Vezina Trophy favourite Connor Hellebuyck has allowed at least four goals in every game and 19 in total in the Jets’ series with the Avalanche. Does Colorado have Hellebuyck rattled? TSN Hockey analyst Cheryl Pounder joins That’s Hockey host Gino Reda to discuss.

The Avs can rattle any goalie who's ever lived. Prime Henrik Lundqvist and prime Dominik Hasek could potentially get rattled by these Avs. That said it's also possible that Hellebuyck is a regular season goalie and not so much of a postseason goalie. There are major differences between the two categories there.
The Avs have the entire Jets team rattled
Helle's numbers are bad, not because he has been awful, but because the entire team has been completely off their game. You can't give up over 40 shots a game to the Avs and lay the blame on your tender. Don't get me started on the parade to the penalty box and their inability to clear the zone when they get possession of the puck.
the avalanche rattled the entire team. Can't wait for tuesday cmon avs
Hellebyuck is the only reason the Jets have been in every game at the midpoint of regulation. He’s spends the first 20-30 minutes of every game slamming the door shut and making several brilliant saves in the process. This obviously isn’t sustainable for an entire game and the floodgates will inevitably open.
Anyone who’s actually watched this series knows that goaltending is not the jets issue. The Avs’ are simply on another level.
Game 1 they rattled him.
