Jets Conn Smythe Candidate Poll (rd1)

[Sweech]

Voting for Buff. He's basically set the tone for the team so far.

 

[Daximus]

It's Helle. Even his bad game I don't blame on him. The team didn't show up to play that night and screened him bad on at least 3 of the goals. The Staal goal he should have had but you don't grab two shutouts in a series and not walk away the series MVP.

 

[KingBogo]

Went Helly at #1 and then IMO a dead heat between Scheif and Buff at #2.

 

[Jeti]

Wanted to vote Buff but couldn't ignore Helle getting consecutive shutouts to close out the series.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

It's really tough for me to just pick one. Way too many qualified players.

However, if I had to pick just one, I'd pick Helle.

 

[Eyeseeing]

To me Everyone has been pretty good.
But the clear cut leader for me is Hellebuyck

Hellebuyck wasn’t busy game 1 or 2
We dominated Minnesota on SOG
Hellebuyck had an unusual bad game in Minnesota
Buff has been very good every game
Buff gets my vote

 

[Whileee]

Add Lowry and Copp. I'm sorta serious...

 

[Shazzam]

Hard not to go with Helle at this point. I know he wasn't terribly busy, but he made a number of difficult saves at key moments. I think the fact that he makes them look easy and routine works against him.

Can’t go wrong either way
That’s when you know you are doing ok

 

[DRW204]

Buff or Helle. I am gonna do with Buff though. I am betting some Wild players are glad this series is over and not having to deal with getting crushed by #33 anymore. Tied for 1st on the team in points and averaged 25 mins+/night (nearly 3 more mins than the next player). There is not a single player that provides the combination of skills and characteristics that Buff does to this team on the back-end. Helle was awesome, can't scoff at back to back SOs, but I dont think he was terribly busy. We played pretty sound defensively and limited SCA i feel

 

[MardyBum]

Buff or Helle atm. Good Buff has been outrageous these playoffs

 

[one other person]

Dagnabit I want to change my vote to Buff. A real difference maker and game changer

Then I'd want to re-change my vote back to Hell E. Buck. His first name is Hell which is pretty cool. And he has a middle initial, also cool. Very steady, gives the team confidence. Crazy eyes too.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Hellebuyck, Buff, Morrissey, Scheifele, in that order. So far. I hope there is a long way to go.

 

[jetsforever]

I'll say Buff so far
Helle's close, and I expect Scheif/Wheels will be up there by the end of Round 2

 

[winnipegger]

Poll is pretty accurate imo

1 poster thinks Laine was mvp I wonder how Finnish this individual is

 

[pictman]

I vote for Huffy.I really can' pick between Buff and Helly. Two and almost 3 shutouts for Helly.Some absolute game changing timely saves.But Buff is also in there.When he plays under control he is such a game changer.I really don't think there is anyone in the league like him.

 

[10Ducky10]

There is nobody like Buff. Strongest player on his skates in the league and the hardest hitter. Mix that with his hockey IQ, his passing and shooting ability and his soft hands and there is really nobody to compare him to.

My vote could easily change by the end of the next series.

 

[Gotaf7]

Voted Buff, but probably should have gone with Helly. We have quite a few drivers this post season, Buff, Helly, Sheif, Wheels, Lowry you could make a case for any of them!

 

[MoreMorrissey]

B2B shutouts is hard to beat. Can't believe Trouba is even an option after he tried to single handedly lose us game 4.

 

[1stDan]

Tyler Myers

With Bucky and Buff close behind

 

[boyko10]

Went with Buff over Helle (props to Scheif!). Helle has been near perfect, but as far as making an impact no one comes close to Buff. It'll be Helle the moment we start facing more/dangerous shots. All due respect to the Wild, they were toothless on offense.

That said.. Swing low, sweet Chiarot.. Coming for to silently snag a Smythe plz thanks.

 

[truck]

I voted Buff. He was just too fun.

That said, the Jets controlled 68% of shot attempts, 70% of shots and 74% of high danger chances with Morrissey on the ice.

He was phenomenal - even as Trouba was shaking off his rust.

That Scheifele line was amazing too. Connor is due for a goal or two.

 

[csk]

If the 1st round taught me anything, it's that Buff is still our #1D

 

[10Ducky10]

Thought I'd bump this...
Helle, Buff and Scheif are still the top 3 after game 1 against the Preds but am unsure of the order.
I have noticed though that the calls for Buff to be traded sure have quieted down.

Well, the trade deadline HAS passed...
