Player Discussion: 2023 Vezina Finalist Connor Hellebuyck

Also its likely he finishes the season as the leader in every single goaltending category which has never been done in the history of the league.

If you’re referring to Wins/S%/GAA/SO, others have done it, including Plante, Parent, and Dryden.

But it’s been a while and is an impressive feat.

And didn't they all win the cup the year they did it?

I thought I read that

According to the Jets Media Game Day Notes, Helle would be only the 2nd goalie since 85-86 to lead the league in the 4 major goalie stats.

The goalie you're thinking of who was the last to lead the league in all 4 stat categories...nope, you're wrong. It is none other than the legend (and possibly Lowe Farm resident) Bob Froese.

This is clipped before the Dallas game, so Helles stats are one day outdated here.

These are the top 10 goalie stats from the '85-86 season. Vanbiesbrouck won the Vezina that sseason.

Looks like they did - nice bit of trivia and hopefully the trend continues!

Edit: Froese obviously didn’t

CONNOR HELLEBUYCK his case to win the HART TROPHY :

Connor Hellebuyck is the most valuable player to his team.
He’s carrying the Winnipeg Jets to the top of the Western Conference and LEAGUE with league-leading goalie stats:
Most wins (45)
Best GAA (1.99)
Best SV% (.929)
Most shutouts (8)
Top GSAx (28.2)


None of the top forwards have carried their team defensively and won as many games singlehandedly. Hellebuyck doesn’t just stop pucks—he steals games and defines team success.


NOTE: there might be some error adjustments, i tried my best to present it as accurate as i can, feel free to correct me to update... thank you in advance. GO JETS GO

Hellebuyck will win the Hart. Wouldn't be surprised at the Lindsay. And the Vezina obviously isn't even a discussion.

 

[buggs]

I'm waiting on the Conn Smythe.

 

[UFO]

More importantly, he should win the stanley cup this year.

 

[PhilJets]

Helly has to show up big time for this playoffs

but so do

Connor and Ehlers first and foremost

Schiefele Lowry and Morrissey

and we hope the new bloods step up or one of them have a playoff to remember.

Perfetti Samberg

then great defensive plays from the rest of the group with timely and support goals.

Iaffallo and Barron hopefully with some support goals.

I'm including all of the all categorie. Like GP, GSAA, GSAE, Adj GA, GPS. Even those guys didn't lead in every single category including the newer stats. Though we don't have all the data for older goalies but I couldn't find a single season where a goalie led in literally everything. Though he isn't leading in some of the raw stats like shots against and pure saves.
