I respect Connor so much for his effort and glad we have him go Jets go

Odessa Texas to Winnipeg Manitoba. Bet that was an interesting transition. Man has been a rock for the jets. If he gets a hot streak going in the playoffs, look out! I think he is the kind of goalie who could steal a series, if not more.

he's been our goalie for years now and without him we are just not complete. he got us almost right to the Stanley cup final! we protected him this year and for good reason he is a true jet and has done so much for us

I was today years old when I learned Connor Hellebuyck is American.

From a young goalie that no one had every heard of to one of the best goalies in the NHL 👊🏻

Went to Highschool with the guy. He really is a class act. Always has been. Super happy for him.
