Part of the job description for any National Hockey League coach -- beside all that teaching and winning stuff -- is to occasionally pump the brakes on expectations.
A five-game winning streak doesn't mean Stanley Cup parades should be mapped out, just as a five-game skid hardly calls for management's heads to be slammed on pointy sticks. So when the topic of Connor Hellebuyck comes up -- he joined the Winnipeg Jets last month dubbed "the best goaltender not in the NHL" by some, promptly won his first start and already has many in Jets Nation convinced his name will one day be engraved on the Vezina Trophy -- Jets coach Paul Maurice throws up a big, fat stop sign.
