from Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun,
It was one of the main stories going into the series, and it’ll be again in Game 7: Connor Hellebuyck vs Pekka Rinne.
You can’t always boil a game down to goaltending – but sometimes that’s exactly what it boils down to.
“The National Goaltending League,” is how Jets head coach Paul Maurice put it. “Over the course of 82 (games), if you have a guy who has a real good night and a guy who doesn’t, you can pretty much predict the winner on that.
So when you get to an elimination game… it’s all about goaltending anyway. It always has been.”
