Quoting: tsyls
I know you know they have lots of issues, but you’re making it out to be that hellebuyck is the main problem here. He’s not at all, but you’re not wrong, he didn’t steal a game, but he didn’t have to steal every game for the jets to be successful. We’re never winning a series with kyle Connor going goalless and no scheifele and Laine in the lineup. You know it’s bad when copp Lowry and roslovic is your 2nd line. That line was the best of the series and that says a lot.... Wheeler and Connor did nothing all series.
I'm just venting, not cause I actually care about this Covid cup but no matter what this team needs major work if it ever intends on winning a playoff series, they're just so not built for playoff hockey, it's
way more then just needing a 2C and a dman or two.
I'm not blaming it on Helly though I do think he's an average goalie, he just doesn't look dialed in very often to me, big and boring but kind of sloppy a lot of the time, idk I just don't see anything special in his game that I don't see in other goalies.
It's just depressing how far this team has fallen in such a short time and the hill to climb to getting back to any kind of contender looks like a massive mountain to climb, way too small on the back end, no powerplay QB, need a 2C and better center depth on a whole, need a 4th line and an improved bottom 6 overall, not enough size on the forwards, can't score 5v5 and their PK sucks badly, do you see that all being figured out in one offseason?.. Lol
