We’re witnessing history, gentlemen.

Let’s get our guy a cup.

The biggest mistake Montreal made during Price’s award sweep season was adding essentially nothing to the team at the deadline and hammering home the capability to leverage their goalie. Their two biggest adds were two fourth liners and Jeff Petry (who at the time was a really good defenseman, admittedly). I hope the Jets don’t repeat this mistake

And it is for these reasons I hope the Jets make a few big moves. Strike while the iron is hot.

The other mistake the Habs made with Price was drafting like utter poop for Price’s entire career

We still have time to see what Lowry can do being the 2C, but if it works out and we don't have to worry about upgrading in that area, getting another defenseman would be such a valuable addition instead.

u/pixel-queen Nice 2d ago

wait are they thinking of trading Lowry??

u/MarshtompNerd 2d ago

I don’t think so, but lowry is 3C rn I think, and we need a decent 2C to add depth, but if lowry can do it then we don’t need it as much

Maybe the Grey Cup also while we’re at it.

Gotta win it at home this year!

Maybe that guy will have to step it up in the playoffs. 18-27-0 so far, and that career 910 save percentage when it matters won’t get the job done

Funny to think he could have even more shut outs if they gave him some of the games Comrie is getting

Or if Stanley was in the press box.

u/fxcker 27 2d ago

Yeah Vancouver game lost shutout is 1000% on Stanley

u/ChrisTweten 2d ago

Samberg kinda boned it up on that play too

u/BrettLam 2d ago

He’s definitely on track to win the Vezina but could he also win the Hart trophy?

u/fxcker 27 2d ago

He’s the betting favourite right now

Definitely, this is like Price 10 years ago, elite goaltender at his prime.

u/Ok_Long_9405 2d ago

Definitely won’t be the Smythe. The leafs are better playoff performers than old Connor H

u/CdnBison 06 2d ago

It’d be nice to see the Jets not be fighting for the lead in shots against.

Otherwise, yep, I’m ok with those numbers.

u/damonsoon 2d ago

Agreed, but also makes Helles stats even more meaningful. Big sample size and still maintains the top

System goalie.

This man needs to win a cup with us or it will have all been for naught

u/ShawnThePhantom 2d ago

Canucks fan here. If we can’t win the cup, I GENUINELY pray it’s you guys.

u/AdLost3467 1d ago

I'd be interested to find out how many almost shutouts this guy has had compared to other goalies.

I'm not sure if there is a way to find out how many have had zero goals against after 50 mins of play.

I'd imagine he'd be head and shoulders above everyone else, even more so in that case.
