You didn’t read the non sense he wrote. “If he shows up” and puts up a .929% then there is no other goalie in the league he would want. I’m sure we can say that if any goaltender puts up the .929% that’s probably the goaltender I would want. But he only wants that goalie of his name is Ottenger.

I mean if he's not a strong defensive dman he must be pretty bad then, cuz his puck moving and offense is well below average. My apologies, didn't know he was a below average dman.
I hate to break it to you but save percentage doesn't tell the whole story. Not all shots on net are equal.
Didn’t say top 10. Implied that he’s well above average defensively, and if he isn’t then yikes he’s pretty average all around then because he’s very limited offensively to begin with outside of the simple outlet pass. If he’s a Brendon Dillon level player then his reputation is definitely undeserved.
If we’re talking who you’d take for a series today, I think you’d be crazy not to take the guy who’s in Vezina form vs the guy who’s basically been average.
I read posts about the Jets having no superstars compared to other contending teams, other than Helly of course. Morrissey finished 5th in Norris voting last season. He was voted as the 9th best defensemen in the NHL by executives and players in a recent poll ahead to players like Pietreangelo and Theodore who he would supposedly play behind in Vegas.
The 10 best defensemen in the NHL for 2023-24
Where do the high-scoring Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes land? What about "defensive defenseman" Jaccob Slavin? Here's how those in the NHL see it.www.espn.com
He has a good chance of finishing in the top-10 in Norris voting this year. There are nearly 200 nhl defensemen. If you are considered top-10 in the world at your position you are a superstar - end of discussion.
Salty? Simply responding to the Winnipeg Hellebuycks comment from an Oilers fan. If any team knows anything about one player carrying their team its Oil fans so I just found the comment somewhat ironic and replied as such.
I'd say the best team defence since they have been back in the league.
Please don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative. Any Winnipeg fan knows just how good Josh is and most other fanbases couldn't be bothered to watch the Jets play. It should come as no surprise he is vastly underrated. Oh well….I read posts about the Jets having no superstars compared to other contending teams, other than Helly of course.

not exactly massive. That is 7 more goals saved per 1000 shots. They have faced approximately 2000 shots this season. Equates to 14 more goals saved over 69 games or 1 extra less goal allowed every 5 games than the next closest team.
Agree The Preds could be the sleeper team in the POs. As for the Jets even if they win the central they will play either the Preds or VGK. This may be the best version of the Jets since they returned to the league but there will be no easy series for them. I believe they are good enough to win a cup if they play within Bowness system. That said, the good teams they meet right off the bat could easily mean another 1st round exit.
