No amount of fancy stats can paper over a 3.35 Goals against. That is the whole team playing weak defense. (Gio and Hamonic missing.. a bit over half the games. Hamonic might not be as easy to replace as some folks think)
A 2.10 with a 12-6-2 and those Crappy fancy stats...IF they held for the last 20 games would suggest that Hellebuyck would be the best player in the league as the season ended.
The Flames goalies saw slightly more shots over the last 20 games than the Jets goalies 653 to 634

You can ride a hot goalie, but it will only get you as far as you help him out defensively. See the Flames against the Avs last season. We just need to shell Hellebuyck. He can't stop them all if he has very poor defense.
About your post before the one I quoted, your away and home stats could mean something if we actually had a home and away this season. We don't, we're all in the same conditions, same building, same everything. With that in mind, the cup is basically there for anyone to grab. Nobody has momentum.
