I think the bigger issue is that Helle let in 3 goals on 6 shots or 3 goals on 7 shots... haven't seen Pav do that yet this season, and almost never in the past either.  Tough to trust a goalie who has games like that back-to-back.

Sure but is that a bad couple of games or is Helle finished as an NHL goalie?  Because his sv% and GAA is still better than Pavs.  That would indicate his bad two games was an aberration, not the norm.

Jets see themselves as still in playoff contention and they are desperate.  They would play Bob Essensa if the end result was a win, regardless of whether the score was 14-12.  I think we can speculate that Chipman's patience is a bit thinner this season.  he wants the playoffs.

Exactly, that's kinda what I'm getting at.  I think everyone in the Jets organization knows that Pav is a stopgap and Helle still has a future here as a starter.  But now is not the time to let him develop and find out whether his poor play was an aberration.  They need the (relative) consistency of Pavelec right now more than the roller coaster that Helle seemed to be riding in his last handful of starts.

Trouba is playing great.... he has equalled his point total for the last 2 seasons in half the games!

 

Armia... doesn't look like a guy I would want to protect...

Postma and Stuart still suck.... that is all.

Need to lock Trouba into an 8 year extension this summer.
