Who's the best goalie in the NHL?

[HabzSauce]

I don't think anyone in their right mind would take Ullmark over Helle/Sheshterkin, but I agree he should be on the list

This year it is Helle then the rest.
It is not even close.
Now come the POs????

Helle's playoffs are being overly criticized. His career Sv% is .911. Not great but not horrible, and it's been dragged down by a couple of bad series against Vegas and Colorado when the entire team forgot to play defence. He's also had playoff years of .931 and .922.

 

[Bouboumaster]

It's hard to argue against Hellebuyck right now

He must prove himself in the playoffs tho

 

[Adam da bomb]

Ok cool go argue with someone else then. I have no bone in this fight just giving my opinion. My opinion on playoff performance can be backed by numbers tho so not sure why you chose to ignore that part of my argument ?


Lol ok forgive me let me try again

2021/2022
Sheshterkin - 1st
Helle - 8th

2022/2023 (wash)
Helle - 4th
Sheshterkin - 5th

2023/2024
Helle - 1st
Sheshterkin - 12th

2024/2025 (wash)
Helle - 2nd
Sheshterkin - 3rd

What am I missing here? Here's playoffs too:

2020/2021
Helle - 3rd
Sheshterkin - DNQ

2021/2022
Sheshterkin - 1st
Helle - DNQ

2022/2023
Sheshterkin - 2nd
Helle - 23rd

2023/2024
Sheshterkin - 2nd
Helle - 27th (dead last)

I’m sorry I don’t follow your math. How is 1 and 2 a wash? How is 2 and 3 a wash? One seems to be lower and the other higher.

I'd take Shesty due to his awesome playoff stats, but no doubt Helle has been cooking this year, we'll see what he does come playoff time though.

For me they are A1/A2 and then everybody else on that list.

Yea its like player A finishing with 55 goals while player B finishes with 53 goals. Essentially a wash when we're trying to discuss who is the better player

I don’t know if I agree with your logic. If mcdavid wins the Ross by 2 points I don’t care how many goals or points the other guy got because Mcdavid won. The rest becomes a footmark to either be forgotten in history.
To follow your example the player with 55 points won and no one will remember how close it is.
I also don’t see where you get Shest number 2 for this season. He has half the shut outs and all his other stats are lower and there are quite a few goalies in between.
I could see the argument Helly is better in regular season and Shest in playoffs. Then if Helly leads his team deep or shesty puts up big regular seasons that may change in the future.

Suprised this isn't way closer between Shesterkin, Hellebuyck & Jarry
