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

A little further on this subject ........... Both Schmidt and Miller played every game when VGK knocked us out and went on to win the Cup in '18. Each played in all 20 games and scored 7 pts. Of course they are older now, but that is a mix of good and bad. Both have better foot speed than Stanley does.

Washington won the cup in 18 …..

 

[Jets 31]

Sure - just don't be counting on another 7 goals against Georgiev.



True.
But if we never talk about the things we have no control over, what will we talk about?

Your right i'm counting on 8 , yes 8 Ha , Ha , Ha....

 

[Vinther]

Either way we have no control over the line up and I tend to believe stars have more control over whether we win or lose then the 6th d or 12th forward.

I would like to see a little bit more faith from Bones in the 4th line & 3rd pairing in terms of ice time. But admitted the not likely that the players he select will get less time than the one he have in the press box. So I just hope they play well and make it easier for us as a team to win

I still fear our PK more than any of our 5v5 formations

 

[hockeyarena]

You wear both!

That's called the Zhamnov

 

[WpgSteve]

My prediction for tonight:

Jets score 4 goals on the first 6 shots. Georgiev gets pulled. Holm let's in 6 goals in 7 shots and leaves the ice in tears. Colorado plays the rest of the game with 6 skaters and the Jets score15 goals on the empty net.

Final score: Jets 25, Avs 0

First game jitters out of the way. Jets get back closer to their game tonight. 4-3 OT for the good guys. Feisty Danish bastard with the winner at 5:43 OT1

 

[Zippity]

Is game on CBC tonight? Have to get the paper clip ready if it’s on that channel

I'd have more faith in your prediction is Holm was playing tonight.

Spoiler alert - he isn't.

Depth is important in the playoffs. Rolling your lines confidently keeps everyone rested as much as possible. I think Schmidt gets the start on the road over Stanley. Samberg needs to be on his strong side, especially against what is likely the fastest or 2nd fastest team in the league.

More concerned about how that second line ehlers line has to get going. Everyone knows Colorado don’t have depth so that means they are seeing some really soft lines they have to win against.

 

[robertocarlos]

I thought Kypreos was pretty smart but he has the Avs winning tonight. He's a big dummy.

Its more of a concern how their second line was crushing us...

Crowd has one job tonight and that's to absolutely finish georgievs mental state and career like we did ryan Miller.

That's the only channel it's on in Canada.

i read the first sentence, realized you live in a fantasy world and moved on.

there is no world where Schmidt is a better skater than 44. None.

Difference between being a good skater and a fast skater. I never claimed Schmidt was a better skater. Morrissey is a fantastic skater, his straight line speed has always been wildly overrated because people think good skater=fast skater.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

LOL seriously .

 

[robertocarlos]

Start the hockey game at 7 pm. There are already a few people passed out on the sidewalk beside CLC.

 

[Dr Amazing204]

Anyways 4giev bounces back with 4 goals allowed with a 5-4 OT win for the Avs.

Let’s hope it doesn’t have the opposite effect and wake him up.

I like it!

Lateral skating is far more important.

There are ALWAYS a few people passed out on the sidewalk outside CLC

 

[KingBogo]

Not sure waking up is the issue. He just isn’t very good.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Let’s hope it doesn’t have the opposite effect and wake him up.

Wake him up from what? Being a below average goalie instead of out right deplorable.

 

[Jet]

Really depends on the situation.

I may have started drinking too early

 

[Buffdog]

Wake him up from what? Being a below average goalie instead of out right deplorable.

He has had a .919 season in the past
