GDT: Round 1 - Game 2 - Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets - Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024 - 8:30pm CDT - CBC - CJOB/Power 97

Can't let the Avs score 6 again in this series and stop taking penalties, winning tonight puts all the pressure on the Avs going back to Colorado.

 

[Hobble]

Huge game tonight. Gotta buck that Vegas trend of winning Game 1 then blowing it.

Need to be better defensively. Helle needs to be sharper. And the boys needs to stick to their game, not trying to run and gun with MacKinnon.

 

[jungles]

Forecast calls for a 0% chance of me getting any work done today. Go Jets Go!

 

[Huffer]

Really hoping the Jets clean up some of their play in the neutral zone, as well as their breakouts.

They have to keep close attention to Mackinnon, and also stay out of the box.

Let's go Jets!

For some reason I laughed out loud at the absurdity of a "let's keep them under 6" gameplan.

Thanks again for the funny GDT @macmaroon . Colorado thought they had a chance with playing a high scoring game but that didn't work very well....

When your goalie is Georgiev, high scoring games are your only hope.

 

[Buffdog]

Puck management is huge vs a counter attack team like the Avs. Turnovers at both bluelines and on the breakout are a great way to bleed high danger chances

Pucks out, pucks deep

 

[Channelcat]

We need to play our damned game

Also, first

Also, people are still counting us out. Georgiev was bad but I don't think that's the only way we win this series. We can beat em honestly too as long as we play our game

I really don't see Helly letting in 6 again

 

[Jet]

I really don't see Helly letting in 6 again

I sure hope you're right.

An insane counter but do you think there's any world besides injury where Bones starts Brossoit?

I'm not saying we will need to but just an interesting thing to think about

 

[hockeyarena]

Will appleton get another penalty for playing for a canadian team?

Will Pionk cause another 5 goals?

Stay tuned tonight!

Yup - when you get it DEEP a couple things happen:

You activate our very strong forecheck which will especially cause problems for the Avs bottom 3 D (I don't think they're that good).
It allows our guys to get set to disrupt the Avs speed through the neutral zone which was the main cause of our issues last game (along with some really sloppy puck management in our zone).
If the Avs aren't attacking our blueline with speed, that lets our D gap up with support and causes some big problems for them.

We have a vociferous debate about why a guy like Ehlers giveaways are particularily troublesome, and the reason is a quick transition offense like the Avalanche feed off that. I'm not trying to single Nik out (I thought he was pretty good last game), but also things like Pionks terrible pass to Vilardi that led to Nichuskin's goal. I put 80% of the blame on Pionk, but it's not like he had a lot of support either.

Such a great old tune. Much love from over here.

Between the game tonight and following Trump's trial all day, zero chance of me getting away from this screen today.

Well, except for when Mrs. Wizard refuses to let me bring my lunch up here to my office.....

 

[kanadalainen]

This.

Lets go mountaineering!

i was yelling it all last game from sec 330, "tighten up the NZ!"

finally some good music on one of these threads.
everyone else posts such garbage.

Well......Bro does have better numbers . I'll counter your crazy counter and ask if Brossoit is the best goalie in the league.

Guys what do I do?

Get up at 5am for the 3rd or wake up at a reasonable hour and somehow miraculously avoid all social media, HF and other spoilers and watch the replay in full

 

[macmaroon]

Thanks @macmaroon now go to bed eh! You’ll need your rest for tomorrow night 8:30PM CST start!

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

What I was going to say has already been said. So...

Go Jets Go!

I'm a big fan of staying off social media and avoiding spoilers until I can see the game in full - makes it more exciting that way.


EDIT: I'm also not on any social media platforms, so this is easy for me to say/do haha

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Going to the game tonight super pumped!

 

[SUX2BU]

thanks Mac

Same offense, more defense please

It's just Instagram for me. Have the bad habit of opening it when I get up. But it's more I wanna be able to jump in the GDT too.

Oh yeah, staying out of HF and the GDT is tough! Also, being in Winnipeg, the Jets are on TV everywhere so avoiding accidental spoilers is tough.

Stay up all night, watch the game, call in tomorrow saying you are having vision problems.

(You don't see yourself going into work that day)



(Seriously, that is a tough one; either way it'd be a sacrifice)
