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

[v00d00daddy]

Makar pinching and losing the puck to a guy with no stick to give up a two on one. Then Georgiev opening up his 5 hole for an easy one.

Interesting way to look at the start of that 2 on 1.

Makar was interfered with. Missed call led to the 2 on 1

I will say, it’s not entirely on the goalie. When you play a system like the Avs do, you live and die by the sword. Not many goalies could survive the amount of odd man chances against they surrender.

It’s very akin to Lindy Ruff hockey

I mean we've given up 17 shots. And have 4 goals against.... The D's been fine overall I'd say.

Hard disagree. 1st goal sure wasn't D's fault. / 2nd goal was a pass right up the middle from ur D / goal 3 , both d infront of the net . no one blocked the pass or tied up the free man standing there. / goal 4. D got caught at the blue line and gave up a 2 on 1.

It feels like a fairly decent amount of time the scouting reports don’t get it right because of small sample sizes making things wonky. But tonight is dead on what I expected this series to be. I like the Avs’ game overall. Georgiev isn’t going to make the big save. Helly is.

I should have tried out for goalie for Colorado. Could just have just sat in the splits and hoped for the best!!

PPL are excited in Van, breaking news~!

They dont call it the LEASTern conference for nothing

Shockingly the Canucks couldn't beat out 3 LEASTern conference teams during the regular season.

 

[John Mandalorian]

The problem is there were very few goalies available and they would cost the moon. Allen could have been had for a 2nd. He shouldn't have been the 1st choice but if nothing else materialized he would have been a decent add.

Pass then. Doesn’t he have an extra year?

Only in Vancouver?

I mean there have been mistakes for sure, but I don't think asking for a save% over 60% through the first 4 goals is to much.

Don't know if the ESPN broadcast showed it, but Neiderreiter has no stick so he grabs Makar's with this hands just as the puck comes. Right in front of the whole Avalanche bench. But how would anyone see that right in front of the puck.

Not even all game 1s have been played and already sick of all these commercials.

Yeah it wasn’t on purpose cause Niederietter was skating to the bench for a new stick and happened to get in the way.

Several high danger chances, some turnovers. But yes, I'd say the D has been fine.

Hard pass on allen forever. Please stop bringing him up. Please.

I didn't know Caleb Jones was still in the league, surprised he's still kicking around.

 

[red devil]

Mackinnon was flying and almost shelfed it

 

[hereforthememes]

That is some amazing sports reporting!

 

[Puckstop40]

I appreciate ESPN trying to lift George’s spirits up.

Just tuned into the avs jets game then turned it off. Announcers are trash.

C'mon NHL do better!

Mac is scarier than Mcdavid when he does that

MacK is simply breathtaking.

Holding the stick is a penalty. Funny how ESPN and the refs didn't see it but random Makar fans on HFBoards saw it.

Mack went to plaid there

Jets goal!!
