Of course it will be Helly. It is only a question because someone made up a thread. I’ll guarantee it is not a question for Arniel or the organization. Helly hasn’t been great but he is still 3-0 at home this series. You just have to trust Helly finds his game, because there is no chance we go past tomorrow unless he does.
I agree, and it'll certainly be Helly, but I'd also suggest he's looked very shaky in the home games. It's a miracle we're still in this.
 
Strange.

Comrie has played in 3 playoff games, with the exact same players and system. His stats:

1.40 GAA (1st)
0.923 saving % (2nd)

That doesn't seen like 10 goals a game to me...

Stop trolling or posting rage bait. He’s faced 13 shots in 43 total minutes. We can probably pick at least two or three of those same segments with Helly and get the same or better numbers.

This is the consensus around the league. It's too bad many here refuse to see the forest from the trees. We put Helly in for Game 7, we lose. Period.

Kinda hard to take your posts like this seriously after your last thread.

"We put Helly in for game 7, we lose. Period" doesn't hit the same after your assurances that there was 0 chance the Jets could ever win game 5.

Ngl I’ve kinda enjoyed how you’ve gone from “we lose 6-2”, to “we probably lose”, back to “we lose” in the span of a few hours.

Tell me though, when Helle gets announced as the Game 7 starter are you throwing down your life savings on Blues at +135?

The Jets were lucky to win Game 5. The way Hellebuyck has been playing, I was certain the Blues would win 4 in a row.
 
I have given up on the Jets Hellebuyck thread. Too many homers. If White Out were here, he would certainly give you an earful. At any rate, I will be on the main forums.
Gotcha.

Thanks for confirming that you’re talking out your ass and can’t actually stand behind your assertion that the Jets will lose if they start Hellebuyck. Carry on!
 
When something isn’t working you change it. Not a hockey thing, but a life thing. What do we have to lose? I would dump #5 and #37. We can do better.

First Comrie is not the solution for game 7.

Second if we don’t start Helly, lets also expect he will be traded sooner than later. The ripple effect on the team long term needs to be in consideration.
The expectation for HELLY ( because of how good he is and we are not seeing it — yet) to deliver is understandable. No Helly ? We are all talking now mid range pick and lottery pick few weeks back.

Mostly - we just don’t turn are back on our guys that is specially the MVP of the team and possibly the MVP of the regular season.


What we should do is , im sorry im not in the arena. BUT AS SOON AS THE Team comes out!!! ROCK THE WHOLE PLACE DOWN. Jets have never played a game 7 before in our barn.
THEN CHEER AN EXTRA ONE FOR HELLY, he needs it now… Lets celebrate the accomplishments

The guy does so many things for the city and the team… beyond the on ice production. Which he has been spectacular throughout his career.

I am not happy with Helly’s performance he could have been better sure…. on these road games. But the whole team has not shown also they are the best team in the league as well.

Helly is the straw that stirs the drink. We see what happens if he is not on top of his game. The rest of our team crumbles.

HE IS OUR MVP LETS CHEER him on for game 7 and the whole JETS TEAM!!! its one of a kind season to remember.

Ok, now im gonna watch who we play next round. HOPEFULLY IT GOES OT, that is what hockey is about


GO JETS GO
 
the crazy hyperbole doesn't help your argument, just makes you seem ridiculous tbh
I don't know what we can call hyperbole when he has the sv% he does again.

The decision to go with Comrie is more than just a game 7 decision... that's just reality. Not sure its worth blowing up a relationship with our franchise goalie over. On the other hand, maybe it's the one thing that would wake him up for a full 60 mins. I dont know.

The skill gap between Hellebuyck and Comrie is substantial. If you've been watching the games, Hellebuyck looks like his regular self when the Jets are playing to their system. As soon as momentum shifts and Jets can't clear the front of the net, defend the slot, or cleanly exit our zone, that's when the goals pile on. He's had a couple bad goals against, but most GA are from a systematic collapse.

Vegas is a good example of a team that excels because their system. When we've played them in the playoffs, they keep the slot clear, they win board battles and keep their opposition to the perimeter, limiting high danger chances. It's how the Jets won during the regular season and one of the reasons why Jets goalies post good stats. If you need proof, compare Comrie's stats over the last 5 years, it's inflated from playing in the Jets team defensive system. A collapsing system where the team defense comes unraveled with Comrie in net wouldn't yield us a better result than Games 3,4, or 6.

The problem is with the heightened energy, momentum shifts, physicality, and tenacity of the playoffs. The Jets skaters start to crack and it's open season for high danger chances and berserking Hellebuyck.

This could also be applied to Helly himself. Do something different. But in the same token, the grass ain’t always greener.

What do we have to lose? Uhh the game? lol

But I go back to what my original post. I have no idea who we “should” start. But Helly will almost certainly start.

Not arguing with you just stating my experience in social media as i do have many followers in FB and Tiktok :) not super many but enough 😄

Most of the consensus are trolls and click baits. DRAMA. gets you click. Those same posters ? If Helly and the Jets wins , bet you will post, after a day. Helly the saviours comes through….

THE best team blocks out the noise
so do the best players.

our Jets need to block out the noise.
If you are the person and you read it, it can eat on you little by little.

JETS AND HELLY needs to prove now they are the best of the League for a reason.

1 Game in our barn!!!

GO JETS GO

It looks like that. Doing the same old thing usually results in the same old results. Hopefully this will be the exception. Not likely though.
