GDT: (1) Jetz @ Avz (2) - 12:30PM - Complaints Only Edition

[Muffin]

Think we’re going to need a big performance from the big line to finish the series.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Which one?

How Rantanen borderline a non factor through the first 2 rounds.

 

[FinPanda]

Playoff Lehkonen is why I love him as a player so much

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Seems as if Jets fell in a trap. They should have probably tanked to get an easier playoff team instead they chose to play Avs in playoffs.


Yeah, he is day to day. He should be back in our 2nd round series.

Cmon, most of the "experts" chose Jets to win this series and they beat us just before the playoffs 7-0. They were on moon before the series. We were starting to panic, but the team was resting for the playoffs.. surprise ***** *****.

Jets got played into thinking we are terrible.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

For those of you who are saying this playoff effort feels like 2022, but are worried about Rantanen? I feel like you’re forgetting a key part of our 2022 run.

The Avs will be in trouble in round 2 and then calle rosen will jump out of the stands and cross check eichel into Pietrangelo and they both implode?

 

[dahrougem2]

Which one?

Mikko being damn near useless the first two rounds. It wasn't until game 4 in St. Louis when he scored the ENG with 2 seconds left - his 1st of the playoffs IIRC - that he finally started to look better.

I don't have that same hope this season. That 2022 season he was great all year. He has been bad this season and it has carried over to the playoffs. Guy refuses to move his feet.

BAH GAWD! THAT’S STONE COLD CALLE’S MUSIC!!!

That could be the only reason we’ve been seeing Mikko out there when the Jets’ net has been empty.

Bednar wants him to get an easy goal and get going ffs.

And yet he finished 8th in the league in scoring. Hockey is funny sometimes.

Let's face it, part of it is because of MacK

Other than today, that would make some sense. They were trying hard to get Nuke the hatty today

Mack has 7 points in 4 games in this series and yet has looked terrible for most of it. Hockey is weird

 

[dahrougem2]

He has all-world talent. The ability to play with Nathan MacKinnon and score off of his passes/feed MacKinnon is not something anyone can do.

That said, we still need more. Too many times this season he gets the puck and stops moving his feet. We've all seen Rantanen get going before, he can fly if he wants to. He's become an incredibly lazy hockey player.

I believe part of that is on Jared Bednar playing him WAY too much the last two seasons. Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar can do it, I don't know that Mikko Rantanen can.

Don’t forget that Mikko had some sort of illness that took him out of the last few games of the 22 season, if my memory serves correct.

And he very clearly did not look like himself through the first 2 rounds, for sure. Almost like he was working to regain strength or something. I’m guessing he had some sort of bad strain of the flu or something like that.


Now, that isn’t being said to excuse his poor play through the playoffs thus far, we absolutely need him to be be a factor going forward if we’re going to have any shot at a deep run.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Genuinely curious how Mikko is such an elite player, can put up 100+ points a year but is nearly invisible most the time. It's so weird to me.

Mikko hasn’t been good, but honestly, MacK hasn’t been a ton better. I feel like he’s had a lot of ‘Mikko’ type points this series.

Winnipeg does seem to be able to limit their effectiveness more than almost any other team for some reason.

I think it’s a testament to the strength of this team that they can have sub-par play from those guys and still be up 3-1 in a series.

Watching the highlights it looked like Nuke took the puck from Moose at the end and scored, almost like Nuke was impatient with his BS.

Well, Jets have to do everything in their power to stop those two, so it opens up opportunities to others.

It looked like Rantanen fell over Bambi style

I was so ready to be pissed at Mikko for “stealing” Nuke’s hat trick.

Greedment

I just mentally pictured a non-HFAvs person trying to figure out this expression.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Logan Stanley is a scrub. Legit liability for Winnipeg and a huge downgrade from Dillon.

Not that I feel bad for Winnipeg with Landy, OC, and Drouin all injured, but Stanley is an awful defenceman.

 

[Sea Eagles]

As this is just a negative thread, I'm just disappointed we let these bums win a game ! hahahaha.

Nice! I posted one of these earlier lol. Then got another troll warning after it. It's f***ing bull shit. I made a valid point and got called for trolling. Get f***ed HF police.

I got a warning for literally doing nothing but using the laugh function on some posts.

Yeah it's crazy. Troll Stomper account is literally coming after me for making a clear point about Delay of Game is always a penalty and it's a rule. Some Jets fan was trying to say it shouldn't have been called a DOG.
