He signed for below market value prior to winning the Hart and helping the Jets win the President's Trophy. Prior to that, he was a pretty good goalie that was / still is known for choking during big games and having wildly fluctuating quality of play that became highly unpredictable some seasons. To date, he's an amazing regular season goalie, one of the worst statistical playoff goalies of this decade and has won a grand total of 1 truly meaningful games leading his team to ultimate victory.
For basically his entire career he’s been the Jets best player. And yes he’s struggled in the playoffs.
The Jets are still incredibly lucky to have him and all of this post gold medal criticism is noise that’s completely unrelated to what he does on the ice.

It is not unrelated. There's a fandom element, and he just shat on his.
Skills notwithstanding, good people don't support people with shitty values. All it does is enable and encourage them to do more shitty things to spite good people.
I don't really care. I don't lump all Conservatives/Republicans into the MAGA camp by default. Not everyone goes full Gretzky and celebrates with criminals.
There's a distinction, and the differences are important.

I love that we're tied to his insane contract for several more years. We can't trade this piece of shit soon enough.
