Can Hellebuyck win the Hart Trophy?

[Channelcat]

If we were being objective, goalies would win it nearly every year. And that's why they generally don't vote for goalies for the Hart.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

He has a legit shot. Head and shoulders better than any other goalie numbers wise.

The season is only half over.

Yes...?

 

[robertocarlos]

No. The Jets with Comrie in net for 65 games would still make the playoffs.

 

[Skolman]

Yes he can. Lots of season to go, though. Currently between he and MacKinnon, IMO.

Mackinnon over Draisaitl?

That's quite comical

The season is only half over.

Then consider his wins ratio when his playing .
If he gets to 50 win and poor comrie cant buy a win for the team.

Thst is something amazing also.

That is most valuavle player right there.

And shutout va losr ratio
it keeps going

the under 2 is going to be very hard to do in this age.

Agree, under 2 by the end of the season is virtually imposable.
That said if he does achieve this, I think that would guarantee him the Hart.

If we can keep up his current pace for the rest of the season I would say he has a chance.

Theodore was pretty far ahead of everyone else and that Montreal team in front of him was pretty bad.

Price was also significantly ahead of the next closest guy, and put up one of the highest single season SV% at the absolute peak of league average SV%.

Hellebuyck's not very far ahead of Stolarz, although he's played more than twice as many games, so sample size alert.

Fun fact: Stolarz was the goalie the Jets were down in the NAHL watching back in 2011-12 when scout/Moose goalie coach Rick St. Croix flagged the opposing goalie as one they should be looking at (Hellebuyck's team won 2-1 in a shootout).

 

[Peter Puck]

When Price won the Habs scored 2.61 goals/game. The Jets are currently 3.60 goals/game. Price's gaa 1.96 is better than Hellebuyck's 1.99.

The year Theodore won the Habs scored 2.52 goals/game and still made the playoffs.

Both Theodore and Price were much more valuable to the Habs than Hellebuyck is to the Jets.

You have a point now, though i don't know how those reflect vs league average .

But If Helly breaks 50 wins and nobody has done it before i believe.
And the back up can't buy any wins for the Jets and
The team sits on top 2-3 league wide and even possibly president cup trophy winner.


I'm just being a homer and rooting for Helly to Win Pearson, Hart and Vezina. Fingers cross .

 

[Jets]

Hopefully if he keeps this up for the next couple of seasons he can pass Pavelec for the best Jets goalie in the 2.0 era

 

[Bender Duster]

He’s currently leading the league in wins, shots against, saves, GAA, shut outs and probably a bunch of other goalie stats. He’s got to be a front runner if that keeps up for the rest of the season.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

He is having a monster season:

Clearly that's a hacked NHL2K4 game, I wasn't born last week.
