Game 7 Goalie - Hellebuyck or Stu Skinner?

[paulmm3]

Game 7 and you only get one goalie. Who do you go with?

 

[BlackAdam]

Skinner gave up 2 goals in 60 min last game 7.
Hellebucyk gave up 2 in a period

Skinner has steamed a good ham from time to time in clutch situations

Hellebuyck has literally sucked every playoff game the past few years it seems like lol

 

[La Bamba]

Given their cap hits, it's laughable how this is a legit question too

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Skinner gave up 2 goals in 60 min last game 7.
Hellebucyk gave up 2 in a period

Hellebuyck gave up two on the first four shots tonight.

Hellebuyck. Hire the best hypnotist you can find and try to convince him it's a regular season game in November. Change all the calendars in the dressing room, have everybody on the team go along with it.

The Empty net needs to be an option on this pole.

 

[Albatros]

Skinner is a replacement level starter at best, Hellebuyck has at least the ability for more if he can keep his shit together. A big if I know.

Hellebuyck.

He's the better goalie, and you go with him. Don't over think it.

Maybe if Skinner was a weaker goalie but some uber guru come playoff time, you pick him. But - they both struggle in playoffs, and so you go with the better goalie.

Helebyuck.

I know he's been terrible in playoff games. But he's unquestionably the better goalie. Even when he's terrible, Helle's not that much worse than Skinner. Skinner gives you no upside, and no hope for a quality performance.

I'll take the dud that just might figure it out and play great. No thanks to the dud that has no chance to even be average.

Hellebuyck at least is capable of playing well.

 

[Pucklington]

This is the game Skinner always seems to play well.

I would take Hellebuyck the other 364 days. Could he be in the bench... just in case?

[Painful Quandary]

I think Hellebuyck would be a lot better in the playoffs if he had a lighter workload in the regular season. That was the problem with Bobvrovsky when he was with Columbus back when he had the "choker" label; the last few seasons he has been good for Florida in the playoffs now that he plays 5 to 10 fewer games during the regular season.

Calvin Pickard!

 

[Slats432]

Where's the neither button?

 

[Cup Or Bust]

Get real to anyone picking Skinner.

Can't believe people are voting for Stuart
