TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MIKE VERNON
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, over 19 NHL seasons, established himself as one of the greatest goaltenders and pressure performers in league history.
Mike Vernon could invariable be counted upon to bring his best game when the stakes were the highest, and capitalized on his steel nerves to lead his team to two Stanley Cups and an additional two Finals appearances.
Winner of the 1996 Jennings Trophy (best team goals against average) and 1997 Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP), Vernon played in 5 All-Star Games and led the NHL in wins in 1998-89, being barely edged out in a hotly contested ballot for the Vezina Trophy with the legendary Patrick Roy. The two goalies also met in the Stanley Cup Finals that year, with Vernon emerging victorious,
Vernon retired among the all-time leaders in most notable goaltending categories, with 781 career games, 385 wins, 92 ties, 27 shutouts and 19,921 shots faced (17,726 saves). Even more impressive are his 138 playoff games and 77 playoff wins.
