[bustamente]

Well it would of been nice to hold serve at home but that didn't happen tonight, now tied at one the Jets will have to take one in Colorado. They are going to have to play better and keep mistakes to a minimum

I dont think anyone picked a sweep, so a couple losses are bound to happen.

Jets are 4-1 against the Avs since October. I still like our chances.

Top 2 lines need to show up... Especially Line 2.

Quit looking for the pretty play on the PP, get it on net, and crash the crease.

Georgiev is easily exposable under pressure.

Bucky needs to stay in his crease. 10+ in 2 heading to Colorado. Brossoit may be of service this series.

Lets see if the Jets have pushback in game 3.

 

[Skidooboy]

feels like Avs in 5

 

[Buffdog]

So much for 16-0

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Helle has given up 10 goals in two games and Georgiev has given up 9.

 

[Ossific]

Hellebyuck needs to be better. Ehlers doesn't know how to play playoff hockey. Toffoli is pure useless.

 

[razorsedge]

There was some pushback after a couple brain farts.

 

[Hobble]

Both Helle and 2nd line are no shows. Hard to win when depth and goaltending were supposed to be our strength.

 

[snowkiddin]

That was rough. On to game 3

 

[kanadalainen]

Unlovely.

We'll surprise in the next game, and win it.

 

[White Out 902]

I'm tired and work soon so I can't go on the kind of bender I want to. But my main takeaways are:
-We aren't physical enough
-No pushback, again
-Helley might be the biggest playoff choker in the league. The drop off of in play year after year to the post season is jarring. 10 f***ing goals in 2 games

 

[Ponds]

Didn't go our way tonight, it is what it is.

Maybe not the best showing but if you take away those two self inflicted wounds, it's a different game. The boys will have to sort it out, get ready to win a game in Denver. Some people already really down on this team, that was game two of round one. There's a long, dusty road ahead yet. Drinking holy nectar from the Cup is only granted after surviving a war of attrition. There will be no instant gratification on this journey.

Ride or die.

 

[bustamente]

I get it Ehlers is going to get trashed tonight and he probably deserves it, but pretty well all the Jets players had a tough night.

 

[ThinIce61]

Don't see us winning this series. We could just as easily be down 2-0. Disappointing effort. Seen this movie before.

 

[Do or Die]

Way too many screwups, up and down the line up.....

 

[DRW204]

0.870 last game, and 0.871 this one.... He's improving!

 

[Avocado Coolranch]

Will see how the jets are on the road. Colorado has been very strong at home so not gonna be easy.

.871 Helle… yikes - do you put brossoit in? Or wait till you are on the brink of losing the series?

 

[tbcwpg]

Lots to criticize there but the biggest offenders:

Hellebuyck needs to be better. He started well but had a bad 10 minutes to end the 2nd.

Ehlers had another terrible game, the 2nd line overall needs to wake up.

Whatever that powerplay was.

Put in Perfetti in Game 3, take out Stanley for Schmidt or Miller. Getting on the road should help them.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Some push back in 3rd but not near enough. Jets can’t expect to win by beating themselves. Avs 3rd and 4th goals were entirely self inflicted mistakes.
I’ll be optimistic and say they will clean that up in game 3.

 

[Weezeric]

Ehlers now with 4 goals in 34 career playoff games. Just the one horrible back breaking giveaway with 10 seconds left in a period…

 

[Do or Die]

Perfetti should draw in.....at least his brain usually works

 

[gojetsgo]

score instead of hitting the post and take away the 2 bone headed giveaways and could have been a much better outcome, gotta come out strong on the road and bury our chances, and the second line really needs to step it the f*** up, don't know why people are going after other lines when they have been the worst line we have

 

[Channelcat]

Avs were full value. Helly held us in for the first half anyway.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Helle simply needs to be better.
Jets need to get in front of the net and shoot more.
I would support Bro starting game 3.

 

[CorgisPer60]

It's a marathon, not a sprint. While it would have been nice for the Jets to go up 2-0, It's not the end of the world if they lose a game. Hellebuyck needs to be better, but if any of our horses think they can match MacKinnon's line, they have another thing coming. You can't hard match against him if he's playing practically every second shift. Nate tired is still loads better than any of our guys tired. We have the depth, so use it.
