Talk about not showing up in the playoffs after a likely Vezina winning regular season.

Or have the Avs put 20 goals past the best goaltender in the league?

Don't forget, Colorado made Vasey look like a damn fool in the finals less than two years ago. They're one of the best scoring teams in the league.

He's honestly been fine for the most part, it's just that going up against the #1 offense in the league behind that Jets defense isn't going to do any goalie any favors.

I don't like Hellebucyk has been the problem. He's been the best player on the Jets.

Allowing 30 shots in the first two periods is a recipe for failure even if you have prime Patrick Roy in net.

I don't know if I'd go as far as "damned fool", most of those game were tight

Helle is far worse, but playoff avs can be an offensive juggernaut, so there is that too.

Wtf happened to the Jets defense, wasn’t it the best in the NHL?

...which happens to be the #1 defense of the regular season.

I remember just a few months ago saying Hellebuyck was overrated and I'd take Otter over him in the playoffs...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Wasn't his fault tonight, so it's kind of weird to make this thread.

Goaltender stats don't mean shit and people should stop using them to determine who's good or not. Hellebuyck is a good Goaltender.

What he is not is some kind of elite HOFer.

Eh.....

This can be talked about in the series thread.
