Connor Hellebuyck - Worst Playoff Goalie in NHL history

[BoHorvat 53]

Regular season merchant.

Going to be a travesty if he wins the Hart, the MVP of the league can't turn into a total bum in the playoffs.

 

[ijuka]

Didn't think someone would manage a worse performance than Stuart Skinner.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

I call igor overrated but at least he shows up in the post season

 

[Turin]

Basically unplayable in the post season. Jets need a backup they are confident in replacing him with when things get bad

 

[Bobby Ryan Getzlaf]

It’s actually pretty amazing how bad he looks in the playoffs versus the regular season.

 

[Mrb1p]

The Hart will never recover from this. Its a Mickey Mouse award, just the fact he got a nomination tells us all we need to know about the legitimacy of this award.

Really the only award that has any credence is the Lester/Lindsay.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

It is really embarrassing how bad he is, like it's not even just a downgrade in performance its a straight up collapse.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Bryzgolov or Luongo say hello.

 

[David Suzuki]

I was told he was better than Price.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It’s like he completely loses focus

If anything its that "advanced stats" are a f***ing farce that they show Hellebuyck, a system goalie, as that much better than everyone else

Hellebuyck wishes he was that good

 

[Mr Kot]

At some point, you just have to say "f*** it" and put someone else in. He has a pretty extensive history of just not doing well in the playoffs now.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

as a neutral i am embrassed

 

[Sendhelp2Anaheim]

I see the jets could use

John Gibson

 

[potatowejj]

He's basically got the yips, this is ridiculous to watch.

During the regular season he is saving more pucks than everylne else so the stats are correct- during these last 3 playoffs he is giving up way more goals than he does in regular season and the advanced stats are saying he is totally sucking.

Dont get how this disproves advance stats. All this shows is helly is a choker and after the golden knights got to him, it got in his head and how he cant stop choking in the playoffs.

Jets play with playoff intensity in the regular season, lack an extra gear come playoff time.

Hellebuyck's constant rebounds here we makes an easy save juice up his fancy stats

 

[NVious]

He should go to Edmonton, he's getting 4-5 goals support every night and he just needs to be better than two AHL guys.

 

[McShogun99]

It’s pretty amazing actually. The Jets should just play Comrie at this point.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I predict he’s going to have two good games and the Jets win the series 4-2 and this thread will be one very quiet

Ye of way too much faith...

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Goalies are voodoo but this is different. What the f*** is wrong with him in the playoffs?

Nothing is wrong with him in the playoffs, he's just not that good and a system goaltender.

The real thing that is wrong is the perception of Connor Hellebuyck.

Yeah but if this is the case I’d still expect atleast mediocre NHL goaltending… if he’s just getting exposed this is next level

 

[thegoldenyear]

And yet, the all-knowing History of Hockey board placed this guy #22 on the all-time goalie list last year...before this current regular season was taken into account.

#31 Grant Fuhr
#27 Bill Smith
#22 Connor Hellebuyck
