Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2017/2018 Season

[blue_or_die]

40 of the Jets' victories go to Hellebuyck. His record is 40-11-9 so far this season.

Wow, I read that wrong. Was concentrating on something else at the time.

Very happy to hear the news of Morrissey avoiding any consequences.

HellB should be a contender for the Vezina ....... his numbers are terrific.

[blue_or_die]

Contender, definitely. It?ll be hard to beat out Rinne, though

Rinne?s name is already carved onto the trophy.

Helle is definitely top 3 in the league this year though!

I dont agree with this.  Hellebyuck has a shot at the Vezina.  I also consider MA Fleury a strong candidate as well.  I am not sure how much of an impact Fleurys injury would play, but Fleury has a better GAA and save percentage than Rinne.

Pekka definitely has the vez wrapped up.  Fleury is having a great season but IMO missed too much time this year.  Hellebyuck I would say is the runner up, awesome season but just not quite the numbers that Pekka has been putting up.

I dont agree with this.

Me, neither.

Rinne: 2.25 GAA, .929 SV%
Hellebuyck: 2.38 GAA, .923 SV%

Rinne has marginally better numbers and has played behind arguably the best blue line all season. And let's call a spade a spade here: Rinne has been a top tier netminder for years. Did anyone expect this from Hellebuyck going into the season?

Hellebuyck has a chance at winning the Vezina as well as anyone else. I'd also put Vasilevskiy and Andersen in the discussion.

#NHLJets HC Paul Maurice says there will be no changes to his skaters tonight. D Jacob Trouba is banging on his door to play and hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game vs #Leafs and G Steve Mason could be an option to play in a game next week. Best guess is Tue vs #Habs

[blue_or_die]

'Member when the Habs and Sens placed #1 and #2 in the Atlantic last year? I 'member!!

[blue_or_die]

Comrie confirmed for tonight.

Helle should be ready for a statement against the Laughs

[Jesse]

Helle has had a great season, no question, but I don?t think he gets bonus points because it was unexpected. And while he?s second and third in a lot of categories, Rinne is first in most of them.

Again, of course Helle and a couple of others deserve to be mentioned, but at this point in the season, Rinne has it wrapped up.

[The Zipp]

One of the worst periods of hockey the jets have played recently...They don?t look too interested or intense

[TrueBlue75]

Awful first period for the Jets. Just skating around and making it easy for the hawks. Maybe they got a bit complacent from playing at home against top teams? Hopefully they show up in the second period. This one?s boring.

[The Zipp]

Ouch.  Comrie is not looking NHL ready tonight. 

[blue_or_die]

Poor Comrie
