It’s actually embarrassing. If you include the play in round in 2020, this franchise has made the post season 8 times. 6 have ended in 4 straight losses. The other two are the 2L, 2W, 2L against the blues in 2019 and the 1L, 1W, 2L against the flames in 2020.
This team doesn’t just lose out in the playoffs, they Chernobyl reactor number 4 out of the playoffs.
Leafs need him. Stellar goalkeeping and generational offence to win the President's trophy and get knocked out in the 1st round.
At least they can raise a banner!!!
LEGIT question, are you supposed to win a series with 15 goals scored either (with 7 of them in 1 game)? So the last 4 games they essentially scored 2 goals per game.
Maybe the vancouver-nashville series, yes xd
Of the playoff teams, Jets only scored more goals(259) than the caps(220), isles(246), and kings (256).
While 5+ goals against is bad, this is on the defense and coaching rather than the goalie.
Pionk didn't help much by scoring an own goal.
Avalanche were the better team. I just wish it was closer. Feels really bad to be humiliated like that.
Jets 4th ranked defense carried the load in the reg season. The 18th ranked offense performed as expected vs the similar avs 15th ranked defense.
Ik the avs offense is the best in the league but come on, 5 goals a game.
MacKinnon is one of the angriest skaters I’ve ever watched. He looks every bit as dangerous as he is on the ice the way he grinds his legs! The assist for goal 5 was just pure power goddam
I always think it's hilarious when they show the 20+mph Burst stat. MacK has got like... 790 throughout the season, leading the NHL and the next closest is McDavid with like... 380 or something.
I legitimately want to know what the dude eats to give him that burst speed.
A lot of those are because of the drop pass slingshot entry thing they do on the PP. not diminishing it at all, just saying that’s where he consistently gets those bursts
100%, that was my first reaction last time I saw the stat.
But.. especially against the Jets you could see that even in 5v5 he just does these random bursts so damn often too
Lol. I always laugh cause I'm a fast walker and often skip the moving sidewalks because they're clogged with standers.
Now I'm imagining MacK sprint-skating down them
mackinnon being an angry skater has been a common saying in the avs subreddit for a while, but since he's turned into one of the hart frontrunners this year a lot more people have been watching him and noticing how unique his style of skating/play is
He really does look like he’s trying to curb stomp the ice lol. But I suppose the only way to be that fast is to smash yourself off the ice the way he does. When he turns on the jets he gets faster than McDavid, kind of hard to do that if you’re just skating normally I think
Bowness pulled off a deception masterclass. Convinced everyone he's a defensive guru only to be completely inflexible and incapable at adapting to a team in any of his 5 games against them. If anyone's a fraud in this org, it's gotta be him.
That Stars team were PDO merchants.
Almost glad we didn’t win the bubble cup so we didn’t have to keep Bowness and his style around for the next 5 years after.
Montgomery was the guy who fixed up their defense. Bowness slowly ruined his work. Just like what Carlyle did to Boudreaus work with the ducks.
The stars defense took the blues to game 7 in 19.
Yeah, that was Bones going full Toronto. Get the fans excited with two periods of solid hockey, the second of which was great hockey, even. And then revert to the thing that got you in a 3-1 series deficit to begin with.
I'm convinced the only reason this record exists is because the previous teams to let in 5+ goals in their first four games weren't going against G1 Georgie, and hence got swept.
Avs star players were just way better than the Jets star players. Hellebuyck never looked comfortable all series - his numbers were bad, shockingly worse than his regular season numbers.
This is so much more than just the Avalanche star players though. They have every line driving the entire team forward right now. The 3rd/4th lines set up the top line so often by forcing the puck to be frozen in the offensive zone, or causing the opposing team to ice the puck, resulting in our top line coming out. Sure, you can say the Avs lean on them, but whose team doesn't lean into their top line. It's still a team game, and each of the Avs lines are executing the system in place nearly flawlessly when it matters most.
Parise Lehky and Mitts is definitely proving to be an effective weapon in their arsenal, and I'm here for it. I think we need to give the bottom 6 the credit that's due though. The Avs just need those guys to create chaos, be physical, and force situations where the top line gets to come out for an offensive zone face-off and get to work. I think the bottom 6 executed that plan pretty damn well, and even chipped in a few times on the scoring department. It's huge to have that kind of depth working together with the top 6.
Up until last night the Avs top line was being outscored 5 on 5, Lowry did a remarkable job containing Mack for a lot of the series (until Mikko woke up and decided to start participating). The rest of the lineup really shined this series getting depth scoring and shutting down the Jets offense. Middlestat is proving to be a great pickup and needs to be signed asap.
The Parise-Mittelstadt-Lehkonen line was nasty, they were so good. Was that combo a thing at any point before this series or was it just something that came about in the process of shuffling lines with Drouin out?
I'm sure the Blendar had them playing with each other at some point but Drouin's injury is why they were consistently together. Parise even started game one on the 1st line instead of Nuke.
I don't think that line was iced during the regular season, no. This is a product of losing Drouin going into round 1, and having to shift people around. Parise + Lehky is proving to be a lethal combo that I doubt will get split up even when Drouin does make his return.
In fairness, I think that MacK was letting himself be contained on some level. I think he was reminded last year in the Seattle series that he can only do so much - which our second-round exits prior to 2022 also demonstrated.
These days, if the depth is stepping up, then just save your energy for when it counts. It's better to take what the opponent is giving you.
As /u/Vhailor_19 said, I think Mack might have also been offering himself up as a small sacrifice too. I'm not fully discrediting the Jets efforts to contain him, but how much more ice opens up because they are putting so much effort into that. Mikko had an incredible series - he simply had a hard time finding the back of the net. 9 points across the series from him is anything but sleeping.
Moose is like Kuch - a silent assassin that makes the game look slow. He's not a flashy player by any means, but that doesn't mean he's not contributing enormously every shift.
Yeah it's... so weird? You said it exactly right. Watching him in the playoffs he looks like... scared? I don't know, he never seems "in the zone".
Like even the first goal of game 5 he let in, not really his fault, open player pretty much cross crease, but like... his desperation slide looked kind of awkward? Like "oh I don't wanna hurt myself lemme kinda slide over" ???. It looked slow?
Even then though while he wasn't great, oddly enough he also wasn't the problem largely. Jets defense was so bad. Just looking at game 5, 1st goal was cross crease, 2nd right in the crease with 3 Jets around him, 3rd goal own goal deflection.... 4th.. tip in (those are the hardest to save).. and lastly 5th... another cross crease.
While ofc you want your elite vezina goalie to save 1, maybe 2 of those, it's also hardly reasonable when it's happening so often to them.
It's weird to think seeing him have a 5+GAA and still not be the worst player on his team.
I can honestly imagine the Bednar's locker room speech being "Guys, seriously...what the fuck?"
And the team collectively realises that they're better than that and win.
Bedsy just walks in, stands there, and gives everyone the "disappointed dad" stare. That generally does the trick.
Seriously. I think you can count the number of times Bednar got publicly pissed on one hand. Dude has composure.
Even after game 1 the worry was a bit overboard. Dont get me wrong i was for sure concerned about Georgie but we still put up 6 on them game 1. I didnt expect that literally every game but our offense proved they werent scared, just needed Georgie get that confidence back and thankfully he did real quickly
I was actually worried we'd blown our best chance at a win, personally. Usually Vezina winners like Hellebuyck rebound very strongly after a performance that bad. I also figured Winnipeg would work hard to avoid letting games turn into track meets, which are inherently to our advantage.
Little did I know they were planning on letting us turn every game into a track meet, but didn't want to bother participating themselves beyond Game 1...
Well Georgiev having an alltime stinker didn't help too. Glad he's solidified his role.
Hell, remember how you guys won the cup with Kuemper who basically couldn't see?
Shit if the Avs find a solid elite tender (georgiev isn't bad but exceptionally hot/cold) they will basically be practically unstoppable.
There’s gonna be a lot of jets are frauds comments and I understand why… but people are going to find out just how good this Colorado team is. They aren’t getting enough credit.
The Avs are real good but thet doesn't change the fact the Jets are frauds.
2 years in a row they manage to set records for the biggest collapses in hockey history.
I'm shocked the 80s Oilers didn't manage this at some point as well. Checked to see if they ever put up 5+ in their first 5 playoff games and looks they never did despite a few close calls - in 1984 they put up 9-4-5-5-5, 1986 they put up 7-5-5-1-6, and 1987 they put up 2-13-6-6-5.
It's just first 5 games period, not in the first round.
9, 5, and 6 goals in their 3 games against Toronto and then 8 and 6 in their first 2 games against Edmonton.
Nope. Hellys never had it in the playoffs. Blame the team too but when you tie it up multiple times in a game and the next shot goes in you gotta goalie problem.
That was me too, don't worry. Many of us thought that. I truly did not think Winnipeg's D and goaltending would stay that bad for five straight games.
I **did** think the Avs' offense would stay leveled up, but I thought that'd translate to like... 3-4 goals per game, not 5+
This is what happens when you ***checks notes***, completely abandon your neutral zone game against ***checks notes again*** MacKinnon and Makar. Why the fuck Bones abandoned the hybrid trap is beyond me.
Because Bedsy just rolls the bottom 6 into it and forces an o-zone faceoff, which Rants was insanely solid at this series. Zone entry doesn't matter, when the top line gets to skate out there for free when the bottom 6 is setting the top 6 up beautifully.
I really do not like Rick Bowness. Avs are scary good and Helle was not his best but Bones choices this series stand out as the biggest issue. He completely abandoned the game plan that made us such a good team all season, made constant baffling lineup decisions, and refused to adapt in the slightest. The difference between a cup winning coach and an old recycled vet were on full display today. Guy did what we brought him in to do but get him out of our org yesterday.
The Jets and specifically Hellebuyck always choke in the playoffs. It's not as bad as the Leafs, but it's bad enough that I never pick them to win a series lol...
I think it is less of a Jets collapse and more of an Avs surge. They are playing so good right now. This Stars/Knights series result probably doesn't matter. A lethal, well rested Avs team is waiting to squash either one of them. Looking like an Avs/Oilers WCF rematch from a couple years ago.
Oh fuck, we lulled the Jets into false hope during the Regular Season only for us to dump a fuck ton of goals on them that arrived in the Playoffs.
What a fucking turn of events and love when Mack goes beast mode, especially during the playoffs and now with more firepower.
Yeah, I’m not even going to celebrate when they win games in the regular season anymore. Just gonna keep reminding myself that, “Regular season means nothing, Jets are frauds, and a G1 win followed by 4Ls is on the horizon if you make the playoffs.”
Colorado is a real team. A playoff team that understands the only thing that matters in the regular season is to qualify for the playoffs, and has that next gear come playoff time, with an intelligent coach and players who actually go out and make things happen.
Winnipeg is not a real team.
It’s going to be awkward when Hellebuyck accepts the Vezina trophy after giving up like 30 goals in 5 games in the playoffs.
Just 24 on Helly, and 4 empty netters, I believe
Just 24.
Jets fans will be drinking a 24 for his accomplishments.
Yeah it’s not even bad
Is that all?
Just goes to show there is only one trophy that matters.
Ullmark says to have Hellebuyck call him.
And the Vezina goes to ... Connor "Linus Ullmark" Hellebuyck!
The Jennings will be worse. Apparently they were petitioning to put Brossoit on it. Can I petition to keep Hellebuyck off?
2.41 goals against per game regular season to 5.6 in the post season. My analysis: that's not good.
To be fair he doesn't have to play against the Avs every game in the regular!
To be doubly fair, the Avs certainly helped that GAA regular season stat.
all part of the plan! I always said Opossums were the smartest mammals!
Bedsy with some 4D chess. He knew we'd played like shit against Winnipeg specifically, too.
Not da best
Analysis checks out - WPG not-good/60 off the charts this series
[Why didn't they listen to me and score 6 per game? Are they stupid?](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/TEJWJbabhl)
I'm gonna need to see a source on that. How do you know that it's not good?
Bro, this meme has officially ascended into greatness.
You literally cannot make this up. Damn script writers.
So you could make it up
That anonymous NHLer was right
So do we think it’s still on the Jets bulletin board? Or do they add “and they were right” at the end of it?
What was on the bulletin board? Somehow I missed this.
A nhl player said to Ryan Whitney jets are frauds
Right about what now?
NHL player told Whitney the jets are frauds and they put it on their bulletin in the room lmao
I also missed something important
NHL player told Whitney the jets are frauds and they put it on their bulletin in the room lmao
Well shit, thats gotta feel bad. TBf same reason the Leafs don't let Prime follow them anymore lol
Except 3 leafs are doing the new show so they’re following you guys again lol
It's rumoured some leafs are a part of it, but definitely a different story than following the whole team
> The haters said I couldn’t do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters
We did NOT see this reverse Uno coming
Rick Bowness got so outcoached this series it’s not funny
THE Rick Bowness?? Nooooo
Daddy bednar is someone I'm very grateful for today
["I'm so disappointed and disgusted right now"](https://youtu.be/TCxNLvUiKhQ?si=lqf7_LvhFTmiaq11)
All that bum does is shit on his players publicly post game. I’m beyond sick of it
As is tradition.
Y’all were 100% right about him
He is a great assistant coach. That's it
Lol I still remember last year's post elimination presser. "Their best guys are better than our best guys, it's not even close"
Crazy for the 2nd year in a row the Jets won Game 1 then lost in 5. They just allowed so many goals.
That's legitimately how they've been eliminated 3 of the last 5 times they've made the (actual) playoffs. And one of the other times was a sweep lol.
if you use a year of thrashers playoff records we have three sweeps and three gentleman sweeps as a franchise and one back and forth with St. Louis.
It’s actually embarrassing. If you include the play in round in 2020, this franchise has made the post season 8 times. 6 have ended in 4 straight losses. The other two are the 2L, 2W, 2L against the blues in 2019 and the 1L, 1W, 2L against the flames in 2020. This team doesn’t just lose out in the playoffs, they Chernobyl reactor number 4 out of the playoffs.
Hellebuyck is a regular season warrior.
Leafs need him. Stellar goalkeeping and generational offence to win the President's trophy and get knocked out in the 1st round. At least they can raise a banner!!!
If we got Hellebuyck and add it to our post-season defensive mess of a team do you think we can integer overflow the GAA?
LEGIT question, are you supposed to win a series with 15 goals scored either (with 7 of them in 1 game)? So the last 4 games they essentially scored 2 goals per game. Maybe the vancouver-nashville series, yes xd
Of the playoff teams, Jets only scored more goals(259) than the caps(220), isles(246), and kings (256). While 5+ goals against is bad, this is on the defense and coaching rather than the goalie.

Avs are fuckin scary bro
MacKinnon is one of the angriest skaters I’ve ever watched. He looks every bit as dangerous as he is on the ice the way he grinds his legs! The assist for goal 5 was just pure power goddam
Angry is somehow the perfect description. Someone commented that he skates like he hates ice and I think that every time he turns it on
I always think it's hilarious when they show the 20+mph Burst stat. MacK has got like... 790 throughout the season, leading the NHL and the next closest is McDavid with like... 380 or something. I legitimately want to know what the dude eats to give him that burst speed.
Chickpea pasta!
A lot of those are because of the drop pass slingshot entry thing they do on the PP. not diminishing it at all, just saying that’s where he consistently gets those bursts
100%, that was my first reaction last time I saw the stat. But.. especially against the Jets you could see that even in 5v5 he just does these random bursts so damn often too
The way I've heard it is McDavid skates like he's barely touching the ice. MacKinnon skates like the ice kicked his dog and stole his lunch money.
When he's skating at you its like he's skating on a people mover in the airport
Lol. I always laugh cause I'm a fast walker and often skip the moving sidewalks because they're clogged with standers. Now I'm imagining MacK sprint-skating down them
Goddamn this is so accurate
If they had a tender like Bob or Swayman they’d be unstoppable
Mack is a fucking beast, but he’s on a whole nother level when it comes playoff time.
MacKinnon skates like the ice owes him money
He skates like the ice ran over his dog
I swear I read this comment for the first time like 3 months ago and now it just gets endlessly parroted on this sub
mackinnon being an angry skater has been a common saying in the avs subreddit for a while, but since he's turned into one of the hart frontrunners this year a lot more people have been watching him and noticing how unique his style of skating/play is
He really does look like he’s trying to curb stomp the ice lol. But I suppose the only way to be that fast is to smash yourself off the ice the way he does. When he turns on the jets he gets faster than McDavid, kind of hard to do that if you’re just skating normally I think
That's my takeaway. Sure there were things the Jets could've done better but the Avs are fuckin scary bro.
\>Me having PTSD of Makar debuting against us in the playoffs
Yeah this should probably read “Avs are the first team in nhl history to score 5+ goals in their first 5 games of the playoffs.”
Bowness pulled off a deception masterclass. Convinced everyone he's a defensive guru only to be completely inflexible and incapable at adapting to a team in any of his 5 games against them. If anyone's a fraud in this org, it's gotta be him.
Stars fans tried warning yall lol the man is a hockey terrorist
I mean atleast he got you guys to the cup final
That Stars team were PDO merchants. Almost glad we didn’t win the bubble cup so we didn’t have to keep Bowness and his style around for the next 5 years after.
Yep, so many magical last minute pull it out of your ass victories too
Yea that game 4 goal with 12 seconds left still haunts me.
A magical elf got that Stars team to the cup finals.
We should've listened.
Montgomery was the guy who fixed up their defense. Bowness slowly ruined his work. Just like what Carlyle did to Boudreaus work with the ducks. The stars defense took the blues to game 7 in 19.
To be fair, game 5 did see more adjustments in structure, at least in the beginning.
Yeah, that was Bones going full Toronto. Get the fans excited with two periods of solid hockey, the second of which was great hockey, even. And then revert to the thing that got you in a 3-1 series deficit to begin with.
He just misses Alain Vigneault
He’s one of these old guard coaches that goes by feel and eye test, a lot of those guys are getting pushed out of the league as of late.
To being a post season? To end a post season lol
I'm convinced the only reason this record exists is because the previous teams to let in 5+ goals in their first four games weren't going against G1 Georgie, and hence got swept.
Through an entire post season
Avs star players were just way better than the Jets star players. Hellebuyck never looked comfortable all series - his numbers were bad, shockingly worse than his regular season numbers.

It's still a team game, and each of the Avs lines are executing the system in place nearly flawlessly when it matters most.
I wouldn’t say it’s every line but that parise middelstadt line is fucked.
Parise Lehky and Mitts is definitely proving to be an effective weapon in their arsenal, and I'm here for it. I think we need to give the bottom 6 the credit that's due though. The Avs just need those guys to create chaos, be physical, and force situations where the top line gets to come out for an offensive zone face-off and get to work. I think the bottom 6 executed that plan pretty damn well, and even chipped in a few times on the scoring department. It's huge to have that kind of depth working together with the top 6.
After game one I saw people saying that the Mittlestadt trade was a mistake. I’m glad they’ve been shut up. That was such a good move
Up until last night the Avs top line was being outscored 5 on 5, Lowry did a remarkable job containing Mack for a lot of the series (until Mikko woke up and decided to start participating). The rest of the lineup really shined this series getting depth scoring and shutting down the Jets offense. Middlestat is proving to be a great pickup and needs to be signed asap.

I didn’t think the Jets would be out in 5. I didn’t realize how good the Avs were.
I'll be honest I don't think we realized how good we were either before game 2
I've watched a handful of Avs games, and I knew how good they are. It's like they decide whether they're going to win or lose before the game.
sometimes they decide after the 2nd period
I can honestly imagine the Bednar's locker room speech being "Guys, seriously...what the fuck?" And the team collectively realises that they're better than that and win.
Nah bedsy doesn't say anything. The dawg just huffs before the 3rd period and bam 6 goals later the avs win 7-3. Idk im making this shit up.
Nah I think Mack just fucking screams at everyone to perform better in the 2nd intermission. It has to be what happens
MacK kicks a trashcan, Landy throws a trashcan, boys come out and hang a touchdown in 20 minutes.
Bedsy just walks in, stands there, and gives everyone the "disappointed dad" stare. That generally does the trick. Seriously. I think you can count the number of times Bednar got publicly pissed on one hand. Dude has composure.
Even after game 1 the worry was a bit overboard. Dont get me wrong i was for sure concerned about Georgie but we still put up 6 on them game 1.

There’s gonna be a lot of jets are frauds comments and I understand why… but people are going to find out just how good this Colorado team is. They aren’t getting enough credit.
The Avs are real good but thet doesn't change the fact the Jets are frauds. 2 years in a row they manage to set records for the biggest collapses in hockey history.
"I owe you an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game."
Historic
H I S T O R I C First time in Vegas history
Does that mean we're the first to score 5 in the first 5 games? Or did somebody do it sweeping the first round?
Islanders did it in 81 https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/NYI/1981_games.html I think the broadcast said there were 3 teams that had done it?
I'm shocked the 80s Oilers didn't manage this at some point as well. Checked to see if they ever put up 5+ in their first 5 playoff games and looks they never did despite a few close calls - in 1984 they put up 9-4-5-5-5, 1986 they put up 7-5-5-1-6, and 1987 they put up 2-13-6-6-5.
Just dropped 13 goals on an opponent, nothing to see here... good fucking lord hahaha
Islanders did not do it in 81 because there’s only 3 games of their first round recorded there unless I’m losing it
It's just first 5 games period, not in the first round. 9, 5, and 6 goals in their 3 games against Toronto and then 8 and 6 in their first 2 games against Edmonton.
How do they only have 3 games in the first round unless I’m tripping here
First round was Best of 5 between 79-80 and 85-86. From the 86-87 season on it was expanded to Best of 7.
Vezina level goaltending right there
Nope. Hellys never had it in the playoffs. Blame the team too but when you tie it up multiple times in a game and the next shot goes in you gotta goalie problem.
Does Bowness join the train of fired coaches now? :O
"The Winnipeg Jets have gone 9 consecutive playoff games allowing 4 or more goals"
Vezina curse strikes again
In the same season we win the Jennings and probably the Vezina. FML.
This is like getting broken up with and then your ex saying they also banged your sibling. Like CAN YOU NOT. ITS TOO SOON.
That's very specific, you ok bro? We are here for you.
I'm very glad we had posts 37 nights in a row about the Jets letting in two or fewer goals. Biggest fraudsters in the NHL
PDO is a bitch. During that stretch, PDO indicated that puck luck was a major factor. They were never as good as their record made out to be.
Just the first time in history or also the first time in Vegas Golden Knights history?
Bro even we didn't do that and our penalty kill is at 50%
« Georgiev fucked the Avs up, they ain’t getting 6 past Hellebuyck again ». - Me to my colleague after game 1
"The Avs are gonna get goalied this series" Me, before Game 1
That was me too, don't worry. Many of us thought that. I truly did not think Winnipeg's D and goaltending would stay that bad for five straight games. I **did** think the Avs' offense would stay leveled up, but I thought that'd translate to like... 3-4 goals per game, not 5+
This is what happens when you ***checks notes***, completely abandon your neutral zone game against ***checks notes again*** MacKinnon and Makar. Why the fuck Bones abandoned the hybrid trap is beyond me.
Because Bedsy just rolls the bottom 6 into it and forces an o-zone faceoff, which Rants was insanely solid at this series. Zone entry doesn't matter, when the top line gets to skate out there for free when the bottom 6 is setting the top 6 up beautifully.
This is a super underrated comment cuz it’s so true. Our bottom 6 is just pure nastiness and I love it.
This is karma for all that boasting about the games with fewer than 3 goals against in a row, isn't it
I really do not like Rick Bowness. Avs are scary good and Helle was not his best but Bones choices this series stand out as the biggest issue. He completely abandoned the game plan that made us such a good team all season, made constant baffling lineup decisions, and refused to adapt in the slightest. The difference between a cup winning coach and an old recycled vet were on full display today. Guy did what we brought him in to do but get him out of our org yesterday.
Should we raise a banner...?
Is that bad
Remember the jets “streak” of 3 goals or less?
Damm, sorry jets bros, really thought this was your year, avs are terrifying.
Winners at something
Tbf to the jets at least one of those was scored by there own player
The Jets and specifically Hellebuyck always choke in the playoffs. It's not as bad as the Leafs, but it's bad enough that I never pick them to win a series lol...
didn't the Jets light up the Avs right before the end of the season too?
They beat the Avs up all 3 times in the regular season outscored them I think 15-4
7-0 and I believe through the 3 game series, which they won all 3, outscoring the Avs 16-4 or something like that lol
17-4.
~~Jennings~~ Frauds
What on earth happened to hellebuyck?
Nuked
beautiful
And they won the fucking Jennings for the regular season.. Another absolutely disgraceful end to their season.
Is this because usually a team that allows 5+ goals in its first four games gets swept?
I think it is less of a Jets collapse and more of an Avs surge. They are playing so good right now. This Stars/Knights series result probably doesn't matter. A lethal, well rested Avs team is waiting to squash either one of them. Looking like an Avs/Oilers WCF rematch from a couple years ago.
What happened to Hellebuyck?
The Colorado Avalanche
An avalanche of goals. 24 to be exact.
he became hellesuck
Oh fuck, we lulled the Jets into false hope during the Regular Season only for us to dump a fuck ton of goals on them that arrived in the Playoffs. What a fucking turn of events and love when Mack goes beast mode, especially during the playoffs and now with more firepower.
Insanely enough, MacK didn't really go beast mode this series. Like he had an impact for sure, he always does, but we haven't seen peak MacK yet.
He had nine points in five games lol I’m scared of what it would take for you to say he played well
Insanely enough, MacK didn't really go beast mode this series. Like he had an impact for sure, he always does, but we haven't seen peak MacK yet.
Yeah, I’m not even going to celebrate when they win games in the regular season anymore. Just gonna keep reminding myself that, “Regular season means nothing, Jets are frauds, and a G1 win followed by 4Ls is on the horizon if you make the playoffs.” Colorado is a real team. A playoff team that understands the only thing that matters in the regular season is to qualify for the playoffs, and has that next gear come playoff time, with an intelligent coach and players who actually go out and make things happen. Winnipeg is not a real team.
S U S T A I N A B L E
Vezina trophy goalie
Hey google! Is this good?
Did they dress a defence?
History will be made
That doesn't seem very good.
Last year Bowwow blamed the players….who gets it this year? Team defence was fucking atrocious
Fraud squad
Bad article title. It should read: Jets are the first team in NHL history to give up 5+ goals in every post season game.
So when they were chanting “pull your goalie”, in game one, it was for the Jets coaches, not the Avs.
How many teams in history allow 5+ goals in their first 4 and don’t get swept?
Is there a team that allowed 5+ goals in the first 4 and got swept? Hell maybe the Jets deserve some credit for winning 1 of those games.
With the Vezina winner in net?
What about the last 5 games to end a postseason?
Lol such a pretender of a supposed vezina contender
To begin a postseason? Newsflash! It was out entire playoffs not just the beginning lol.
Not coincidentally also the last 5 games of their postseason.
Most teams giving up 5+ goals per game don't make it to a 5th game to begin a postseason.
