Post-Game Talk: Avs 6 - Jets 3, Avs win Series 4-1

[WpgSteve]

I felt we could have won this one. Too bad we didn't see the same effort the last three games. That said, I think the Jets were doomed no matter what with the way the Avs were playing.

Still a good season. Looking forward to next year, hopefully with a new coach and a few new faces.

 

[Andy6]

That was one of the toughest opponents I've seen in any playoff series in 50 years of watching them. There was just nothing they could have done. They gave it all they had. It doesn't feel as bad as losing one they could have won.

I don't think enough credit is being given to the Avs

They really are damn good team.

 

[Jets]

If they're going to make Arniel the head coach, at the very least I hope they bring in a younger, energetic, up and coming guy to run the special teams.

If we had even top 15 PP and PK, the season and the playoffs turn out a lot differently.

Has the Chevy contract extension been announced yet?

It's coming after the Bowness, Lauer and Arniel ones. Throw in Pionk as well.

Better players trying just as hard as players not as good is tough to stop. I hear ya.

 

[Do or Die]

Our D.....needs a makeover....

 

[Buffdog]

Just use the laugh emoji, it's all you can do.

People do it to me all the time @MardyBum

A shame that we didn’t make adjustments earlier. Miller Scmidt pairing looked good.
Just not enough offense from our top players. Couldn’t our score the goals we were giving up.
I have no faults in Helles game.

A wholesale coaching staff change may be a breath of fresh air. I liked Bones but his job is done.

 

[moosehead81]

Just about any other play-off team in the conference would have been a better match up for the Jets. If the goaltending holds up for the Avs', they'll go to the finals.

Final IC Post-Game of the Year starts now. Come be part of the discussion here.

Well I guess we atleast didn't give up and lay an egg in this elimination game. Still another pathetic playoff showing by this group.

Bones went out coaching the way he wanted to in the end. Back to CSV and Toffoli on the second.

Happy Cole got a game and some playoff experience. Looked pretty good for his first game and looks like he can handle the speed and grit just fine.

This org needs to figure out if they can take this core and get it over the hump in the playoffs. The first thing they need to do is manage Mark and Helle's minutes. Neither was good enough. We also need to get support for JoMo, he can't do it all on his own.

In the end I'm pretty disappointed in how this year ended, and in this team. Too many duds in the playoffs, Ehlers again with a poor series. Chevy struck out hard at the deadline as his acquisitions where non existent at best.

I don't want the coaching staff back and we need to make changes to the dcore. I'd be fine moving on from Chevy as well and bringing in some new thinking.

 

[raideralex99]

I don’t watch playoff hockey once the Jets are out but I’m going to watch the next series the Avs play to see how many penalties they get and see them get knock around.
Seriously the few times the Jets did hit them they laid on ice like they were shot.

 

[tbcwpg]

Hope we've seen the last of 27, 4, 73 on the roster. Too bad Rutger couldn't wait to see how the team ended the year because his concern of no spots available up front should be resolved after that display.

Worst thing Chevy can do is treat those 5 games as a small sample size and fall back on the regular season to judge the team.

 

[None]

Has the Chevy contract extension been announced yet?

They'll leak it half way through next season like they did last time because they're afraid of how people will react.

 

[Orrrules]

This team was never going to go far, just too buttery soft.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Like I said after last game. The avs fans should be very happy they have this team. Some incredible talent.

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

End of season presser will be real interesting

im looking fwd to the post game interview

 

[Flair Hay]

More brains, more speed, needed.

Yeah we have a couple too many slow guys despite them all being solid players.

A center like MacKinnon or a dman like Makar wouldn't hurt either

 

[bustamente]

I don't think enough credit is being given to the Avs

They have players we could only dream of having, this series was like bringing a knife to a gun fight

 

[Keystone]

I’ll take some solace in that they played pretty damn hard against a great team tonight and the officiating was sure questionable at times. Some of the adjustments in lineup and breakouts could have come earlier.
I feel way better than after last year tbh. A few changes in the off season will be welcome.

Are you sure ?

Ok, Ok, one more.

Coelacanth post of the evening.

@snowkiddin

"On NHL 24 I traded Schmidt for Bedard and a 1st (ended up being Celebrini), so I would be looking at something like that this off-season."

Not sure why but this just slays.
