Yeah they played great defense the past two games.
Allowing 6 goals and following it up with 5.
Might even defend well enough to give up only 4 next game.
Georgiev is outplaying Hellebuyck through 2. Which is wild after the Game 1 he had.

About time the talking heads start talking about Hellebuycks play off game.
He has been average to junk his last six post season starts. Going 1-5 with a 4.50 gaa. In his one win he gave up a half dozen.
I also remember the Jets out playing the Knights in 2018 seminfinals. But Hellebuyck couldn't give them a save while Fluery stood on his head at the other end. Eliminating the Jets.

RIP, Jimmy.
Still not super confident with Georgiev and that glove hand, but I'll take that result.
The Jets D def has to tighten things up, but Hellebuyck also has not been good enough for the standard he is held to. No doubt he has made some good, timely saves, but at the end of the day the #s are the #s thus far. He has to be better.

I thought he was really good minus one goal where he misplayed the puck.
Avs are an awesome team.

Avs have outplayed the Jets and deserve at least the split IMO....Jets need to win games 2-1 or 3-2 in this series if they are playing their game...Question is can they do that because to this point they have not shown they can.

From the depth guys and the dmen for sure.
MacKinnon and especially Rantanen have another level or 2 they can get to.

No Drouin or Girard + Rantanen has been invisible.
There’s another level or two to go.
I very much disagree. Was nice for them to get depth scoring but they scored 5 without Mack, Makar, or Rantanen tallying a goal. Those guys getting going will be more of their A game.

MacKinnon and Rantanen haven't even gotten going yet, my guy.
Avs with the last change is going to be huge. Lowry has done a pretty damn good job limiting MacKinnon, I seriously doubt Monahan is going to have the same luck.

They don't need to score to have a good game. Colorado had a very good forecheck with all of their lines and yes and if mack starts filling the net it's going to get ugly. Jets have another gear but who knows if they can get it going.

True. And Mittlestadt's line has been very good against Scheifele's line.

This is nothing new. Despite his numbers I can't recall a time when Rantanen has consistently taken over playoff games/series. In the Cup year he was invisible for entire series at a time - we won the Blues series on the back of Kadri more than anyone. I say he's been 'ok' thus far and can definitely provide some timely snipes but I get flack from a large portion of the Avs fanbase when I suggest Nichuskin is the more important player. Last night was a prime example.
Unless he really turns it on and is a main reason we move on in some series this year there's no way I feel comfortable paying his demands past this contract. If he does though, I'll be the first to sing his praises - he's just super overrated right now. ESPN commentators were saying he 'looked a little off' last night when it was probably above his average play all season - just goes to show how he's perceived on the outside vs. the reality of his nightly performances. Can't only show up every 5th game.

Rantanen will eventually show up. And even if he doesn't take over, he's going to produce.
Here's a fact some people don't remember (or don't want to remember): he outscored MacKinnon during the cup run.

Good Luck to the Avalanche against those douche bag cheats from Vegas in round 2.
It's definitely surprising to see, but I imagine it's just a small sample anomaly that hasn't had a chance to work itself out yet instead of Helle having any issue with the postseason. If he wants to wait another 5 games before the correction, that'd be cool with me though.

Unpredictable series. Those who thought Helly not going play any worse after letting in 6 in game 1 were wrong
Not going to make any predictions or make any bets
Just try to watch the games and accept that the better team will win the series
