As a a Jets fan, Avs top 5 scare me more than oilers top 5. Fun and nerve-wracking to watch. If you watch the second goal in slow motion you will see Conner did a intentional tap pass back to Schiefle. Great skill.
Jets fan here... thanks for the props to our boys and to our wonderful goalie in particular. Our boys believe in themselves but I believe what beat the Jets last playoffs was the volume of shots Helle faced. He doesn't seem to get exhausted. The defense in front of him completely let him down in that series. We do have the tape from last playoffs now so we do have things to refer back to once that time comes again. But I know as a Jets fan, that these boys take the Avs extremely seriously every time a game comes up. Full respect on who you have on your team, we are well aware of the skill that is on the Avs team. The games are fun to watch and I'm always glad if I can be in the house when the Avs come up to Winnipeg for a visit. :) I was going to add that the loss in Colorado came at the hands of our backup goalie as it was a back-to-back. As far as the 8 game homestand for Jets, we had a nightmare 13 game travel schedule back in November for the boys so now they get some time back home to play in front of the home crowd. :) Wishing your guys success (except when they're playing my Jets, of course).. enjoy the rest of the season. :)
You guys I think are being too negative about your team. The perspective is that the only thing that matters in the regular season is 1) make the playoffs and 2) find and fix issues before the playoffs. The Avs are a good team. Feel good about them.
Lol. I like how you guys acknowledge that some of your viewers are Jets fans. As a Jets fan I follow the Avs bec. I respect the Avs and I also don’t like playing the Avs in the 1st round.
PP has to do something different. Everybody in the league including their grandmothers knows Makar feeds it back to Mack, then Mack attempts to blast up the ice and gain the zone, dump it back to drouin or mitts then cycle it low/ high , high/low to and fro for a whole 2 minutes and register no shots on net. MAYBE if they’re lucky get a shot from the bumper. That’s it That’s the PP in a nut shell. PP has to be more unpredictable. As far as depth I still think we just don’t have it or if we’ll ever have it since we can’t stay relatively healthy. It’s so hard to keep track of who’s injured. Once Mikko Makar and Mack are shut down, we’re pretty much cooked and that’s where we fall short every time since ‘22. I Miss Naz
MacK admitted, in the past, they hide PP looks from possible playoff matchups. He knows what to do vs double teams as well. I think this was a game where he gave their video team nothing. Mikko had two golden chances early & if one scores its a different game. The big letdown was Mittelstadt & his total inability to win puck battles; he needs to get it together!
As a Jets fan, I can say that we have 5 playoff games against the Avs to look back at in the playoff round last year to refer to if we want to figure out how to beat the Avs. Every secret was revealed in that series.
This is the first time our coach has ever put a defensive Dynamo like Lowry with an offence of threat like Ehlers, why the jets haven’t done this before makes me wonder, the avs had no answer, the rest of the league is gonna realize how deadly the line is, lowry spend that much time in your zone that is very dangerous when you have a player like ehlers that can score from anywhere
Its not the drop pass itself that bothers me the most. Its Nathan MacKinnon's utter insistence on passing that puck to the wing right before he enters the zone. 31 teams in the League understand that he will do that 95% of the time now. What ever happened to the one-man entry from 29? We know he can do it. But he continues to defer and make it that much more difficult to get set up in the O zone. Also, does he just not want to score goals this season? He's carving himself a cozy little reputation as the ultimate assist man, even though he JUST scored 51 goals last season!!
Also i dont think helley was the main reason it was a shout out the defense was playing fast and hard. We just got our #2/3 defenseman back(samberg) and he makes a huge difference. I agree with you. The avs Game plan shouldve changed. (Not ina Rude way)
The Avs have one effective line and the Jets frustrated them all night. This was as demoralizing as a regular season loss could be for the Avs. I enjoyed watching the big 3 slamming doors and breaking sticks and muttering on the bench all night.
All teams that are behind 2 or more goals heading into the third feel defeated already against the Jets. The Jets also realized they were are on Hockey Night in Canada. Lots of parity and good teams playing each other now, can’t win them all unless you’re the Montréal Canadiens in the 70s.
Connor Hellebuyck will help the United States win gold in the four nations playoffs... Avalanche just can't beat him. Nate Dogg can't score on him, Cale Makar can't score on him, and is the best American goalie in Canada.
I’m a jets fan and I wouldn’t worry to much about your big 3 I did notice something and that’s how important Myles wood is to your lineup especially in these types of games another difference is Nik ehlers finally showed for us !
Too bad there isn’t a U2 concert that can get canceled. The Avs inconsistencies are getting too noticeable. I honestly think the win against the Wild was a fluke because they were missing key players. The league knows the Avs playbook. I’m not a “fire Bednar” bandwagon seat warmer, but he has to realize the “system” just isn’t cutting it anymore. They need a fresh perspective, and absolutely a new PP coach or if they don’t have one, Christ, get one. This might be a hot take, but I’d healthy scratch our top guys just to see how the depth plays out. Find the weaknesses and make them stronger. It’s “Cale, Nate, Mikko and the Colorado Avalanche. Without them, the team is mid at best and that just won’t win Cups. Love the boys to death, but something’s gotta give.
@ yes it’s not fair to look at one stat That said this game wasn’t as close as it looked or the score would suggest. It was a very entertaining game by 2 good teams and hopefully they play again in spring
The Jets are a very good defensive team from the forwards to the defence to the goaltending and they really wanted to beat Colorado stop blaming Colorado. They tried their best but they couldn’t break through.
@@LockedOnAvalancheoh nothing this game, I understand you guys are breaking down this one. I just remember the Jets pounding the Avs 7-0 a week or two before the playoffs and Colorado making them look like an AHL team in the playoffs. They have the ability to turn it up was my point.
blacky played great again still only 2ga with the empty netter ,that being said not impressed with the rest of the team , slow start again gave me ptsd ,and my god the pp has got to change only 2 pps but what 1 shot 2 maybe ? its literally costing us games ,this wouldnt of been as big of a deal but it was vs the jets and to make it worse dallas won in overtime so that was not a 4 point game that was a 6 point game pretty much ,and thats the 2nd time they shut us out aswell , cant keep dropping game in the west nm our own division
Nate needs to stop going for that 100 assist season and start shooting the puck! I wonder if he'll lead the league in turnovers and giveaways by the end of the season. To me it looks like he has close to 20 turnovers a night. Everybody give the puck to Nate so he can get in the zone and wing a blind back hand pass to the other team or the boards. He's turning into a one trick pony at this point. Doesn't matter to me that he leads the league in points. I believe he would have 20-30 more points at this point if he decided to actually play hockey and shoot.
In the pregame interview by Marc Moser McKinnon didn't even know it was Saturday much less hockey night ... This team is INCONSISTENT night to night .... In this game the floor checking by the Jets was something the Avs just could not deal with ... this team is not quite right ... set expectations accordingly.
Jets fan here, great post game, love when these 2 teams battle. Good Av fans present at the game, you are all welcome.

Previous two years the Jets flamed out after new years. This year, full afterburner. Paul Maurice wants Winnipeg to win the cup. IT'S TIME!!

Not down on the team at all. Just how they played this game
Jets Fan here ... 3 games in 4 nights hurts EVERY NHL TEAM
Lol. I like how you guys acknowledge that some of your viewers are Jets fans. As a Jets fan I follow the Avs bec. I respect the Avs and I also don’t like playing the Avs in the 1st round.
Ditto... Jets fan here too and I also don't like when our teams meet up in the 1st round. And I also respect the Avs.
As a Jets fan, I know these two teams are going to meet eachother in the playoffs. Question is whether it will be the first or second round

That pretty much sums it up.
Yeah, it is getting SO tiring watching them do the SAME THING EVERY DAMN TIME! Sheesh ...

Demoralizing is losing to Chicago. Not a shut out loss to the best goalie in the league.
@ Truth be told. Jets have a terrible habit of losing to bad teams. I understand the frustration.
Jets have to be mindful Hellybuyck is on pace for 65 games plus the 4 Nations Face Off.That's a lot.
Avs were missing Nichushkin too.
All teams that are behind 2 or more goals heading into the third feel defeated already against the Jets.
The Jets also realized they were are on Hockey Night in Canada.

The Avs literally beat Hellebuyck in the playoffs last season.
@soulknife20 That was last year. He is different goalie this year. NHL is even talking about giving him the Hart trophy.
Too bad there isn’t a U2 concert that can get canceled. The Avs inconsistencies are getting too noticeable.

In fairness, the system has kept them up in the standings despite more injuries and bad goalie play prior to the goalie trades
Last 40 minutes high danger chances were 10-0. Statistically this wasn’t even close.
Which led to zero high danger shots on goal. It's easy to throw out one stat and claim it wasn't close when it actually was.
@ yes it’s not fair to look at one stat That said this game wasn’t as close as it looked or the score would suggest. It was a very entertaining game by 2 good teams and hopefully they play again in spring
Well Hellebuyck is kind of a problem for most of the league. He could be locking his HOF membership this season.
The Jets are a very good defensive team from the forwards to the defence to the goaltending and they really wanted to beat Colorado stop blaming Colorado. They tried their best but they couldn’t break through.
As a Jets fan, you guys have a short memory.. 4-1
Respectfully, what did that do for us this game?
And what did the Avs do in the second round?
@@davidsumner8234 a double overtime goal away from forcing a game 7

@@LockedOnAvalanchegreat podcast. I hope Helle is a problem for the opposition in the playoffs
The only reason you won last time is because samberg was injured and ehlers was not on a lowry line, plus hellebuyck was not in net
Yeah. Jets tend to lose when Hellebuyck isn't in net.

I wouldn't say stop going for it. If you're dishing assists you're helping your team score. But the turnover problem for him is very real.
The Avs are a greasy goal tem... with Val or Landy
How many missed games do those two have this season? Haha
Best players but yet can't score on the pp....
In the pregame interview by Marc Moser McKinnon didn't even know it was Saturday much less hockey night ...
This team is INCONSISTENT night to night .... In this game the floor checking by the Jets was something the Avs just could not deal with ... this team is not quite right ... set expectations accordingly.
Jets do this to a lot of teams. Avs aren't alone in that. Take it down a notch, buddy. I barely knew it was Saturday.
