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

[TheForsbergShow]

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.

 

[Mr Kot]

Nice thread you got here...

Would be a shame if someone took a massive dump on it...

 

[Ginger Papa]

As much as I’ve enjoyed visiting with the Avs Board in the past, the Jets Board is family to me

Jets in 6.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Jets went 3-0 against the Avs this season.

7-0
6-2
4-2

They won both games in Denver and outscored the Avs by 13 in 3 games.

Flames swept them in the season series in 2019 I think then they beat us in 5.

Playoffs are a different beast

As an Oiler fan who watched Hellebyuck 'goalie' us, this is probably the scariest round 1 matchup due to how much one goalie can change the complexion of a series.

Helle went 3-0 against the Avs this year with a 1.33 GAA and .958%

Those are some terrifying numbers. If you can solve him? Get in his head?


But those are some generous odds.

The Jets are the only Canadian team that play defense, will be a tough one.

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.

Pionk also played way above his usual level in that series and was all over McDavid.

Jets went 3-0 against the Avs this season.

7-0
6-2
4-2

They won both games in Denver and outscored the Avs by 13 in 3 games.

I feel like that's proof enough and we should just automatically advance, no?

Georgiev vs Hellebuyck. Damn I don't like Jets chances here

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I know the Jets are 3-0, but over the years I can confidently say that regular season results mean diddly squat come playoff time.

 

[BobRossColton]

Georgiev vs Hellebuyck. Damn I don't like Jets chances here

Hellebuyck is going to need some thievery.

 

[bobholly39]

There's a tiny chance it might extend to 5 games, but I'm thinking most likely outcome is Avs in 4

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Should be a fun one!

 

[BlueDream]

Today’s game is a sign of things to come. Easy series win for Winnipeg.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

The Avs are obviously super talented and have done it before. But they also have Fourgiev, so this may be the Jets tbh.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Regular season results don't mean nearly as much when the 1st 2 games had a pretty different Avs roster. It's going to be a very close series, and some of the predictions in here are just outlandish

 

[Kiorei]

Going JETS. Don't know what happened to the Avs but their defense is ass this year. I don't get it. Not a whole lot has changed year to year. Should be a fun series though.

Hi. I'm a Jackets fan.

2019.

 

[Viqsi]

Also, we now have a poll.

 

[avsfan9]

I think the Avs are going to bow out in the first round again. Hope I’m wrong but something is not right in Denver.

 

[Perratrooper]

Rick Bowness always coaches well against Bednar, I feel like the Jets have a large system advantage. Mix in the subpar goaltending and poor defensive play the Avs have had this year all have me leaning Jets.

As an Avs fan I hope I’m wrong.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Avs fans certainly aren't confident after today's game and their general play over the past week. I doubt you'll see much trash talking from our side prior to game 1.

I'll be rooting for the winner of this series to come out of the West.

Jets went 3-0 against the Avs this season.

7-0
6-2
4-2

They won both games in Denver and outscored the Avs by 13 in 3 games.

Calgary swept the RS series aginst Colorado in 2019.

We lost in 5. Anyways I take Jets in 7, but this will be a toughy.

I won't, mostly because Nashville and homerism.

OTOH, I'm hoping for Colorado this series, if only because they're practically the Jackets by proxy at this point.
