WCQF: Game 1 - Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets, 7pm ET - ESPN2

[D Wakaluk]

Definitely a crazy period!

I’m gonna order McDonald’s now if anyone wants anything

Thanks bruh. McChickenhead and more cheap whiskey

 

[SenzZen]

A save. Georgiev made a save. Wow.

Historically, that’s a bad omen for the Avs.

It means a goal against is coming!

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

What a game, the rest of the league really gets to see how bad Georgiev is. I'd take any other goalie in the NHL, any single one, over this trash can.

 

[jigglysquishy]

Stressful period.

Makar has to be hurt. He looked flat footed all period.

Jets didn't look great. Some big defensive lapses from Colorado on goals 2 and 3.

 

[Avs2022]

Reminds of the 8-6 Oilers/Avs western conference finals game 1 when Avs won cup.

 

[biturbo19]

I did not have this pegged as the series that would turn into one of those classic chaotic barn burner Penguins vs Flyers series'. lol.

 

[Jojalu]

I don't know how fans of the two teams feel, but that was one hell of a period

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Best game of the playoffs so far. Both teams realized the playoffs had started.

Amazingly there are many goalies in the NHL as bad as him,

He’s been like that for a while. Our fanbase, all quality physicians mind you, expect he will have an off season surgery.

 

[Dust]

I'd like to order 2 more of whatever that just was, please.

Done. We'll swap you Jack Campbell.

Funny enough he might actually perform better than this sieve.

 

[NyQuil]

Best game of the playoffs so far. Both teams realized the playoffs had started.

Sort of has that pre-season exhibition game level puck management though.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Great first, one of the best matchups.

 

[Eltuna]

This is a fun game both teams are allergic to defense lol

Avs defence actually played pretty well other than Mansons gaffe, Jets have a pretty good offence and they limited them to 3 scoring chances, 8 shots, and only 14 shots directed at the net. Georgiev just let all three scoring chances in.

Avs ended the period with the same amount of scoring chances as the Jets had shots

 

[PromisedLand]

I need a cigarette after that period, wow.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Georgiyev matching Helle so far.

 

[McFlyingV]

He’s been like that for a while. Our fanbase, all quality physicians mind you, expect he will have an off season surgery.

One would hope so. Hard to explain his defensive play falling off a cliff this season otherwise.

Justus?

 

[Jojalu]

Amazingly there are many goalies in the NHL as bad as him,

At this point I would trade Samsonov straight up for him

 

[Terrier]

Wish hockey fans would just be honest with themsleves and admit they like when no one plays defense and goalies can't make a save

That's what lacrosse is for, it's the national game.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Sort of has that pre-season exhibition game level puck management though.

I think they're just playing so much faster than usual that mistakes are happening.

 

[thaman8765678]

Just play Annunen, he can't possibly be any worse. This should be a 3-0 type game.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Ok, Avalanche. Time to trust your better goalie. Annunen in!

 

[Three On Zero]

It’s sure a shame one of these two teams has to be eliminated in the 1st round
