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

[AVSfan2daMAX]

I remember in 2022 the Avs made Vasilevskiy look average and they're making Hellebuyck look average so far.

Can't think the Jets are super confident having to come to Denver and no longer able to match Lowry with MacKinnon

Lol at Altitude post game. Acting like George stole this game for the Avs... It was a total team effort and George made the saves he needed to. But he hardly stole it.

 

[MaKarter]

Georgiev was sharp and quick tonight.

 

[BobRossColton]

Duhaime needs a little more ice time, it might keep him from taking penalties, get some of that energy out from sitting.

GREAT bounce back game. I didn't like Mack and Mikko much but everyone else was good. Kiviranta, Wood, Makar, Manson were probably the best players.

Props to George, I didn't like the first goal but he settled in and made some great saves, hopefully this gives him some confidence.

George has allowed 9 goals in 2 games
Hellebuyck has allowed 11

Through two games I have been super impressed what Kiviranta has brought. Gritty play and some offense. He isn't perfect but it's been close for a third liner.

Josh Manson is a good interview. Nice guy.

Josh Manson talking about how in Anaheim if the team scores 4(?) goals in a game they gave out coupons for free chicken and if they did that in Denver ‘they’d be giving out a lot of chicken’ is one of my all time favourite mic’ed up moments. He’s an absolute gem

 

[Avs2022]

Gun to the head. This or Bulgaria. George showed up and played solid. Props to the guy and props to the guys in front of him especially the depth guys tonight. Honestly, when was the last time the depth players won the Avs a playoff game?

When the depth line was Messier-Podein-Yelle.

Makar looked great.
Manson too. Colton and Wood are also money in the playoffs.

Mackinnon has been okay. Hit a couple posts already and hasn’t dominated yet but he’s still been pretty good imo. Atleast doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentence as Rantanen. I really don’t know what the hell is up with him. Can’t even receive a pass without fumbling it and losing every single board battle

 

[sethro109]

I'm just impatient. They updated the goal. Makar and Mikko got an assist on Nuke's tally.

Through two games I have been super impressed what Kiviranta has brought. Gritty play and some offense. He isn't perfect but it's been close for a third liner.

Even if he hasn't scored yet, we're seeing what we saw in that series against Dallas, except he's on our side this time.

 

[Sea Eagles]

That games not only made me a little frisky, hot damned I'm going to sleep well tonight. In fact, may even break the junk food rule, and have a glass of wine !!!

 

[drhiii]

Feels good to have a win.

Thats future Conn Smythe winner Mikko to you. Every point matters.

 

[AvBuff]

Let's give AG credit: that was the biggest game of his professional life. His career was literally on the line tonight.

And he delivered.

 

[ANewHope]

Awesome to see George actually look solid. Team looked great. Really just a question of what kinda play your getting in net going forward. Everything else is cup level.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Whatta ya know..... the Avs CAN play team defense......! lol

 

[chet1926]

George all the credit in the world, he was the man tonight, and he deserved that. Incredible performance considering the situation.

94 deserves props he was a monster fighting for every inch out there. Kivaranta was a fighter tonight.

Overall nice win, did what it took to win. On to the next one.

[chet1926]

Whatta ya know..... the Avs CAN play team defense......! lol

And George came up with saves when they did F up. It's amazing when that happens

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

MacKinnon will eat on home ice. Lowry won't be matched up against him

 

[AvsMakar08]

Yeah. Great win.

 

[Freudian]

Jets are playing well against MacKinnon. They don't give him a lot of ice to work with. Eventually he'll break through.

Georgiev played really well after a little bit shaky first period. He settled down and came up with big saves when needed.

 

[jabubenice]

hopefully g3 mack and the 1st line show up and dominate... we are the better team
