I always think it's weird to think about Goalie X v Goalie Y in a game. They have nothing to do with each other's play, they don't really go head to head and they don't face the same shooters.
Hellebuyck was very good in the final. But then again, to me the key wasn't him making the big saves (outside of the paddle save). It was Mackinnon missing and a Dman on the goal line stopping a puck which had already passed Hellebuck.
I find it hard to criticize a 3 on 3 loss.
