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

[centipede2233]

This is a perfect example of where I’d rather have a top 5 defence and bottom 10 goalie then a top 5 goalie and a bottom 10 defence

Helly needs to step up

Not trying to be an antagonist. But you start off by saying people make too much of the regular season then end by emphasizing the Avs were the best home team during the regular season.

Agreed that the playoffs are different. That home record isn’t an assurance it will continue in the playoffs.

There's a difference between the 2. The Avs home ice advantage is altitude + a 41 game sample size is much, much more significant. I voted Avs in 7, but now I'm leaning Avs in 6. Overreacting to a 3 game regular season sample size is definitely right on queue with HF though.

The crazy thing is that the jets had the best of both worlds in the regular season. They have a top 3 (best) goalie coming in and a top 5-10 at worst

On another note, I don’t understand their utilization of ehlers. Why does that man play low end 3rd line minutes. He was so similar in production to nylander, but then he’s played 13-15 minutes and his production has dropped a bit. Can jets fans help me out?

If you told me the Avs were going average 5 goals past Helly I’d say you’re crazy.

I know the Avs are a potent offence, but that’s crazy for this year’s likely Vezina winner.

Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.

I gathered that he was mostly hung out to dry tonight and what I did catch of the game confirmed this. What's happened to him otherwise?

He watched the game though.

He watched the game though.

Clearly not. Avs were on the powerplay for the ENTIRE third period. Literally the whole period. If it wasn't for Hellebuyck, the score would have been much worse lol.

Jets aren't going to win any games when they are in the penalty box for 20 minutes.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Classic Refalanche victory getting all the calls in the 3rd period, ultimately deciding the game like that.

Feels like the NHL really has it out for Winnipeg and are favouring Colorado big time.

I mean I was moreso pointing out how it’s been 5 goals a game the Avs have scored on him, but sure.

The only reason this series isn’t 3-0 is because Georgie s*** the bed in game 1.

He watched the game though.

But he's blind...

Jets aren't going to win when their depth, an area many thought they had a huge advantage going into the series, gets completely outplayed by the Avs depth.

Usually not a problem for Hellebuyck tbqh.

I guess that's the Jets saving grace is that Georgiev will eventually s*** the bed again. Afternoon games haven't been good for the Avs this season, so we'll see if it comes on Sunday.

Oh the whining about the refs....yes....you have figured it out...there is a conspiracy against the Jets by the higher ups in the NHL....yep....that is credible....ha ha.......

 

[HanSolo]

Come on Jets. The one year I pick you as a bandwagon backup...

There is a conspiracy against every team in the NHL

Exactly.

NHL always favouring their big markets like Denver, Colorado.

Isn't that the truth....

Exactly.

NHL always favouring their big markets like Denver, Colorado.

It drives me crazy.....I see this on other teams boards also....always a conspiracy against them.....we all agree reffing is bad ...across the board for every team......people can be so childish.

 

[TheSuperElite]

Wow, Helle is terrible. Jets are going nowhere if he can't steal at least two games a series.

You’re absolutely right. Winnipeg hasn’t allowed 17 goals in 3 games, 15 of which were scored with helle in net, averaging 5.00 goals per game with him in the net. You tell him to tell us he didn’t watch the game indeed!

People thinking it was gonna be a cakewalk for the jets looking quite stupid right now.
