[Eyeseeing]

Utah in 6 , oh wait that’s next season

I wonder who takes Barron’s spot on the 4th line for now. Perfetti w/ 19 goals in 71 games? David Gustafsson? I would like Perfetti but something tells be it’ll be Gustafsson.

Perfetti Namestnikov Iafallo
is an amazing third line.

Gus has been great too. Better on the PK than Iafallo imo.

edit: meant to say 4th line. Still works though.

Avs are a tough first round draw for sure, but the Jets can pull it off if they play their game and don’t get sloppy.

 

[Daximus]

This is a winnable series if we stick with our gameplan.

I'm waiting for my lunch to thaw so I checked out the Colorado Avalanche playoff series board. I'm amazed at how grim and pessimistic they are. Most comments suggest that the Jets will win in 6 but a persistent few are expecting a Jets sweep.

The majority of complaints are directed at the coach but various players are accused of being slackers and not giving much effort. Quite a surprise to find.

 

[Buffdog]

Wow ... 14 of the 15 sports writers for NHL.com picked the Jets beating the Av's first round.

That's going on the proverbial bulletin board in the Avs dressing room

I think that many people on these types of forums are excessively negative on their team’s chances as a coping mechanism. I would be willing to bet that the average fan who are not on these boards, are no where near as negative as that crowd.

ps - microwaves have been known to speed up thawing.

Drouin out for the 1st round, surprisingly big loss for the Avs as he's been good

Huge, the Avs weak depth gets weaker.

Thawing something for lunch? Sounds like you eat more elaborate meals than we do.

LOL, hardly. Leftover pork medallions and mushrooms from a couple of weeks ago. I find if I eat before going to Sobey's the grocery bill is probably lower.

Could this be Colorado's idiotic player deployment catching up to them? Drouin was one of the forwards regularly playing 20+ minutes a night midway through the season, while the bottom six barely got ice time. According to Hockeyreference, he logged two separate 10-game streaks of 20+ minutes of ice time.

Colorado had 3 of the top 7 forwards in average time on ice this year. Surely that'll backfire?

The bookies are certainly agreeing with you. The odds keep sliding in our favour.

Certainly hope so.

They've basically got 1 top line, a 3rd line and two fourths

 

[Upperdeckjet]

I just noticed that Arvid Holm, of former Manitoba Moose fame, is the 3rd goalie for Colorado!

them re-naming their goalie "Fourgiev" is f###@ing amazing

 

[Dirtbag151]

there is also this from their page lol
"Logan Stanley also turns into Chris Pronger every time Winnipeg makes the playoffs."

That’s on Bednar. Colorado dressed a full roster in a meaningless game against Edmonton when Edmonton was resting seven players.

Sorry if it’s been posted already, but has anyone heard who we’re getting for play by play for this series?

Oh nevermind, I found it. My bad.

Yeah, they are bad. But it's just Winnipeg, so nobody's listening.
