WCQF (Game 2) Winnipeg Jets vs Colorado Avalanche , 9:30pm ET, ESPN

[Ararana]

I also don’t think there will be lead changes. So low scoring and steady IMO.

If Avs score first 3-2 avs, vice versa for if jets score first.

Of course - the wild card is Georgiev.

7-2 jets won’t surprise me. 7-2 Avs feels next to impossible to me after last game.

You never know though!

Should be fun atmosphere regardless!

Jets go up 2-0. Avs score early in the third but give up the empty netter.

I've followed this team long enough to know how this goes.

I suspect both teams will play a much tighter game tonight and clean up most of their defensive errors. But too much talent on both teams to be 1-0 game, so I'm saying over under of 5 goals in the game

 

[McFlyingV]

Avs better hope their backup is over his illness and Georgiev doesn't see the ice again.

 

[Avs2022]

Gonna be the comeback the of decade when we go down 3-0 in the series. Annum starts game 4, and we win 4 straight. All by the score of 2-1 in double OT.

 

[Avsfan1921]

More of the same please!

Please no!

There is a small chance that George rebounds, he’s got the skill it’s his head that is the problem. Hopefully he’s able to at least help keep the series competitive. If he struggles again immediately, Bednar can’t hesitate to pull him and sink any chance they have.

"More" implies that there was "some" in game one.

We’re well aware lol.

I think its a jets win, the avs will be told to tighten up on defense, which will take away from their offence. The Jets will be told to tighten up on defense, so this will be a low scoring game, something the jets want. Helly usually is a beast the game after a bad one. Jets win 3-2

Last game Jets won 7-6. Cool. But Jets have two problems to deal with:

1. They won't continue to average 7 goals a game.

2. Avalanche will continue to average 6 goals a game.

Colorado in 5.

Well, of all the ways to look at this series...that's definitely...one of them.

Both points are speculation, which by definition makes them questionable at best, and ridiculous at worst.

Without even a deep analysis. we know that the Jets have scored seven goals in two straight games against the Avalanche, while the Avalanche only scored four goals all season against the Jets. The odds make it more likely that the Jets score seven than the Avalanche score six.

Personally, I don't think either team will score seven (or six) goals tonight, and probably not again in the entire series, but who knows? Playoff hockey is just insane enough that we could have a 1-0 game, won by Colorado.

We'll see, I guess.

I'd be willing to bet the jets chances of scoring 7 against georgiev is higher than the avs scoring 6 on hellebuyk

Justus Annunen is the way. Time to see the light.

Justus Annunen is the way. Time to see the light.

Is he ever coming back?

 

[forsbergavs32]

Is he ever coming back?

Once he’s done being down with the sickness

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Once he’s done being down with the sickness

Needs to be by game 3. Prosvetov is crap. No point replacing Georgiev with him if he is bad again.

Every Avs fan is collectively hoping he’s ready Friday.

IMO if Georgiev lets in a couple quick ones again tonight you have to put Prosvetov in. The Avs probably have more trust in him than Georgiev at this point.

I hope so!

Anything can happen - should be a close game again - but low scoring. lol.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

What do Georgiev and the Titanic have in Common?


They both look good until they hit the ice!

 

[Grigowski]

Not tonight. Georgiev confirmed.

Avs have no one better than Georgiev?
It’s going be a long night for Avs if he starts off shaky.

 

[tucker3434]

Will the Jets be the first team in history to have more goals than shots? Tune in at 9:30 to find out.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

It sounds like Georgiev is getting the start again. Can't see his teammates having any faith in him.

 

[larmex99]

Yeah, Jets totally suck. No shooters, no goalies, no defense and no hope of beating the mighty Avs.

Back it up with a bet and post the receipt

 

[gretzkyoilers]

Score will be 4-2 Jets and the 4th goal will be an EN

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

10-9 Avalanche win

 

[jetsforever]

I'll never be calm when Playoff MacKinnon is on the other end of the ice.
