2024 Playoffs - First Round - Jets vs Avalanche

[Cypruss]

What is your prediction??

 

[Skidooboy]

Jets in 5 maybe 6.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Jets in 6. Such a solid, deep lineup. No one really elite, other than Hellebuyck (though I’ll listen to anyone making a case for Morrissey).

Can never feel confident against a team with Mackinnon and Makar, but boy this Jets squad has shown the ability to maintain consistent, strong play as well as the resolve to endure & overcome adversity.

I wish I could have watched more games this season, but I’m sure excited about seeing them in the playoffs

Hanging with my people here

Until my arse is numb

Whiteout Baby!

Go Jets Go!

 

[WolfHouse]

Just play the system please.

 

[Buffdog]

Every time Mackinnon is on the ice I pucker a little. He's the type of player that can take over a game or series and there's almost not a goddamn thing you can do to stop him

The good news is that Helle is the same. Play the system and if he's sharp, we should have a decent chance

Well... I mean you can Bobby Clarke him...

If the guys, especially Scheifele line can not get killed by MacKinnon line its hard not to like our chances.

Avs at their best are a lot style wise like The Preds I think. Maybe I'm way off base? But both are all about applying pressure to you in transition. Speed speed speed.

Their bottom six may not be able to be effective against better system teams. But if they show up, or the Jets details slip a bit... momentum means a lot in short series.

Pretty much depends on what version of the Jets show up.

Five game win streak Jets roll in? Good chances for us. Just play the system as they did against Dallas and Colorado in the last two games and they could sweep.

Six game losing streak Jets roll in? We'll be swept.

Likely outcome, Jets in six. Colorado is too good to not make this close.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I really want to predict a Jets victory in the series...so I will! Jets in 7.

Buuuuuuuuut...I keep thinking back to a season not too far in the past when a certain Edmonton team dominated us during the regular season and we went into the playoffs with everyone predicting we'd lose to those same oilers and we ended up sweeping them right out of the dance. I'm not sure I feel super confident based on anything that's happened this season against the Avs.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I voted Jets in 6 but it's not a totally confident vote.

A month ago, I would have said we're likely to get swept or close to it.

It really depends on which Jets team shows up and how much they can neutralize MacKinnon, Rantanen, Makar, etc.

 

[GaryPoppins]

For whatever reason, I feel like we get through Colorado only to meet Vegas again with a predictable result. Never know, though. 3rd time is the charm.

 

[robertocarlos]

Five.

The interesting thing about that series vs edmonton was that the Jets came out and played a completely different system in thr playoffs than they did in the regular season vs them that shut them down

I think that in order for the Avs to beat us (assuming we're playing our game within bones system), they'll have to make some kind of adjustment to how they play. After listening to their coach talk after we shitkicked them, I'm not very confident in his ability to draw something up and implement it in a week

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Any word on when the expected game 1 in Wpg is? I’m hearing Monday now - apparently Hustler mentioned Monday on his podcast today?

Ugh. For us out of towners Sat/Sun would be so much easier. lol. But I guess I gotta do what I gotta do.

 

[robertocarlos]

SN does not want to broadcast the Jets on a Saturday night.

Sigh…..truth.

 

[Jets 31]

Jets in 6 , you have to think Colorado with their talent will win at least 2 games, MacKinnon is the best player in hockey right now and is good enough to win a game by himself that Lucky Charms eating bastard .

true enough.


And yet...still a tid bit clenchy!

 

[SLAYER]

Series will probably go the distance, the Avs should be a formidable opponent. Let's see how Georgiev holds up.

 

[Gordon112358]

Jets in 6.
As long as our goaltending and system play is intact I think our bottom 6 will win the series for us.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This is awkward for me because I rooted for the Avs when we didn't have this Jets team. Not my username.

Jets in four because goaltending for the Avs.

MacKinnon and Makar are what could be the advantage for the Avs.

But I want to see Dallas-LA and LA to beat Dallas if we beat Colorado because it'd be funny if we beat the Kings in round 2.

 

[robertocarlos]

Avs are frauds.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Avs are frauds.

If I DON’T see a sign that says that at the playoff game I will be sad.

 

[Aggie204]

Jets in 1. Hear me out, the good guys whoop them so bad 10-1, that Mac throws in the towel and forces a trade to Winnipeg. As a matter of fact, the gravitational tidal force of that beating rips open a hole in time and space that all life ceases.
