Hellybuyck is 0-9 on the road in the playoffs.
ELEVEN goals allowed from 30+ feet in this year's playoffs.. Worst NHL playoff road goaltender of all time with 5.50 GAA and 0-9. Have they figured him out? Just shoot the puck. By comparison Oettinger is a brick wall.
I just don’t think Hellebuyck’s game translates well to playoff hockey. He’s technically so sound & his positioning when getting to square up to shooters in the regular season is impeccable.. but the playoffs are a much different style of play
Update…he sucks in the playoffs….esp at home
0 -9 …my kid with down syndrome can score on him….omg goalie change
PEG still couldn't score, so it's not just their goalie. Stars were amazing B4 their got their top 2-unhealthy players back. But, I still hope the Oilers take care of VGK, as McDrai can beat Oettinger's team.
Hellysuck is a head case playoff loser!
Literally everyone the last 3 years have solved hellesuck
He doesn’t even move his glove. It’s frozen
If it ends in 5, time for a rebuild. Trade Helly and Jets fans can finally realize that the goaltender was never the issue. You can't score you can't win. They can then compete for 8th in the West or even miss the playoffs, where this team really belongs. Jets fans seem to be the most willing of all fan bases to throw the goaltender under the bus first.
Finnish Mafia can solve even the hardest mysteries😁
may just be regular season goalie
Dallas Florida Stanley cup final is gonna go crazy 🔥
Stars just did what needed nothing More the Jets chicken fly Will be end after next game. Hi from FINLAND 🇫🇮
Jets are like the weakest President's Trophy top seed in this playoffs
Amazing analysis: score more goals
EVERYONE has figured out Hellebuyck. lol
Nothing to figure out, he sucks in the playoffs. Vegas 2018, choke. 2019 terrible goals, 2023 Vegas, choke, Colorado 2024 ultra choke. 2025 he has actually been worse than all of those. Most overrated goalie in my lifetime
St Louis basically did in the first round
Most disappointing goalie in hockey history
Hellebuyck isnt a great playoff goalie. Period
the whole league has figured hellebuyck out. just wait till the playoffs and he will turn into an ahl goalie
This isn’t a breaking revelation 😂 The Blues and St. Louis media were saying Hellybuck is terrible high glove side and he plays too deep in net. He doesn’t come out far enough to cut down angles. If the Blues weren’t so young and inconsistent they should have beaten the Jets in 5 games. Hellybucks style is great for regular season because teams arent near as aggressive
Yes, they figured out his one weakness: Finns.
St. Louis had a team of teenagers, and they solved him. If they were more experienced, they probably could have beaten the Jets in the first round.
Hellybuyck is a joke regular season means nothing, as a American if that pos loser is our goalie in the Olympics we won't win
He may as well not even wear a glove cause that's where he's getting beat
The problem is the Jets are shooting for the chest area of the goalie or completely miss
Def can't be winning a vezina if your weakness is high glove as a goalie, man the glove is made for catching ffs. Ex goalie here with most allowed through five hole
Hell, the blues figured out conner Hellebuyck.
So why wouldnt players shoot high glove in the regular season?
.851 save percentage in the playoffs…I'm pretty sure everyone has him figured out.
Jets are Finn-ished.
"Hello" cost Jets the Vagas series a few yrs back….Time to move him on . Put the hook on him before game starts.
Momentum matters. It's so demoralizing when your goalie consistently gives up a weak goal within the first 5 shots of the game. Thats a recipe to become snakebitten. It's so difficult to squarely blame the poor play in front of him when we cant get a save at an important time. You can see us deflate
I think everyone has figured out the way to beat Hellebuyck is to make him get on an airplane and stay at a hotel.
