How do Winnipeg fans feel about Connor Hellebuyck's return?

So, how do you feel about Hellebuck not playing? I'm a guy who wants to play 84 games. if he possibly could for some reason can't play in this game, Well, it was really disappointing. To be honest, I thought it was fake news this morning when I first saw it, and I let everyone know in my chat that was coming with me, and it's overall quite disappointing. So you were planning to go to the game? Yes, and the reason was for this very reason. We wanted to see him and welcome him back in the way that only Winnipeg can. My name's Caleb Shyack. Pretty disappointed. New Jersey's here, or... Once this season, and we play them once in Jersey, so this is going to push back any sort of reaction from the fans for a year, which is disappointing. Okay, I've got to ask too. Now I know you're going to the game, correct? Yes. I would have loved to have seen the fans' reaction to everything, right? Like, you know that True North would do a video and all of that, so it's going to be disappointing. It sucks. I think that it's going to be still a pretty vocal crowd, and wherever he is in the arena, he's going to hear what the crowd has to say. How are we disposing? Oh man, you know... I mean, in my opinion, I thought he was a really good goalkeeper. But it's unfortunate to see that he's just not on the team anymore. I think Ottawa was really impressive with Brady Tkachuk coming back there, but nobody beats Winnipeg fans when it comes to creative chance, so I'm really excited to see what they come up with. I paid more than I should have for these tickets. I think a lot of people are in the same boat. The tickets went up really quickly after the trade was announced. We were all together, my family and I, and we looked up the prices and at the time they were higher than the Heritage Classic, which was that weekend. So I think for the people that sold them, They got a good deal for those, the rest of us, like between you and me. I'm still excited to be going I'm glad we have the tickets I don't care so much about the extra price because I think it's gonna be still a good time But the vibes will still be great in that arena Hellebuck says it was a team's decision not to play him. I'm curious. Do you believe him? And why? Not a chance. I think Hellebuck knows that the Jets know exactly all of his weaknesses And he's a little scared about how he's gonna perform and he doesn't want to come across He's not showing any sort of weakness. He's not somebody who stands up to his faults, ever. And this would be a glaring example of how those faults exist. And I think he's scared. I honestly think that he's scared. I do believe that it might have been a team decision, but I think that his attitude might have played a role in that, in which he kind of forced them to make a tough decision like that. But yeah, I think that he should have definitely played. You know, I think it's unfortunate. I think there's going to be debate on that for a really long time, and it could have gone either way. We'll leave it at it's disappointing. Oh, I don't believe it. I can't believe it. First of all, I don't understand why a big announcement needed to be made. And second of all, from what I saw, the Devils have been doing very well with him, including last or they recently shut out Toronto. So I don't understand why they wouldn't play him, especially because he has said that he wanted to play. Hello Bucks says he'll speak to Winnipeg fans. What do you want to hear from him? I want to hear honesty for once. I read the statement that he gave out to the Jets and it felt empty. There was no actual reason in there for wanting to leave. We're still avoiding the fact that I think the majority of people are upset with how he celebrated in his own country. It has nothing to do with anything else. At the time when there was such a divide between Canada and the U.S. and the way that we were treated by the president, He decided to go and celebrate with that person. It was poor taste and he hasn't addressed it. That's, I'd say, one of the biggest issues. I don't know if I really want to hear anything. I'm just disappointed that the fans aren't going to get to give their own reaction to his homecoming. I personally have nothing to hear at this time. Like, actions speak louder than words in my view and his actions have spoken for themselves. You feel about him now that he's not on the Jets? Um, I mean, you know, I think it's quite unfortunate. He was a very talented player, you know, won an MVP as a goalie, right? Um... But, you know, it's unfortunate. You know, I think that he's a very, very good, talented player. And, you know, I think that he should have stayed, but some things just don't turn out the way you want them to be, and that's the way it is. You know what? I had... I have great memories of Helly and I'm going to the game with these kids who are in my family who grew up with the guy, you know, and so... I can't speak to anybody's personal life or the decision that he made not to play here. I just am disappointed with the way that it happened, that he sat out on the contract, didn't tell us for a long time, etc. I'm over that dude. I am so over that guy. Again, I want, I think like everybody in Winnipeg, we want people who want to be here. We want people who are honest, hardworking people, just like the way I think we feel as Winnipeggers. And if you're not going to be that, forget it. You're done.
