GDT: Round 1 - Game 5 - Colorado Avalanche @ Winnipeg Jets - Tuesday, April 30th, 2024 - 8:30pm CDT - CBC/Sportsnet West - CJOB/Power 97

[Do or Die]

Stanley has already been issued a 2-minute minor for driving with underinflated tires to the morning skate.

After getting hit with a city zoning variance, due to height.....

 

[The Blue Baron]

So it begins.

Which team is dingle hopper and which is darth poopious?

 

[UFO]

Which team is dingle hopper and which is darth poopious?

We are blue.

 

[Do or Die]

How many days, till game time?

 

[The Blue Baron]

28 days

Nice to see they’re gonna die on that Hellebuyck hill. God this organization is making it harder and harder to like them every day.

Somehow i knew if Bowness played all the right players and all the right lines people would still bitch . I look at it as well at least he's trying stuff and hopefully we get a big win tonight.

Hey, this is HFJets, that's what we do. You should know better...

What?

 

[KingBogo]

I feel like I would feel a lot better about the series if it was 2-2 right now and the Jets lost tonight to make it 3-2, than if they win tonight to make it 3-2. It’s funny how the mind works.

I'm kind of the opposite. We win tonight and we get some wind in our sails, and then we go to Colorado with a chance to force game 7. Anyways, despite the gloom and doom I'm not willing to throw in the towel yet. I'll be there tonight dressed in white and cheering myself hoarse.

If they do lose and the powerkill and penalty kill both suck, I'm going to root around for @Ponds post outlining Lauer's history with the Ducks as their special team coach and re-post it daily in the off-season.

I couldn’t agree more. When were mired in our losing skid I had thought it would have been a good time to fire him then. No excuses in the off-season.

Here is hoping for their best game of the season tonight!

Let's be real... the best chance of the Jets winning a game is Helle stealing one for us. He's the last guy you should be scratching.

 

[macmaroon]

MMMMmmmmm

6 hours 20 minutes to go before puck drop.

And I'm still awake...

Agreed. If you have a Vezina goalie you ride him. If he gets one lights out game we just might see unbeatable Helly.

Sometimes I think it would've been better for this team to miss the playoffs then being embarrassed by a first round exit.

Then again who wants to throw me out a window......

 

[macmaroon]

Don't forget to get your guesses into the Prediction Contest thread while you still have time. Could be your last chance...

Helle will be here next year and beyond LB will not, you don't piss off your starter in an elimination game.

1/2 the teams who make the playoffs have a 1st round exit. And we aren't there yet.

 

[winnipegger]

Hellebuyck deserves the starts. Safe to assume he's on a short leash though. If he lets in a softy in period 1 won't be surprised to see LB in period 2 to spark the team.

 

[Orrrules]

Jets got the moves tonight

 

[ecolad]

The primary issue has been one of line matchups. It`s not Mckinnon`s line that has hurt us, it`s the fact that Scheif`s line hasn`t been able to contain their second line (Mittlestadts). I`m really hopeful that the adjustment tonight to Ehlers/Sheif/Vilardi just might be what`s needed. GJGooo.

I also think his leash is short. If he loses tonight, I bet that we won't see him in any more playoff games this season.

Yup, we need to win the non Mack matchup tonight

Have a great time and i really hope the Jets give you lots to cheer about tonight .

 

[Howard Chuck]

Full blender out, hope if they go out they go out with a fight this year.

I think this is the exact lineup I request yesterday!
