I don’t know what happened to the Jets. They used to be the best team in the 3rd period last year
Now it’s seems like they stop playing in the 3rd period. Especially last few minutes Jets seem content to cruise while other teams play like madmen

Yeah... every goalie needs luck, get your heads out of your a**es lmfao.
He clearly has more talent then luck. No need to be delusional guys.

Maybe they were talking to Trouba.YoU LoOk NeRvOuS !

Yes, relatively little.
Tortorella has a .590 points ratio in 321 games with the Blue Jackets; Paul Maurice, whom even I'll concede is among the worst coach in the league, is .582 in 445 games with the Jets. Now of course you have to factor in the team's talent level, but when you actually do that, the difference between the best coach and worst coach pales in comparison between the best team talent and the worst team talent.
I defer to Rob Vollman, a hockey analyst now the director of analytics with the LA Kings, who has done the first real significant analysis on this subject. You can check the data and see your own conclusions.

All the Jets can do is push it to 7.
It is not like St Louis has blown out the Jets at any point and most games were 1 goal games.

During the peak of Binnington's hype, he was putting up numbers that, if reflective of his true talent, would make him the best goalie in modern history.
Tell me with a straight face that you believe Binnington is the best goalie in modern history.

I hope Trouba gets punched in the face by Buff in the locker room.
Trouba is an useless piece of shit and very overrated.
The series isn’t over by far. But as a Blues fan this win feels good. Game 6 is gonna be crazy !

Fleury's run in the playoffs last year, Dubnyk with Minnesota, the Hamburgler's run with Ottawa, just a few off the top of my head. Could probably include Fleury's replacement who won two cups with Pittsburgh. Goalies don't seem to stay at an elite/dominant level for any lengthy period of time these days.

He certainly is not, I'm not that crazy. He's not some god sent goalie either, he's just straight up doing his job and he's doing it better than any goalie we've seen here in St. Louis in a very long time. He's calm and poised just about the whole game, every game. I'm not here to say that he's unbeatable because he certainly is and you guys have peppered him before, but he has been playing great you have to admit.

I do not feel either team should be cocky at this point.
This series is ridiculously close and both teams have blown games.

Is a Jets win less valid if their goalie steals to too? Should all wins stolen by goalies be worth no points? Maybe just one point?
Love all the fans of teams already golfing that come in to troll! Or Leafs fans.... the team that has not won a playoff series in what? A decade? Actually longer. Some of them on here were probably wearing diapers then.
Anyways, most people had Blues or Jets in 6-7. So should be a good game Saturday. Home ice disadvantage has the Blues in 7. I think this series is fitting to go 7

In a 15 game stretch, a mediocre starter has a 1-in-6 chance of outperforming the best goalie in the league. That should absolutely be indicative of how much variance is inherit in this position in any sample size south of the thousands-of-shots-against range.
And, fellow Jets fan, you should really add Hutchinson to that list

Only if it focuses almost entirely on games against Chicago!

His performance has DEFINITELY been at a mid-to-above-average-starter level, and I'll definitely concede he has a veteran's mindset, which frankly is all you've needed for a long time. I wouldn't trust Jake Allen to tend my garden, much less my net.
Clearly that was a response to a few ignorant Leaf fans gloating prematurely and without substance.

Amazing what happens if you take a position that has slot-machine levels of variance, and then focus on a randomly-selected sample size of 150 shots

Having said what I said, I maintain Hellebuyck is the better goalie, even if not by much.
