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.
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.
