Connor Hellebuyck is Furious At The League After Officials Left Him to Get Injured
Connor Hellebuyck is outraged at the NHL. This came after he lost his helmet during a game, and the officials didn't stop play. He was essentially left to be concussed or injured.
Here is what Hellebuyck said about the incident:
I'm glad that I didn't have to speak last night because I know a lot more now than I did then and I was a lot more emotional," admitted Hellebuyck. "When a goalie's mask is knocked off or comes off, if it's not an immediate puck going in getting tapped in, that whistle needs to be blown. Just like a player who loses his helmet has to go to the bench... the same thing should apply for a goalie.»
"That play needs to be blown dead, there was no immediate scoring chance after that, there was two passes made, and a shot from the point. Those refs made a mistake," said Hellebuyck.»
Is Hellebuyck rightfully outraged, or is he overreacting?
