Mods please delete this thread and burn all backups.....For the love of God

Mason isn't that bad.

 

[Hobble]

Time to fire Flaherty and hire whatever Messiah coached Helle in the off season.

 

[Guerzy]

Has started the season red hot going 8-0-2 and sporting a GAA of 2.12 and .936 SV%.

Is he elite?

 

[Isaac Nootin]

This thread is elite.

He's more than that.
He's generational.

Kyle Conner Hellebuyck both an elite goaltender and an elite forward prospect.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Connor Charles Hell Buick is an elite goaltender in the NHL. Mark my words.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

the best part about this winnipeg has a goalie thing, is that he is essentially an average nhl starting goalie who has been able to make saves. Winnipeg is so used to having a goalie that cant stop a puck to save their life that average is now elite in their eyes. (you dont see san jose fans starting a Is martin Jones Elite)

 

[TheNorth86]

Elite gets thrown around way too much. He's good right now and he's young which is exactly why the Jets are so high on him. Think he could be becoming a top 10 goalie though.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Who would have thought getting Mason would make Hellebuyck better.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

He is better than Price that's for sure.

 

[tntkid]

Mason is doing a really good job of sitting on the bench every game.
4.1 million a season for him is a complete joke.

Mason isn't that bad.

 

[Hunter368]

Yes he’s doing well, as is the defence on the team

[The Kessel Run]

It's nice to see him fulfill some of his promise this year. He's looked very solid.

 

[I am not exposed]

Looking at those stats is like music to my eyes. I'm really happy about the Mason signing because I think it lit a huge bonfire under Hellebuyck's a**.

Winnipeg may have finally found their answer in goal.

How many years did Mason sign for?

 

[I am not exposed]

Oh, he's killing it in my fantasy league. Keep it up!

 

[topshelf15]

The Jets themselves look great,that team has always left you wanting more.Has vanished, and is now doing what most expected

 

[Do or Die]

What is different?

Quite a few things:

Establishes position early, uses his size better in net coverage (caught moving laterally too many times, last year)
Better glove hand
Better rebound control

 

[Whileee]

Pavelec does not belong in the league

you can admit Hellebuyck had trash #s last year (edit: he was trash) but agree that it's not reflective of his true value and you have up and downs with a young starter

I think Maurice mismanaged him last year, and undercut his confidence somewhat. He yanked him in 5 games, often too early when he wasn't at fault. He's definitely a stronger and more confident goalie this season. He's now starting to play to the potential he showed as a prospect in the NCAA and AHL, and as an NHL rookie. I think he's the real deal.

I'd love if we just stopped fluffing our team's feathers on here. Lets keep this teams success quiet and enjoy the ride.....

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

he looks unreal. He plays so big and his positioning is unreal. He never has to flop around or make quick movements it seems. Every shot on him, he is just there. Seems like every shot hits him in the body. Awesome to watch

Early Vezina candidate.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Feel like he just needed some pressure off his back, seemed like he was getting too much pressure going into last season, this year the pressure was entirely on Steve Mason coming in and Hellebuyck was a bubble at that point.

Wondering what's going to happen to Steve Mason, if he'll be traded or stuck here until he becomes a free agent.
