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

[Skidooboy]

Right, like this is probably coming from someone in the mid West in America who burns coal for electricity. We have enough hydro to power a Dyson sphere.

Dyson Sphere? .....NEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRD!!!!!!! LOL

Avs in6

 

[TheDeuce]

Will Winnipeg reduced tickets prices so fans will show up? These games will be on TV and empty seats would look bad.

I’d like to be interested in watching round 2 so Avs in 6.

The entire first round is sold out (save for a few singles, late releases, and resale tickets).

The four resale tickets on the glass behind the Jets' bench that were listed for $1,064 each sold yesterday.

I don't know where this attendance crap comes from. Maybe from fans of other teams who are jealous of the magnificence that is the White Out?

Last 10 games for Alexandar Georgiev:

4/14 vs Vegas: 4 goals on 30 shots
4/13 vs Jets: 4 goals on 15 shots
4/9 vs Wild: 2 goals on 22 shots
4/7 vs Dallas: 6 goals on 36 shots
4/5 vs Oilers: 6 goals on 46 shots
3/30 vs Preds; 4 goals on 13 shots
3/28 vs Rags: 2 goals on 25 shots
3/24 vs Pens: 4 goals on 34 shots
3/22 vs Jackets: 1 goal on 24 shots
3/16 vs Oil: 2 goals on 34 shots

Avs have to very very very heavily outshoot the Jets to compete because they're praying Georgiev gets them .900 goaltending. I take Jets in 5.

They should just play Annunen. His stats are way better recently. Since February 1st .93 save% and 2.11 GAA, 7 wins 4 losses.

Hey troll, the Jets have never not sold out a playoff game. Inform yourself.

He's a Leafs fan, just ignore him. Everyone knows how the Leafs do in the playoffs.

He's not any better they just feed him all of the bad teams.

 

[paragon]

.93 vs .856 in same time span. I don't care if he's playing all the bad teams. Georgiev has been beyond abysmal since February.

I’d like to be interested in watching round 2 so Avs in 6.

The Rest of Canada is also interested in round 2 so Boston in 4!

Should be an interesting series.

Colorado showed in 2022 you don’t need a top tier goalie to win the cup, but it was because of their defense. The d corps is relatively close to the same as that cup win year, but you couldn’t tell in the regular season.

I give the advantage to Colorado based on how they’ve shown they can turn it up in the playoffs. Not to mention they are still a top tier team with an MVP finalist and (potentially) a Norris finalist in their lineup. That said, Helly has the ability to win games for his team. Georgiev doesn’t have that ability at all. So that’s a huge advantage for Winnipeg.

Colorado in 6.

sure Jets lit him up too.

The NHL playoffs are looking a lot like Free Agency this year.....
Nobody wants to go to Winnipeg.

 

[Avsfan1921]

That’s pretty much all Manitoba has.

Wait, isn’t Winnipeg in skasch …. Sakska…. That other province???

i’ll have you know we were a province when Saskatchewan was still just a river in the Northwest terrtories!

 

[Nineteen67]

The Rest of Canada is also interested in round 2 so Boston in 4!

I’d have no problem with Boston advancing, in fact the Blues and Bruins series was the best SCF in yrs, imo.

Just trolling to get a reaction. We had some bad attendance to start this year but for good reasons honestly. More teams fans should just not show up when the team under performs and you might actually see management do something about it.

[My3Sons]

This should be a great series. Hopefully both teams are at full strength.

 

[Zalos]

Looking at the last stretch of the season, and with Hellebuyck in net, Winnipeg should be an easy pick. Yet, I still have trouble going against Colorado when they have MacKinnon and Makar, as well as the experience of winning the Cup recently.

I'm going to go with Winnipeg in 7. Time for that group to do something in the playoffs!

Did you attend the same school as Lauren Boebert?

 

[larmex99]

Wait, isn’t Winnipeg in skasch …. Sakska…. That other province???

No. You can tell the difference because Saskatchewan has internet and several airports…..

 

[olli]

Jets in 6. If Avs play well they are the better teams (as a jets fan) but Hellebuyck is the difference here.

 

[Spirits]

.93 vs .856 in same time span. I don't care if he's playing all the bad teams. Georgiev has been beyond abysmal since February.

And they are still NHL teams.

This team is a shell of that 2022 team and Makar is having a major down year.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Jets are the best defensive team in the league in terms of GA, but the Canucks and Oilers are both in the top 7 for that metric. All three teams are top 10 in the league in xGA/60, with Winnipeg actually being the worst of the three at 10th.

I have Jets in 6, don't trust Georgiev and the Colorado depth is nowhere near where it used to be.

Just a guess but have you been watching TSN?

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

I don't trust Georgie but still have the avs. Likely goes 6 or 7 games and I expect lots of scoring even with Helly on the other side.

I could be wrong and Helly could just steal the series. Jets are very good with taking advantage of their opportunities so will be a good series to watch.

 

[Andy6]

i’ll have you know we were a province when Saskatchewan was still just a river in the Northwest terrtories!

And when "Colorado" was still the Jefferson Territory.

 

[stranger]

The only way the Jets lose is if Georgiev steals at least 2 games. I don't see it.
