Ok so I got a moronic eye roll for my post. What does that mean? Explain yourselves Helle-haters. I pray that this isn't due to some extremely stupid political reason but I know it probably is, and that's just awful if true.

So what should i call what you gave me ....LOL

Having your feelings hurt because somebody reacted to your comment is hilarious! Naturally you'd blame it on politics which makes it even more hilarious. Thanks for the laugh, I for one appreciate it.

I actually agree with Helle here. We went out and signed washed up bums to play with other washed up bums. I’d be pissed also but I’d prob recognize that I personally didn’t have the best year either despite having smoke blown up my ass by some MAGA folks. Connor has always been an arrogant conceited prick, the guy refuses to accept any sort of criticism. Always been like this. The reality is he’s going nowhere because 1. He’s pretty right in his general opinion and 2. Goalies get nothing in return.

This will be an interesting off season. Perhaps one of the more important ones… I’ll also say you don’t need all of Iafallo names and Nino taking up spots either. 2 of 3 must go by any means necessary. I like AI but he likely has some value where Nino and names have none.

Nyquist is exhibit A for what Helle is actually talking about by the way. Can’t disagree with him.

I can’t be upset with guys who want to win but teams with lesser goalies have won Stanley Cups so it’s not like Helle isn’t replaceable.

Personally my untouchables are Helle 55 81 Gabe Lowry Josh Salo. Let’s throw in Koepke now and Rosen. That’s it Everyone else is on the table for upgrades.

This is the first I've heard of this.

You make some key points especially about Chevy’s record this year but where I branch off is one can be highly competitive, expect excellence from himself and others and be a great team member and leader. It’s not picking and choosing one approach or the other depending on the level of adversity in front of you. It’s predictability and consistently with it all. He’s coming across as being above the team. No one is above the team. That’s not being a Helle hater with weird comments about politics, it’s called how high performing teams operate to win championships.

I dunno. Helle has always been similar after not reaching the end goal. His post season interviews in the past have had similar vibes for sure. He doesn’t like criticism and never blames himself. He just doesn’t and hasn’t ever done that. He’s said he can always work on things to improve but he’s never actually accepted criticism. It’s never him. Watch previous season ending interviews with him. It’s similar. It’s how he’s wired. I’d say he’s probably saying what lots of the core is thinking. I think the article I originally saw said don’t be surprised if Helle played his last game in Winnipeg and I clicked and I didn’t get that sense at all. Bit sensationalized headline there. Helle leads by example I suppose. He’s always been outspoken with the media tho. Honest really. Blunt even. Surely YouTube has his past season ending interviews up. It’s always similar when not winning with him. Would it be nice if he was a bit more humble and said I personally didn’t have the best season minus being on an Olympic all star team? Yup but he’d never say that ever. And in the end Helle isn’t the problem, the problem is signing washed up bums to play with washed up bums. 31 of 32 teams would have waived Nyquist, we gave him minutes pp time ot time and shootouts.

Nino also. Names also. But we played them. Why give a kid a shot in the top 6 when you can play defensive guru Iafallo up there. Helle is right.

You don't air dirty laundry in public and real leaders take at least some blame, even if they don't need to (and Helle was far from perfect...)

The entire league has Winnipeg on its no trade list. What Helle is saying is public knowledge.

Leading by example isn’t just what he does between the pipes. Personality preferences is no excuse for bad behaviour. Example, if one of your personality traits is being a blunt person it doesn’t give you licence to say and do what you want with others just because that’s ’who I am’.
