Player Discussion: Connor Hellebuyck

[Ducky10]

This was Hellebuyck folding under pressure.

One of the worst games I have ever seen him play and he should be embarrassed.

Folding under pressure? In a regular season game in early January?

Come on man, your hot takes are getting into wet campfire territory, lol.

He had a shit game, nothing else to see.

 

[Ducky10]

Price has sucked for extended periods of time before, people know that, right?

In his 5th season (the same season Helle is currently in), he posted...... .916...…...wait a minute!!
Followed that up with a .905 gem, then went on a 4 year tear before forgetting how to play goal and posting a .900, bounced back the following year and is currently terrible.

He's a career .917 ffs.

I wouldn't say he 's folding under pressure either, but this was not Helly having a shit game, more like a shit 3 weeks..

Fact is, the Jets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league and you should expect these results regardless of who's in net. When only two teams have a higher xGA/60 than you and both are lottery teams, you shouldn't expect to have success. The trend of selling out for offense lately is a selfish brand of hockey.

To have the lowest quality chances in the NHL buoyed by high shooting and giving up some of the best quality chances in the league is not how to play hockey.

He had a bad game last night, that's what is being referenced. Yeah, he's in a slump, shall we post his numbers prior to Dec 10? If this latest 10 game sample continues for another 10, then I'm worried...….but I'm not worried about that.

Toronto made him collapse like a cheap lawn chair.

He was too rattled to even do a post game interview to address his f***ing pathetic play in net.

We need a "WTF?" button, beside the like button.

He doesn't need to do an interview.

He's the team MVP this season.

Helly will bounce back

The last player that gets rattled on this team is Helly ..

He actually is over confident

So overly confident that I would consider him arrogant and possibly delusional at times.

Despite his slump, Hellebuyck is still second in GAR in NHL for goalies. (note: today's game not accounted for)

 

[objectiveposter]

Its time for Brossoit to get a handful of starts to light a fire under helles ass again. He is coasting right now. The return of chill helle.

Great post Puckatron -- and how about a thumbs down button as well as a WTF button. Both new buttons would be well used.

So for the record you are blaming those goals today on Helly?

Good to see your post Objectiveposter -- I wasn't about to make any conclusions on what the Jets should do til I saw what you suggested. You haven't been around lately, and this is also one of the reasons, why the Jet's are slipping.

We need someone to tell it like it is, and keep this guys in line. Welcome back --your posts are needed !!!

I do agree -- Helle plays better with someone pressing him for start time. Get Brossoit in, as he was great last year, and maybe he'll get hot again, and send a little message to Helle.

As much as I love “good” Helly, he is still at times overconfident, and his sallies behind the net leave me wondering if he has tried to emulate Berdin’s mercurial style, perhaps secretly afraid that his “just be square to the puck, big and position ally sound” is not always enough?
At any rate he will gain confidence in just standing tall and coming forward oud of the blue paint as time goes on..Competition with Brossoit is probably not something he even thinks of, given. Maurice’s habit of playing him after losses.
A lot of his problems are more in this than AHL defense IMHO. Still, he is still and can be a Vezina-capable goalie. I think he needs more confidence in his own style, as he has humor ously called it “big and boring”. Kudos to Helly for not being ashamed of that, and here’s hoping he takes that to the playoffs, tank threads and team standings aside.

Helle can only do so much. Look at game heat maps and HDCA.

Yep. You’re only gonna save so many of those chances. Things have been regressing to the mean lately although I think the pendulum swings the other way again at some point.
