Hellebuyck kept the Jets in it for game 4 but that’s not enough, the team in front of him was pretty poor.

He stank in game 3, game 4 he played well.
But those 3 goals, yesh
 
Too bad. I wanted Granlund as a stop gap C(even if he is more a winger now) so we don’t have to trade Willander or our first. Probably way too pricey now

I suppose there's a chance the Jets can recover from a 1-3 hole and move on. But unless Hellebucyk finds a way to exorcise his demons on the road, then it's unlikely.

I don't know what it is in the 'Peg, but they seem to shoot their bolt in the regular season. And when the intensity and speed gets ramped up in the playoffs, they can't find a way to match it.

Just goes to show the massive difference between the hockey you see in the regular season what we're seeing now as the playoffs inch towards the conference finals.

Maybe the Jets catch a lot of tired teams during the regular season, who finish in Winnipeg at the end of long road-trips. That's certainly the case with the Canucks, who always seem to hit the 'Peg at the tail-end of a five or six game road-trip.

But last year against the Av's and this year against the playoff-hardened Stars, they just seem a step behind.

The Jets have been playing well for the most part, but when Helle keeps letting in at least one big softie against an elite team with an elite goalie it's hard to fight back. What should've been 50-50 games have all been comfortable Stars wins because of it.

Not our Granlund

Of course not. Canucks aren't allowed to have nice things. No way we would get the good Granlund.

And boy oh boy is Hellebuyck letting in some questionable goals. Seems like the first Granlund goal has been scored on him a half dozen times this post-season. Goaltending can't win you a cup but it sure as hell can lose it for you.

  • 0.851 SV% through 11 games
  • less than 3 goals given up twice
  • more than 3 goals given up 4 times
  • 2 games with SV% over 0.900
  • 9 games under 0.900
  • 6 games under 0.850
  • 3 games under 0.800
Just wow.

Always remember, this franchise had a Kariya, Fedorov and Pronger in the early 2000's.

Also, Hellebuyck 's in that weird 2011-2014 MA Fleury loop where he could not stop shit and was a total sieve.

The issue is he's supposed to be their best player and MVP.

Even in games like where he wasn't terrible like yesterday, it's like "when are you going to step up and outduel your opponent/win us a game?"

Anyone saying Luongo arc is out to lunch. These numbers are worse than Dan Cloutier in 03 (86.8%), who completely threw that team's chance to go to the finals, by almost 2 points, and are down from his regular season numbers by 7.5 points, all with a president's trophy team in front of him.

I'm rooting for the Jets, and I feel awful for their fans.

my ideal result is if the leafs and oilers went to the finals and to a game 7 and then just before overtime they are both disqualified for heinous cheating after a special investigation by wes macauley and the runner up teams have to play a second finals to determine the real champions.
