Be nice to get a Quality Start out of our 3 time Vezina winning goalie. But his game is fundamentally broken and I don't think he has the time or ability to fix it at this point.
he's sucked every game outside of game 2Refs have gamed this series... subtle ways to hamstring our enforcers and enable the blues... everyone sees it
Helle just fkn sucked tonight... this game is 100% on him - how does he end up so far back in his net...
But a close second are stan and schenn... they have zero intimidation factor - schenn seems gassed or checked out
Everyone tried - lowry jomo and samberg are all clearly injured but playing well... not elite
To all the clowns that said 3rd pairing doesnt matter - just watch this series again...
Put barron at 1C - guy is better than copp

it's incredible how all he needs to be is average and were in the 2nd round alreadyBe nice to get a Quality Start out of our 3 time Vezina winning goalie. But his game is fundamentally broken and I don't think he has the time or ability to fix it at this point.
it was a close game until that 3rd goal... he 100% would have helped in the 1st half of the game55 wouldn’t have saved this bunch tonight.
The Schenn goal that blew the game open was actually defected.I blame the team in front of Helle. He let in maybe two that he could have had but three were full on screens.
I say this with zero sarcasm: if Comrie starts every game on the road, is this series over already?

One way or another we’ll be off this series roller coaster Sunday.
I remember game 5. So I feel more confident about this team at home.
people really need to start watching other games if they think helle is the only one facing screensAr this point I can't do that any longer. Every team is screening the goalies. Other goalies are able to fight through it and make the saves. This is well past that point with Helle well past it. His save percentage for three straight playoffs is so far below replacement level that it's utterly embarrassing.
No team is perfect defensively in the playoffs and there have been breakdowns but he's supposed to be the premier goalie in the league. He's paid to cover for his team and make enough of the difficult saves to give his team a chance. He hasn't done that in any game this series. That isn't to mention the absolute awful goals he's let in each game. His team has won him 3 games while he's been playing some truly awful hockey and they are likely going to have to win him game 7.
This team hasn't been perfect but they have shown more then enough battle and good play to win this series. We only have a chance to because of strong team play.
I hate to blame this on one player but you just can't win with that level of goaltending. The other teams that got it this post season have been all sent packing.
Not sure what you can do with Helle but his play isn't acceptable and I'm not sure how the team still has trust in him to come in and play well enough for them on Sunday.
Hey, boss. I’m just finishing frying up some eggs and then I’ll come back and read this but who do you start for Game 7? And how do you like your eggs? And what are your thoughts on blending the lines next game? Thank you in advance.Ar this point I can't do that any longer. Every team is screening the goalies.

He got banned from here? Ooof... the man spent years trashing Helle and just when the public opinion swung in his favor the man can't even come here and take an "I told you so" "victory lap".![]()
This is EXACTLY what I was saying before Game 4 last year. They needed to play Brossoit, since Helle was rattled, and the team was chaotic. When I found out Helle was not playing, I predicted the exact score, and was off by one goal in Game 5 - both Colorado wins.Last year I said Hellebuyck would have to prove he could raise his game in the playoffs, before the Colorado series. We know how that went, and when I suggested he should potentially be pulled/replaced by Brossoit for a game, it was not met with agreement.
Is he actually banned? Or just MIAI have seriously been thinking about this for the last 5 mins. Mods please unban @White Out 902.
