Regarding Hellebuyck, I can't say I see him play a lot during the regular season, with the time difference from down east and all. So is he really that good, or is he a figment of imagination, generated by those who don't really watch hockey, just highlights? Because when I have seen him play, usually playoffs, he has never been impressive.
Of course I'm the guy who always thought Price and Brodeur were unimpressive in the playoffs. I'm not a goalie guy, generally. Comes from playing forward. Vasilevsky and Bobrovsky last night however.....that was impressive.
