Connor Hellebuyck was pulled from the net after just two periods in Game 4 and has now allowed 19 goals in the series. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron joins SC with Jay Onrait to explain how much of the Jets' struggles can be blamed on Hellebuyck, assess Valeri Nichushkin's impressive hat trick performance, and discuss the Canucks epic comeback win.
Stop with the delusion the Jets are a great defensive team. Requiring Hellebuyck to have to make 35+ saves every night to try and have a chance to win eliminates great defense. He is gassed. Hellebuyck will never admit that but this is the Jets MO. Get outplayed for long stretches and play for 10 minutes to come back. It does not work in the playoffs when attention to detail is required for 60 to win not 15 or 20 minutes.
I blame Connor Hellebuyck for some of the goals he's allowed but man have so many of his teammates, in their current playoff series, thrown defense under the bus. These Jets, during the four playoff games they have played, have allowed 22 goals, 19 of them other than empty-netters. On average per game these Jets have, excluding empty-netters, allowed 4.75 goals. That is alarming.
Pull your goalie! Pull your goalie! Pull your goalie! Pull your goalie! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@wainber1 If it isn't Hellybuyck in net you could likely add another 6-7 Colorado goals to this point in the series. The Jets are the Leafs of the West. lol
@@timkitchen692 Hellebuyck hasn’t been great but neither has defence for a Jets’ team that likely will extend, to a: - 3rd season, its playoff series win drought - 6th season, its conference final appearance drought
The Avs have an elite top pairing, a quality 2nd pairing, and solid depth defensemen. The Jets have Josh Morrissey, an aging Nate Schmidt, and a bunch of dudes who couldn't make a clean zone exit even if their lives depended on it
Unpopular opinion: Most of the goals he allowed aren't his fault. the team in front of him can't kill a penalty or play defence.
facts
Nah... He just sucks. .870 save percentage is dog shit. Georgie is clearly better.
D sucks for sure, but Helly is worse than them right now.
Exactly!! Can’t win games when you can’t score
The defensive depth chart is brutal. It's Josh Morrissey and a bunch of guys
Playoffs versus regular season. Hellebuyck didn't just somehow forget how to stop shots. But it could be that he's a regular season goalie not a postseason goalie. The related point is Colorado might simply be too good.
Hellebuyck is similar to great regular season goalie Carey Price, but stunk in the playoffs!
@WW3_Soon The "Price was awful in the playoffs!" narrative is way overstated. For e.g., tell me which two goalies I'm comparing here and if you think one is dramatically better than the other--- a-- .912 save percentage and a 2.46 GAA in 6957 minutes of play b-- .919 save percentage and a 2.39 GAA in 5522 minutes of play
Oiler fan living in Mb and i must say it sure is nice not hearing jets fans bragging. Pretty quiet today!
His teams is overwhelmed and letting him down.
Avs are too good...
Jets Almost as big a 💩 the bed as the Leafs
You have to score to win games. Goal prevention can only get you so far.
game 3 imo is one where he played a factor in a loss, besides that hes the only one thats trying to keep them in this
The Jets defense depth chart falls off a cliff after Morrissey. It's not sustainable to expect your goalie to bail out a Defense that bleeds high danger chances - maybe you can get away with it in the regular season, but any quality playoff opponent is going to expose you in a best of 7 series
There's no pushback! Avs have the Jets like strings on a puppet!
Jets to the ⛳️
all of it
i remember the struggles of roberto luongo, the best goalie canucks ever had, in the post seasons year after another. too bad the fingers have to be solely pointed at the goalie, but your foes will love to get into your skins and will love to strip you bare. that's what's happening with hellebuyck right now. i feel sorry for him...
Feel sorry for a guy who got a fat raise to $8.5 M AAV for the next 8 seasons of continued lousy playoff performances?
@@WW3_Soon So you only care for people based on their income? What a miserable life that must be
@@Skynexstar Don’t be a dumb idiot!
Playoffs are a different animal.
Jets have played poorly but Helle needs to be better, both can be true.
He hasn't been great but the Jets can't keep up with the Avs pace. The first period yesterday they looked like they were standing still compared to the Avs. Plus they gave up 30 shots through 2 periods. That's not a recipe for success.
How on Earth could anyone make a legitimate argument for him as a Vezina, when he's allowed 23 goals in 4 games, c'mon, Marty, open your eyes!!!
Because the award is based on regular season play only.
@@user-yg1dg6xm2gEase up - some people know nothing about hockey but comment anyway.
Georgie is clearly better. It's not even close.
Puck goes in the net, it’s the goalie’s fault. Even if it isn’t
Pull the goalie!
Hellebuyk should be playing for the Leafs at this point.
Team has been playing poorly in front of him, taking stupid penalties, how hard is he suppose to carry this team when they keep doing that crap?
The Jets have been awful! According to the 'Deserve-To-Win-O-Meter,' Colorado has been deserving of victory in every game, frequently by a considerable margin.
The Jets as a team are trash and slow, they're getting out-played by a huge margin by the Av's.
Jets will win game 5.
I give up. Infuriating
Is he on the take? Cuz he's giving too much away, now.
Not Hellebuyck's fault. lol Bowness is handing this series to Bednar on a silver platter for failing to make any adjustments to the way they are playing. It's infuriating. I've watched Todd Mclellan & Darryl Sutter run the same thing against the soilers and lose spectacularly, and now I'm watching the same thing play out in real time with Bowness against the Avs. These old farts need to be avoided at all costs (except for Tortorella).
It's not Helleybuck's fault t00ls, he got no team in front of him.
How much is on Helle? None. The team in front of him is not doing great at all.
Every Canadian team is soulless 😂 Wanna know why? Because nobody wants to play in Canada 🇨🇦
