2024-2025 NHL season

If this continues there is no question that Hellebuyck will have to give back his Vezina Trophy. There is no way he can keep it if the Jets go out like this with him being a sieve in goal with a .715 save %!
Looks like Hellebuyck is succumbing to pressure once again. Two quick goals against him early in game 7. While i’m hoping Winnipeg wins in order to have another Canadian team in the playoffs i refused to bet on this game because my gut- feeling is that Monty’s team will advance in the playoffs. There is also a personal rule i have: always put your money on the team with the best Canadian goaltender over the team with the American goalie. Rarely has this personal rule ever failed me!
Note: After this series maybe the Jets will be more than happy to trade Hellebuyck to Detroit if he wants & if they agree to take his big contract off their hands. If one of the league’s highest paid goalies can’t win in the playoffs then what good is he?

C’est quand même incroyable de choker comme ça. J’ai jamais vu un écroulement total d’un gardien aussi réputé!
It's not acceptable for a Vezina Trophy winner to suck this badly in a first round playoff series. It's also not acceptable for him to keep the Trophy. He has to refuse it.
Well…the series ain’t over yet! Unbelievable comeback by the Jets!
That was an insane 1st OT period! Jets did everything but scored, Blues can thank Binnington!
What a come back from Winnipeg! Losing Morrissey after 2 minutes on the ice, then a very shaky start from Hellebuyck, and no Sheifele, I was not confident, to say the least.
But then some 23 y.o. decided to take matters in his own hands! If nobody knew who he is, Perfetti just made a name for himself now, he inspired all his team!
Since I love numbers, here’s some interesting ones:
Jets delivered 73 hits, Blues 49
Jets outshoot Blues 47-29, they dominated from the start of the 3rd.
Neil Pionk(never draughted) spent a total of 46:15 minutes on the ice, his buddy Samberg 44:00!
I am happy Winnipeg moving on to the 2nd round but, in all honesty, the Blues deserved a better fate. I especially feel for Binnington, he played a great series.

On the other hand, Hellebuyck had a .830 save % and 3.85 GAA for the 7 game series while playing in all 7 game including the 3 in St. Louis in which he was pulled from goal. These are well below NHL backup numbers.
In the next round, Winnipeg v. Dallas will feature a matchup between the 2 best US goalies: Hellebuyck and Oettinger. Jake is out to prove that he, not Hellebuyck, should be the starter in the Team USA nets going forward. He is tired of backing up Hellebuyck at the international comps. Has his time come?
