I'm healthy with a thriving business and a hot girlfriend.
I have no reason to let my team bring me down.
There's no dishonor in losing to a better team.

Since leading 7-4 in game 1 we have been outscored 18-5.
It's been mentioned but because we are Winnipeg we can't sign a truly elite or big name C for the 1st line moving 55 to 2C. And even if we somehow could 55 would sulk.

I am an Avs fan, coming in peace.Colorado fans are really lucky to have this team.
I hope Namestikov isn’t too bad, but it looked awful.
Love this relentlessly balanced POV. Thanks..Helle has a rough start to the regular season this year for the first 4 games or so if I remember correctly - regularly letting in 4 goals or more.
Maybe he's just had a slow start again and he'll be locked in starting game 5, they do say the playoffs are the start of a new season
True North spends more time focussing on their land acknowledgement pandering than they do finding players with heart.At a loss.
I'll always be one to dream big, so it pains me to say the dream has dissipated for another year. Fantasies of celebrating a Cup on Portage and Main forgotten once more. The boy's don't have it.
Refs were highly suspect again but their job was made easy. The Jets flat out couldn't cope with Colorado. Put themselves in situations where calls against could be made. A lack of fight, a lack of ability and a lack of instinct. Whether you're better than the opposition comes second to how much you're willing to die/live for it. The Avalanche look like they want it. The Jets don't. They aren't going out the way I would. That's what's gut wrenching.
I'll watch game 4. I'll support the team season after season. It isn't all about winning to me. I went the majority of my youth without an NHL club representing the city of Winnipeg. Nothing will make me forget the longing, I'll always be grateful to have a team back. Even though my time could be used for better things, I enjoy spending winter months watching the Winnipeg Jets. That won't change.
However, I can't shake the feeling there is something wrong with the organization as a whole. There seems to be a soft underbelly weakening it. I have not had faith in Mark Chipman as the man at the helm, for years now. I think more questions need to be asked regarding his ability to oversee a hockey club. A fish stinks from the head..
There's more I could say on that but I'll leave it for now.
I hope you all can find some relief from the frustration and enjoy the rest of your day. For me it'll be taking the pooch on a walk and doing a bit of tinkering. Chins up, ya'll.
See you for at least one more dance.
It's a team option. Nice. That means we know that if Bowness is back next year, it's because the team wants him back.
I bet if Vancouver wins it's because they only have Americans on that team and Quinn Hughes is an American captain. Win-win, because the cup returns to Canada.News flash, Canadian teams don't win the SC anymore.
Usually it's the depth guys that win you a cup.Since leading 7-4 in game 1 we have been outscored 18-5.

This is the third coach, if you count Lowry, who had no ideas for this core.Same way the Jets called out Maurice...

Yes, most of us realize and are thankful that we got lucky winning the lottery to get MacKinnon and then lucky that 3 teams passed on Makar. And Sakic flat out ripped off Ottawa and Montreal in trades. Without those, our rebuild would have stalled on the edge of making the playoffs rather than contending for Cups and winning one.
You all are good fans- we far prefer you to Edmonton or Minnesota fans. I only wish we weren't in the same division because that puts a limit on how much goodwill we can share.
The Jets play clean and that's really all I ever want from an opponent. And we agree about Namestikov. Nobody wants to see a player hurt like that.
TrueI can’t wait for the off-season. First will be the end of season presser with Chevy where he blabbers on and on like a politician dodging any questions with any substance. Hopefully we can hear about how successful with whiteouts were.
Brossoit probebly walks in the off season (don’t blame him one bit), we sign the worst available backup goalie, and we’re stuck with another year of hearing about how great hellebuyck is all season.
sign a few 4th liners, try to play them as second liners, and completely ignore our total lack of defence.
Even if Bowness get shown the door, or decides he’s had enough, it’s just going to be Arniel anyways, because apparently having Winnipeg connections is more important than looking for a good coach. It would be nice if this organization did something for once in their lives that wasn’t just taking the safe route. Too scared to even pull the goalie until it’s way too late because why? Scared of hurting his feelings? Chipman and Chevy meddling too much in hockey ops?
But raally though, what’s the point, even if they make the playoffs next year who can honestly get excited about that when this group has proven time and time again that they cannot get it done when it matters.
The stink starts from the top down, and I don’t know if it’s Chevy or Chipman, but this isn’t the group to lead us anywhere. Another potential good season wasted away in pathetic fashion. Kudos Chevy, Kudos.

I do not think it is coaching. I think it is the players in fact the play on the ice shows who it is!!
Thanks for the message. You are lucky that your starts are showing up. The Jets are a passive team. Ehlers led them in hits that is all that has to be said about the Jets effort vs your squad. It must be nice to see them protect an average goalie with such aggressive and fast play whereas the Jets leave Helly out to dry. Good luck in round two., however I think it will be a stiffer challenge than this NHL vs AHL series.I am an Avs fan, coming in peace.

I agree they may need a new style coach but unless they improve team speed they will be fodder for teams like Dal and Col. I thought it was bittersweet when they signed Scheif because despite his all world talent his no match for the Mackinnon's or McDavid's of the world so it is hard to build a team around himIt definitely is on some of those players but to be fair we've tried for the exact same type of old school coach each time. Maybe they need to shift their coaching philosophy because for better or for worse we are stuck with this core for another half a decade.
