Sorry, since he stunk in the play offs two years ago.
Saving percentage of 0.922 = stunk?

Good thing I put a period!Well, I had to stop reading your post after the first sentence, too.
Even when Hellebuyck is good, he doesn't particularly look so. So when he is bad, he looks really bad. He doesn't really have the acrobatic big saves in him, so when his fundamentals are lacking, he just looks slow, clumsy and downright bad. When he plays well, he's super calm and seemingly doesn't have to do much.
Helly will surprise people....again. He needs the competition. I’m glad coach is playing that card and so he should be. Complacency is no good. Make the goalies earn their starts, it’s whats best for both of them and the team. He responds well this year is my bet.
There were quite a few flurries of Grade A chances by the Wild down low. They had the Jets hemmed in a lot until that 4v4 broke the game open. Very good game by Hellebuyck.Helle was solid tonight, not many difficult saves but very solid. Well done
Two Vezina-calibre games in a row according to the Hellebuyck Tracker Machine.There were quite a few flurries of Grade A chances by the Wild down low. They had the Jets hemmed in a lot until that 4v4 broke the game open. Very good game by Hellebuyck.
I don't think anyone is expecting Helly to get the next 77 starts. I think a target of 55-60 games seems about right.Brossoit needs to keep getting the odd start to push Helley. It's obvious he can't motivate himself and needs extrinsic motivation.
He means more than that to let Helle know Brossoit is knocking at the door if he doesn't perform.I don't think anyone is expecting Helly to get the next 77 starts. I think a target of 55-60 games seems about right.

I'm just happy with his play the last 2 games. I try not to get too involved in the goalie debate. I really like Brossoit and see him as the best backup we have ever had. If this pushes Helly to be better great. I'd be fine with a 50-32 split but I'm also okay 60-22 if we get strong goaltending along the way. 55 - 27 seems like a nice 2-1 split that should keep Helly fresh.i think the range should be 50-55, I don't see a good reason to play Brossoit only 22 games. Keep Hellebuyck fresh and motivated. It's also super early to declare this guy a Vezina candidate, so lets see how things progress
And a guy who is making big money , i expect exactly the type of goaltending he gave us last night . The type of goaltending that gives us a chance to win every game .Last night is what I expect from the stud Hellebuyck we drafted
Competition is good
Wow PAVS suckedOn the opposite end of the spectrum, we had Pavelec, who made aerobic saves and flopped around like a fish on dry land.
Careers with the Jets organization:
Hellebuyck: 118-65-17, 2.66 GAA, 0.915%
Pavelec: 152-158-47, 2.87 GAA, 0.907%
He looked good last night. That's not saying anything about future but I think that's a good showing if he wants to get back to the form from the WCF run.[/QUOTE/] yep one game at a time.

Such a very true post here. Helle needs to be pushed with some competition --just like when Mason was here, and he pushed Helle for his job, and Helle responded. I like the way Brossoit plays, and hope Maurice uses Brossoit, not only as a great backup, but someone that can push Helle, and get the best out of him.
