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

[Czechboy]

Came home.. saw the score and the first thing I checked was...

Ouch.

 

[North Cole]

LMAO sub 0.700 goaltending. Ain't winning shit

The Avs defense was atrocious too.


Did you watch or did you just see the shot count?

I watched Lowry come down the wing and score the easiest goal of his career. I watched the goalie be completely useless all game. Make a damn save.

Georgiev has a 6.42 GA and .785 save percentage in 3 starts against the Jets this year

Avs are better off playing with an extra man and an empty net for 60 minutes.

That's gotta be awkward.. Allen nearly traded to Colorado, now on the panel watching their goaltending implode

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

What? Who had Jets in 4 against the Avs? I'm betting it's nowhere close to "most people"....

Most Avs fans who have been watching the games knew that Jets were a HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY favorite, and expected Jets to win handily. Many of the people predicting the Avs are people who were not watching the Avalanche at the end of the season.

LOL geo shit the bed, guys blows.

Very entertaining game that had a lot of weird and wacky stuff to it. Reminds me of the good old 1980s Campbell Conference games. I will say that Colorado should think twice about putting Georgiev in for game 2. He is just not mentally strong and does not take setbacks well - this has been fairly consistent over the past number of years. I am sure the Rangers are breathing a sigh of relief. He will be a detriment to Colorado (and himself) if they play him again.

If this is the Avs playing bad, scoring almost 7 on Jets and Helkeybuck, oh boy

I think both team had far from a good night tbh.
Hdcf are 7 to 10. Not great defense on either side

Yeah, but that's typical fan pessimism. Despite the goalie situation, there's no way I would count the Avs out that easily.

Next game Helle will definitely outplay whatever garbage the Avs put in net. He is Vezina quality despite one bad game.

Avs put almost 50 shots on net though and they have elite snipers like Mckinnon, Ranrannen, Mittlestadt, Makar etc. Helleybuck even in his elite form can do only so much facing 50 against elite shooters. I would easily say the Avs shooters are more lethal than what teams like Oilers have even with McDavid

Avs outplayed the Jets this game hands down. I don't think that continues. If the Jets are outplayed 60% to 40% they win because of goaltending. Because Avs goaltending is beyond embarrassing.

Fun series for the fans for pure entertainment but the worst for coaches. The winner from this series will get destroyed in the next round when they face a real team that can actually play defense.

Series thread is now open.

WCQF: Winnipeg Jets Vs. Colorado Avalanche (COL lead 3-1)

After losing 7-0 today in what many said was a playoff game, avs are already down 1 in the series and will lose the remaining 3. What a waste of 7 days this will be.

Maybe Avs could bring one of their AHL goalies up. I mean it cant get worst than that

They will never see that many chances in a game again.

The Jets did not play their game at all. Next game the systems will tighten up dramatically.
