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

[Mickey Marner]

Avs out-shooting the Jets 153-103 so far. Hellebuyck hasn’t been great, but Colorado’s offense is running over Winnipeg’s defense.

Let’s see your EP page, hotshot.

If I played youth hockey (age 8) does that make me qualified to do analysis between periods on TNT? I honestly think it does.

Avs out-shooting the Jets 153-103 so far. Hellebuyck hasn’t been great, but Colorado’s offense is running over Winnipeg’s defense.

His positioning has been good, he's had some big saves, and really only a few truly stinker goals. Colorado has just torn em up so far and hope they can continue that trend.

The Jets are doing horrible in the playoffs. What's new?

 

[Dr Amazing]

Cales goal pretty much sunk the Jets the Avs probably close out the series in Winnipeg .

 

[not a troll]

Sooooooo

Who starts game 5?

 

[Oneiro]

Jets are one of the higher end zombie teams, along with NSH, WAS, NYI, PIT, etc. Going to be like Calgary inside of two years. Should've blown it up a long long time ago.

It's actually beautiful to watch these stubborn owners and managers prolong the descent.

Toffoli and Monahan struggle in the playoffs because of lack of speed. Shocking.

At least Monahan is a center and has some semblance of two-way ability. Toffoli was the head scratcher for me even for the cost of a 2nd and 3rd. Seemed like a lot that the Jets didn’t need.

People fixated on his regular season goal scoring the last couple of years and yet prior to this year, he had 18 playoff goals and was a -11 in 88 playoff games. He’s had one point (goal) in 4 games with a -3 in this series and is down to barely 13 minutes a night and that includes regular PP time.

He’s one of the prime exhibits of “regular season play and scoring is different than playoff play and scoring”. He has been basically his whole career, this kind of playoff impact was entirely predictable. He’s slow as molasses, avoids physical play and is one-dimensional in his usage. But regular season goals, I guess? I’m just shocked any Western Conference team would’ve looked at his play style and large, historical record of playoff underperformance and would say to themselves “yeah, we gotta give up some assets to get that on our team for a run.”

Why didn't Manson play today???

You’re seriously targeting him as a non contributor? His team won. That’s enough.

Some owners only care about not ending the season in the red. If you turn profit why shake up a “good” thing? Obviously from a fan and hockey mind standpoint that’s dumb. Business wise not the worst investment.

No breakaway goals = don’t bother coming

 

[Dr Amazing]

The Avs don't even have Landeskog in the line up if he was it would probably be a 4-0 sweep for the Avalanche go Avs go.

No. I didn't watch the game and I checked the stat sheets and didn't see him on the roster and wanted to know why.

Edit-nevermind, he's there.

Yeah i think you're correct in the end.......I think Boston is like that too.....The best of the no man's land teams.....Always in the thick of it but just good enough to be bridesmaids ....Outside of 2011 they can't beat the real elite teams 4 out of 7

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Hellebyuck has been ass this series.

 

[Muffin]

It probably would’ve been a sweep if Georgiev didn’t shit the bed in game 1.

 

[Jixer19]

Hellebyuck has been ass this series.

One way to say you haven't watched the games I guess, he is far from the problem

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I never said he was the sole problem. I said he hasn't been good. I've watched the games. Numbers also speak for themselves.

 

[Ararana]

Jets should be thanking their lucky stars Georgiev handed them game 1 and saved them the embarrassment of the sweep. This series should already be over.

4th win is always the hardest. Regardless how tilted the ice is.
So who knows? Still 60 minutes left.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Why didn't Manson play today???

Imagine trying to troll that you didn’t notice a defenseman. That means he did his job.

[kylbaz]

I just cant believe the team that gave up the least amount of goals in the regular season, absolutely embarrassed the Avs in the regular season, are getting absolutely dominated.

Jets have Heinola, Perfetti, Lambert, Barlow, McGroaty, Lucius all very close if not most NHL ready. They also have four more years of Morrissey and seven more years of Helle (yeah he isn't playing great) and Scheif. They are built to be competitive long term.
