As a Jets fan and a bit of a stats nerd, I can tell your coach that Avs biggest goal scorers against our boys were Nichushkin and Lehkonen.. so Avs come in waves... but biggest problems were those two, and they often scored on PP.... so keep playing clean... and keep Nichushkin and Lehkonen in your view, as they were the most dangerous players in the series against the Jets. The other difference: Avs had the highest shot volume of any team in the playoffs... they threw everything they could at Helle, from every angle. He could withstand them only so long and the D guys didn't pick up the slack with stick lifts and interceptions against Avs. They are not an easy team to play... but good luck Dallas!! I'm thrilled you sent the Knights to the golf course early! Go beat the Avs.
"Your best defense is when the puck's 200ft from your net." Much love to Pete. Also happy retirement to Coach Bowness!
Bones was a terrific coach and WOW did all his players love him - everywhere he coached. Congrats Rick Bowness!
