For me it's not even the numbers. It's the way he's looked in the playoffs.

Bad rebounds poor reads bad positioning. Of course some of that is a result of breakdowns in front of him but players notice when their goalie is struggling, or in the zone, and it can affect their play as well.
Uh-oh…Maybe he needs readers, trifocals or progressives?

The Hockey News’s goalie issue is out. Jets ranked number 8 in their goalie power rankings.

So nice to have a top 10 netminder :thumbu:
ESPN also just came out goalie tandem rankings and had the Jets 2nd behind NYR. Basically saying it is all about Helly and Comrie should be more comfortable in Winnipeg and give competent backup duty.

Yeah, man. I think #8 for the Jets is bait. I know Comrie is not all that and a bag of chips, but come on. They had the Oilers at #12 for Pete’s sake.
