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

[John Mandalorian]

And when "Colorado" was still the Jefferson Territory.

Colorado has done a lot of “ moving’ on up” since then.

Just a guess but have you been watching TSN?

No, haven’t been able to watch much of anything in about a month besides the odd hockey game because of finals. Why?

Because it seemed to fit with frequent discussion points.

I’m sure someone has said this but highest point total combined in any 1st round series.

By that standard it will be the best.

jets in 6

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Jets in 4, no point in drawing it out.

Unless management wants to scrape for more cash; seat sales.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Jets should win, but in the playoffs anything can happen and especially in round 1.
My concern for my Jets is special teams.
Avs goaltending is their Achilles heel.
Don’t take the Avs lightly.
I’m hoping we win in 6

 

[John Mandalorian]

Have zero confidence in Georgiev. Even if he starts off well, it will be a one off.

It will be interesting to see how long they stick with Georgiev when he struggles.

 

[NoelVilla]

Jets in 7. Hellebuyck over Georgiev.

Jets in 7. Hellebuyck over Georgiev.

If it goes 7 games, don’t be surprised if it’s Hellebuyck and Annunen by then.

Bednar can be stubborn though too.

Actually, I don't think anyone pointed that out. Good observation.

Cheering on the Jets but I have a sinking feeling the Avs will take it in 7

 

[Hobble]

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.

Bold of you to assume we can afford cable.

Bednar can be stubborn though too.

In other words Bednar is a dope.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Bold of you to assume we can afford cable.

Or a TV.

 

[McDrai]

The deciding factor in this matchup will be goaltending. Can Hellebuyck stand on his head against the Avs elite players? Will Georgiev be pulled early and Annunen come in to provide some solid goaltending between the pipes? This series will be very intriguing

I assumed CBC is OTA

jets lit them both up for 3+ and gave up two or less all season.

The Avs feel like the Oilers from 21-22, can score a ton but also allow a ton. It’s too volatile of a way to win 4 straight series but kind of impossible to predict when the collapse will come. I feel like we could beat the best team in the league in a 7 game series then turn around and be swept by the worst.

Wouldn’t go that far. But he’s defended Georgiev’s usage for a while. Sometimes when you defend something for a while, you commit yourself to it more and more. Not to mention, he might feel an obligation to stick with him longer than he should because he’s relied on him so much...it would feel wrong.

There are other players who were heavily relied on who he owes something to though.

I used to praise Bednar for his willingness to mix it up when things weren't going right. Nowadays he just doubles down until his hand is forced by something, ie. injury.

No Drouin… f***…

LOL!

Our depth disappeared so fast.
