7th, or 8th full NHL season than either 3 Hall-of-Famer goalies. In fact, his 2012 Vezina Award was won at 80% (four-fifths of all votes), making it the most lopsided Vezina vote in NHL history!
Of all the top NHL goaltenders to play since the 2004-05 lockout, Lundqvist stands out in terms of consistency & quality. Unlike Luongo, Rinne, Miller, Quick, Fleury or Price... Lundqvist has yet to have a below-average NHL season compared to league-average statistics.
