Hellebuyck Panic Time?
I know, it's very early. But I'm starting to get a little concerned that WPG will panic and decide to bring Pavelec back up. Hellebuyck is my 2nd goalie in a league where we start 2, and I didn't draft a backup. Should I consider claiming a backup for someone on my roster? Available options are:
Steve Mason
Jimmy Howard
Peter Budaj
...and a bunch of the other scrubs who you would expect)

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
As I have said with Elliott, it's not the time to panic. If these four bad games had been spread out, then we wouldn't be worrying. He'll find his timing and be back on his game soon.

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
Would definitely consider picking up Mason (Rodney Dangerfield of goalies) as backup option depending on who you have to drop.
Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
I would pickup a 3rd G, if its possible.

I understand your pain, just look at my signature
I am holding tight, however. Season is young and these boys need some time to settle in to their new jobs. A little bad luck and weak defence certainly didn't help our boys either. I am fairly certain in a few weeks things will have smoothed out. It is a long season.

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
I had an awful week with goalies top to bottom. Really bad considering it was an extended game week. But I looked at the other league results and my goaltending stats were pretty much on par with all but two teams.
It seems everybody's goalies are sucking with a few exceptions. I'm just hoping that either the situation will either revert to the norm or that maybe this is a new norm. Either way, not time to panic...yet.

I think you want a 3rd guy for insurance, but remember "Dont Panic!".

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
A lot of starting goalies have a save% below .900 since the begginng of the season.
But I would pick a 3rd option.
Maybe it is'nt Helle time yet after all...

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
Hellebuyck actually did not look that bad last game. First goal was a breakaway after a grievous error by Byfuglien. Second goal was another error at the end of a penalty causing a wide open two on one that was executed perfectly. The third was a shot deflected off a defenceman's stick. If it wasn't for bad luck Hell Boy would have no luck at all. It has to even out eventually

Re: Hellebuyck Panic Time?
Helle looked solid. And against Dallas too (I know they are missing half their team, but still).
