It's crazy to me how Hellebuyck just fell apart. He's let in what? 20+ goals?

They don't have the speed and gusto Colorado has. After the All Star break they lost all their mojo. It's inexplicable really.

In some ways though, i think Canucks might actually match up better against that sort of system. So much of what the Canucks do best when they're really "on" is that counterattacking stuff.
It's why we struggle mightily against teams like LA who just don't bother to "attack" at all. So there's nothing to counter off of.
Nashville kind of play the same way as Canucks. Really try to feast off turnovers, broken plays, counter-attacking. Which is what has made this series so...ponderous. Low shots, low chances.
Avs and Oilers are both kind of "scary" in transition with their speed. But it also opens up the door to let them play right into the teeth of this team's defensive structure and burn them going the other way.
Damn it, Ron. That’s not ironic! It’s coincidental! This is literally your only job. The one thing you need to get right in life.

Been saying he's overrated and gets lit up in the playoffs for 5ish years now.

I actually feel bad for the Jets. I mean I don't care about them but it sucks to see from a fans perspective.
To a degree yeah, but a lot of these guys are the real deal. You don't just lose your skill and moxie overnight.

He certainly isn't a good friend so he should have lots of time to be good at that.

To be fair Winnipeg went full Calgary vs the Oilers two years against and didn't really play their system at all. Hellebuyck is good in straight lines and Colorado is just whipping the puck around east west which doesn't play into his strengths.

I just hope one of our UFA's does something this period that makes them more expensive to sign this off-season.

Hellebuyck come playoff time really stinks, it's like he's morphed into bad Luongo meltdowns.
Also, I'm sick of Nik Ehlers. Guy is this supposed awesome player but when the playoffs comes, he hasn't scored worth a damn.

Don't need to win the game, just need to win da turd!
I know a few Jets fans who absolutely revel in any Canucks failures, so it's easy for me to not care when they struggle.

Vezina is for regular season though. I think he might deserve it, he just goes full Leafs in the playoffs.
