Series Talk: WCQF: (C3) Colorado Avalanche vs (C2) Winnipeg Jets | Avs Win 4-1

[Freaky Styley]

The Avs speed (ability to play fast - not just skating) has turned this series into a carpet bombing. Winnipeg players look seriously shell shocked. This is what the Avs can be when Bednar and MacFarland are in alignment.



@Sea Eagles

Hmm.. who could have seen this coming??

Winnipeg has been playing .500 hockey since the beginning of March. They just lost 6 straight before their recent 3 game win streak. They've got some nice players for sure, but outside of Connor no one really strikes fear into me. Of course Hellebuyck can steal a game or 2 but so can Saros. We outclass them at every position. Their D in particular isn't a strength.

They have to catch us first. Nashville plays the same high-paced game and keep up with us. Winnipeg has some big bodies but so do we and we can skate circles around them.

Obviously Nashville doesn't scare me much when we are playing like this either, but they would have been a bigger pain IMO. Just glad we've flicked the switch and was never scared of Winnipeg. Was more afraid of Georgiev.

Remember when Bowness "had Bednar's number" because he beat him in a bubble series where the Avs were missing a quarter of their lineup?

Nice call. But this seems more like an indictment of Winnipeg than an affirmation of Colorado and it’s substantial qualities.

Again, you made a nice call. But it foresees Winnipeg as an also ran. The Avs might actually be more formidable than eliminating Winnipeg.

Reveal the names of the voters, cowards!

I was an “Avs in 6” guy.

 

[MonsterMack]

Meh, I was a Jets in 6 because I was sick of 4geiv and I voted after the first game.

Jets in 5 because way to prove me wrong so far (outside game 1) Georgie. Couldn’t be happier to be wrong

I voted Jets in 4. Sticking with it

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I voted Avs in 6. Now I need to beg for forgiveness at underrating this team. Avs in 5.

Same

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

Avs in 6 because as always people severely overestimate the regular season. 2-4 game season series are tiny sample sizes.

Lastly, never underestimate the heart of champions. Not every team knows how to win.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I had the Avs in 4. Still do as a matter of fact.

 

[Polite HKYDiscussion]

I picked Avs in 4 and I’m going to miss it by just one goal.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Went Avs in 7 just because of the uncertainty with George

I just changed my vote to Avs in 5, so why don't you have as much faith as me?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I picked Avs in 5 because I had no idea the poll was there until I read the last few posts.

 

[dahrougem2]

I said Jets in 5 because I am a brittle fellow

 

[JH21]

It’s embarrassing to see that poll.

More Avs fans picked the Jets to win than us and most jumped on the Georgiev bandwagon to slam him so they could all say the same thing. Like usual.

It’s so embarrassing. I sure hope the players don’t read this forum.

I picked Jets in 5, the recency bias was strong.

It’s so embarrassing. I sure hope the players don’t read this forum.

If they do I want them to know I'm a . Please mods un-censor this for posterity.

Jets in four.

Dude you take things way too seriously. Most of the Avalanche forum votes are for fun.

Let him cook. Clearly the inspiration for how amazing today’s GDT was

Nobody will ever convince me we would have still lost with Nuke in the lineup last season against Seattle. The guy is a warrior. What a player!!!!!

I agree but I think that's known fact. He letdown the team last season.

I doubt we had the energy to go all the way though after the Seattle series.. you can see the team has saved some energy this season for the playoffs. We look dominant again, like 2022.
