GDT: Round 1 Game 4 Playoffs: Jets @ Avs Apr 28, 2024 – 1:30 PM CT. TV: CBC; Radio: 680 CJOB/Power 97

[Bender]

You’ll still have a good record at 9-4!!

Thank you for looking at the bright side of things for us

It's God's work you're doing.

 

[Bender]

I don't know who's going to lose today but one thing is for sure, it will be the fault of some crusty old Dean!!!

(Surely one of these dorks is named 'Dean')

 

[Anders Cain]

Gonna be a series shifter either way... Either the jets tie the series and reset... Or the avs take a strangle hold.. Excited to see what happens

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

This is always the way for 90% of series. Game four always the most crucial as most series sit at 2-1.

The turning point game - will it be 2-2 or 3-1.

So you think a 3-0 series sits at 10% for the non crucial games?

[BMOK33]

You have to take advantage of this start time if you're the Jets. Home teams tend to be flat in these 1230-2pm starts early on or soemtimes even the entire game.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

No namer scrub Jonsson-Fjällby in the lineup before Perfetti is certainly a choice, a classic Rick Bowness choice.

 

[Hunter368]

Avs aren’t great defensively or in net generally speaking, but they are everything the Leafs aspire to be. Great offensive team who out scores its defensive weaknesses and have been doing it well the last two games.

 

[PaulD]

Nah. The Jets should play better defence than what they have been which was Sharks/Blackhawks level bad through 3 games.

and Hellebuyck is part of that. He gets glory when then do .....he's part of it when they don't.

 

[BMOK33]

I think its safe to say both COL/EDM are vulnerable next round due to their goaltending, assuming they advance. Its hard to like either as a cup champion unless some rando like the Lightning/Isles/Leafs somehow came out of the eastern conference but they probably could get there, especially if they did not have to go through Vegas

Leafs don't have a Makar , Teows, or Girard. There us little to no offence coming from the back end. Not s shole lotta Defence for that matter. And nobody backnthere has a shot..
Aves powerplay is deadly.....leafs is impotent.

 

[Fatass]

Yup. Hellybuck has been terrible.

Nice seeing the Jets- Colorado series getting the big half hour national pre-game show before the important game 4. Sprotsnet (Toronto) have really outdone themselves.

Skinner and Georgiev are capable of being acceptable starters though. They've shown it before they just seem to struggle between the ears. They're both capable of being as good or better on any given night than Thompson or Hill.

The Oil are probably the only team that can out score their problems.
But theu may rin into a wall.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Kovalenko era begins

 

[BMOK33]

Against those Rangers/Canes defenses they'd need to hope Igor or Andersen were just awful all series. Probably same goes for Vegas defense, they'd need Thompson to be bad

 

[Ararana]

It's going to be a shame when the refs rig this game for the Avs by throwing Vilardi's stick into Toews' face.

 

[avsfan9]

It is a matinee game and could say that the Avs don't do well on those. Don't get me wrong, I want the Avs to win, but with this being almost a must win for the Jets and the fact it is a matinee game, just not sure

No excuses. Avs will show up! If Winnipeg win it’s because they earned it today.

I honestly don’t see any stand out d on Winnipeg outside of Morrissey. Avs are by far the better defensive team especially when it comes to the playoffs.

 

[Kerberos]

Helle actually has to show up and try to steal a game eventually, right?

That said... 1-0 Avs in 4OT.

 

[Freudian]

I pick Makar in 2OT.

Cmon Vegas has Logan Thompson not really Hasek or Roy tier goaltending
