GDT: Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets @7:30PM MNT 4/23/24 Game 2: Jets lead series 1-0

[Anders Cain]

Gooder pressure there towards the end. Glad to see George make a few saves

 

[missionAvs]

Man oh man MacK, you need to shoot there.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Hellebuyck ain't giving up more than 3 tonight. But Avs had a much better 2nd half

Three? I'd say no more than one at this rate

 

[The Kingslayer]

Mackinnon used to be the best first round player in hockey.

 

[JWK]

Honestly pretty good period

 

[nightonthesun]

I consider it a win that it’s only 1-0.

They often looked some mix of disjointed, disaffected, and dumb.

Georgiev, I’m not even thinking about anymore. I’m wondering if bednar can rally.

 

[sethro109]

This team looks defeated. I think George killed them last game.

Shots 15-12 Avs

Not a great start but good 2nd half

Considering shots were 2-9 at one point, the momentum is on our side.

Still, George looks rattled AF.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sorry, man, I thought I was on the Jets board.

No worries, as compensation for this small error just let Lowry know he’s an Avs player now

 

[The Pwnerer]

We still look like the better 5 on 5 team. Just got to keep the pressure up.

 

[katfude]

All said and done, the difference in this game is still goaltending.

 

[dahrougem2]

Shots 15-12 Avs

Not a great start but good 2nd half

Shots were 9-2 at one point. Avs outshot them 13-3 after that. Reverse of game 1 except the Avs can't score.

5v5:

Shot attempts 23-14 Avs
Shots 9-7 Avs
Scoring chances 10-9 Avs
High danger chances 6-5 Jets

A fantastic period from Georgiev minus the goal. Avs cannot waste this. Imagine what it does for his morale if he plays well and we win.

 

[GeoRox89]

Yup. Hes probably the one guy I would want on that team not named Ehlers or Hellebuyc

I’d pretty happily swap Morrissey for Toews or Girard

 

[forsbergavs32]

If they keep playing like they did since the PP they'll break through

 

[Balthazar]

This team looks defeated. I think George killed them last game.

They don't. They were the better team this period.

 

[The Kingslayer]

This team looks defeated. I think George killed them last game.

Yup. After the 5th goal you can see them just not caring because their goalie f***ed them. It was so bad that even Makar sent subliminal shots at Fourgiev

 

[Avs9296]

I can't f***ing believe Rantanen and MacKinnon look like they're sulking. You guys get paid like 24 million combined, wake the f*** up. I don't care about your feelings. Start playing hard.

 

[John Mandalorian]

MacK has gone fully into pre-2018 mode

Daft.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I’d pretty happily swap Morrissey for Toews or Girard

All day. Morrissey is what Byram should be.

 

[Puckstop40]

He already went swimming and let one in. He's also had a bunch of horrible rebounds. I don't think he's "stepped up at all".

He has made key saves that would’ve been goals last game. I shit on Georgiev hard when he is terrible. I will make sure he gets praise when he plays well. He’s been better.

 

[sethro109]

They don't. They were the better team this period.

The numbers might support that, but they really don't look like the team that was playing 2 days ago.

 

[nightonthesun]

I can't f***ing believe Rantanen and MacKinnon look like they're sulking. You guys get paid like 24 million combined, wake the f*** up. I don't care about your feelings. Start playing hard.

Hey man. You don’t know what it’s like to make 8 figures okay? You think it’s easy?

 

[The Kingslayer]

I can't f***ing believe Rantanen and MacKinnon look like they're sulking. You guys get paid like 24 million combined, wake the f*** up. I don't care about your feelings. Start playing hard.

I dont blame them. Mackinnon especially is pribably ready to go back to Cole Harbour and rub Sids feet.

 

[Gruyeriev]

This feels like one of those games where we either explode for 5 goals or get completely shut out.

 

[GeoRox89]

If we go down in round 1 then beyond the inevitable goalie swap I really hope Moose is the core shakeup move made. We can’t have a guy that expensive playing this lazy and not even driving his own line
