WCR1: St. Louis Blues (W2) vs Winnipeg Jets (C1) - JETS WIN 4-3

I’m a jets fan but I don’t think they’re heavy enough for the playoffs. They have a couple of snipers but they’re lightweights. It doesn’t help that Hellebuyck disappears in the playoffs either.

More Jets needed, less Jerts

Hellebuyck's playoff vs regular season numbers for the last three years are not pretty.

I ran a Roy vs Brodeur comparison a couple years ago and posted it here, but the summary was that Roy's numbers were noticably better in the playoffs -- while Brodeur's were the same... meaning Roy elevated his game, while Brodeur stayed the same. (Further evidenced by Roy's 3x Conn Smythe wins in 4 Cups to Brodeur's 0x wins in 3 Cups.)

It might be time to add Hellebuyck as the example of a goalie who noticably plays worse in the playoffs.

[White Out 403]

Much different game so far.

If asked to submit a specific example to describe pinballed in hockey. That last Jets goal would be a good example.

I must say Kyle Connor is a hell of a player.

I'm not sold on the Jets. When their goalie isn't in god mode they are just alright.

Cam Fowler has been a great pickup for the Blues. 8th point of the playoffs in 3.5 games

Not smart by Lowry

God mode? He's been there biggest weakness in the playoffs going back to 2021 or 2022

[Canada 02]

3-1 Blues

[Toonage]

What exactly was Hellebuyck’s plan there?

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Oof. Jets looking shellshocked.

[OldSam]

4 - 1 Blues.

[Canada 02]

4-1 Blues

[CedarMeter]

He's in Stinker's area.
