What sample sizes am I trying to cherry pick? You said "if he shows up in the playoffs like he has the last few years there's no goalie I'd rather have," so I asked you how he performed in the playoffs last year, which includes 3 of his 4 playoffs series.
don't be salty lol Helle is unreal, super great for the Jets to have him. not as great as Edmonton getting McDavid of course but still amazing
You're cherry picking one playoff run where he wasn't as good and ignoring the one where he was great. I'm the one trying to include the whole set.What sample sizes am I trying to cherry pick?

If we want to expand the sample size to avoid cherry picking sample sizes, we can look at how he has performed in the regular season this year.
The way the team looked when Sutter came in as a coach, and after they traded for Carter.. they had a swagger to them. By no means did I expect them to win the cup but they certainly weren't a typical Cinderella 8th seed, especially backed by the best goalie in the league.
What makes Jack Eichel better than Scheifele? Toews, Pietro and Theo better than Morrissey?
The D men you have an argument for sure. But I don't think you'll find too many people taking Scheifele over Eichel
Let me reiterate.
I'm not sure what your argument is or what i'm supposed to say. If you take any players good games out of a sample size, and leave only their bad games, the player isn't going to look good.
Since 2020/21, Eichel has 161 points in 171 games for 0.94 PPG
It's probably because what you said didn't make any sense.
I would argue that injuries to Villardi and Connor as well as regression from Perfetti have made the Jets offence not near as potent as it could be. Add 2 30 goal scorers and a healthy Villardi and that's a deep lineup. Perfetti has 31 points and is very likely going to be the odd man out of that lineup.
So include the good ones. Oettinger has a career .911 Sv% in the playoffs. You'd rather have that than Hellebuyck's 0.917?
Jack Eichel playoffs: 26 points in 22 games
He had a few bad games in last years playoff that dragged his stats down. And even with those bad games, still identical to Hellebuyck.
... at least try to get the facts straight.
Who's picking sample sizes now?
So you're complaining that someone wants to take out his good games, but you want to ignore his bad games.
One could even say that every playoff series he has played since the Flames series has drastically dragged his career playoff save percentage down. And yet I suspect that you're looking at the Flames playoff series when saying that he shows up in the playoffs year after year.
It's their entire playoff careers. Nothing picked about that.
Schiefele has been that guy in the playoffs before. Connor can’t be that guy? Ehlers?
You could say whatever you want. Doesn't make it correct, but you can say it.
I mean the save% also says it, but if you wanna defer to my knowledge that works for me
No, what I said is definitely factually correct. That's what happens when your first playoff series is your best one, your second is your second best one, and your third and fourth are your worst ones by a wide margin. That's just how averages work.
Oettinger has had about the same Sv% on a much better team.
It’s all relative. The Jets are 3rd in the league in goal diff. Isn’t that the point of the game? Score more than your opponents.
To be perfectly honest I thought he had more than just a mop duty appearance prior to the Calgary series and that his sample size was slightly bigger than it is, my mistake there.
Gotcha. The supposed 2020 playoff series which was actually just spot duty is deceptive. I don't agree, I think Hellebuyck's series against Edmonton is the best either of them has done, but that's fine.
