Ehlers had a brutal series my god. Winnipeg has to move him.
I don't think anyone will believe it until they see it happenYa I dont trust Georgie to get the job done ultimately.
It was Joe Namath!I had a Jets fan tell me that they had 20 guys as good or better than Nichushkin and Lehkonen.
The Avs depth is no joke this year. They’ve got a second line center who does a lot of the little things that contribute to winning and their bottom lines play fast and heavy. There’s no point in the game where you are going to get to slow down the pace and take a breather.
And this was without one of their better offensive catalysts this year on the ice for a minute of this series and their captain still perms-shelved.
CMac deserves a lot of credit for being active in addressing the things that sank this team’s title defense last year. Active and productive summer, quickly pivoted off the RyJo mistake and then insulated everything at the trade deadline.
Only gets harder from here though. Next round, regardless of opponent, is going to be brutal.
The Avs are one of the better teams statistically. It's their shitty goaltending that sunk them this year.What surprised me most with the Avs was their commitment to team defense. The book on the Avs was they aren't good in their own zone and let in a lot of goals. Game 1 was a nonsense game but after that they had tight gaps and speed. Jets were outplayed and have some soul searching to do.
Oh go throw some batteries at Santa Claus Philly Fan!Neutral fan here… nothing worse than Avs fans on this forum, tbh. Horrendously smug. Nothing redeeming. The funny part is the team is actually likeable. Sometimes the dog does not resemble the owner, however.
The Avs depth is a lot better than this time last year but still don’t match up to a team like Vegas or Dallas when it comes to depth across 4 lines. But who cares when you have 140pt MacKinnon. Bednar also doesn’t roll 4 lines either.
Do the NY Jets have 20 guys better at football than Lehkonene and Nichuskin?It was Joe Namath!
Depth is overrated. It is absolutely needed, but eventually your top guns are more important. Depth players score individual important goals. Top guns score the majority of goals. Power play is a thing you know?The Avs depth is a lot better than this time last year but still don’t match up to a team like Vegas or Dallas when it comes to depth across 4 lines.

Honestly game one might have been the Avs best, Geo lost that game almost single-handedly as the Avs were all over the Jets the entire gameGreat series by the Avs, they made the right adjustments after game one and played 3 great games and tonight's was just good enough to get some bounces. They're a good team with speed and should give the winner of Dallas/Vegas a tough series. That only one team out of Dallas, Colorado, Vegas, and Winnipeg gets past the second round is just crazy.
Not sure how many times I have said this, but he was far from the problemHellebuyck sunk this team.
I hope the Winnipeg FO and fans really don't think this was the case.Hellebuyck sunk this team.
