[Mad Dog Tannen]

Mackinnon showing up is literally the only thing Avs fans can count on right now lol

His 1.7 ppg….per game! ….verify this comment.

You literally can’t stop mackinnon, you can only hopes to contain him.

Schiefele could goon it up and take him out. Who knows

It's a big deal for the Jets to get the home advantage. Being able to get their match ups for Morrissey/Demelo and Appleton/Lowry/Niederreiter is going to be important for them to win.

Curious to see if Jets fans can fill the barn. Attendance has been brutal this season in Winnipeg. They’ve struggled to sellout playoff games in the past.

Guaranteed sellouts.

Mackinnon is the best player in the league and scares the shit out of me every time he has the puck. He can win a couple of games all by himself so i say Jets in 6 . One thing about this Jets team is the depth that they have, if they play like they can this team is 4 lines deep. Going to be a fun series and it sucks that one of these 2 teams will be out in the 1st round.

If the Jets play smart they should take it in 5 or 6.
If they play like their alter pond hockey ego, they will lose.

Jets E Z

Now

Bobble-head nights have been replaced

Lot of people going of recency bias I see. Jets with a beatdown today sure but I dont take revenge factor lightly.

Colorado will remember this. I see Avs in 6

They've never not sold out a playoff game. Christ.

Close matchup, but Colorado's goaltending gives them the edge

The edge in what? Losing?

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Jets in 7. I'm excited for this one.

 

[PromisedLand]

Jets get stuck in the Avalanche and crash

Avs in 6

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.

Playoffs are a completely different beast and goalies get voodoo magic

We can predict all we want but we never know how it will actually go - see Bruins vs Panthers last year

Avs went 1-6 to end the regular season then won the cup in 2022

You guys have 3 cheat codes in MacKinnon, Makat and Rantannen

This Jets team is the best “package” we’ve had since 2018 though so should be a fun one.

On paper,
Avs stars > Jets stars
Avs top 6 > Jets top 6
Jets bottom 6 > Avs bottom 6
Avs top D pair > Jets top D pair
Jets goalies > Avs goalies

Avs will show up ready to play game 1

I know a bunch of you guys have been down on your team lately but it’s still a freaking good team and MacKinnon can absolutely take over a series

Jets strength will be the team system and defensive structure, and we can roll 4 lines which is an advantage in playoffs. Jets weakness is special teams.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

lol MacKinnon has been in playoff mode since Game 1 of the regular season. Once the playoffs start, he will once again kick it into high gear full on throttle. This guy is a machine in the playoffs.

 

[Hunter368]

Going to be a tough series to win for both teams, both teams if playing their A game are very tough to beat. Should be fun to watch!

 

[Finnflash]

I voted jets. As a jets fan I guess I really can’t vote agaist. It’s hard to bet against 2 of the top 5 players in the world IMO though. Hoping for a jets win

 

[GirardIsStupid]

Am I the only one who thinks this series is already sealed for Winnipeg? I don't think the Avalanche won a period against Winnipeg all year.

 

[Gjman2019]

Colorado in 6..

Just as people start doubting them , watch them show up and dominate.....

Hellebuyck could be due for a big performance in the playoffs though ....If that happens then my vote of Av's in 6 will be wrong....Lol

 

[Spirits]

Avs probably lose to Canada's best team, Winnipeg. Sadly.

 

[PhilJets]

Lets GO JETS!!!

Avalanche will be a tough team with their star power.
So don't let them get going!!!

If Helly is dialed in i won't be much worried.

 

[banks]

Voted Jets in 7.

It'll undeniably be close. But Hellebyuck tilts things, and I voted a bit with my heart.

Winnipeg lives for playoffs. The barn will be full to the rafters with 5000 fans on the street outside the arena to boot. The Whiteout will be in full force.
