Girard was solidGirard is not a playoff performer, it doesn’t even matter if he doesn’t come back
The Jets are just withering under this firepower. Unreal. If we can shoot Hellebuyck full of holes like this the rest of the conference should be quaking.

I don’t know who told you this but they were wrongIf we take a pause for a second and realize what is going on in this series, everyone should be very positive and confident about our chances.
This is the likely vezina winning goalie and we're putting 5+ past him each night. This is supposed to be the stingiest d core in the league and we are eviscerating them. This is meant to be a team with great depth and team defense and we are out skating and our forechecking them.
After we dispatch of the jets look at the goalies in the West we have to deal with. Name one goalie we could meet before Bob who is as good as Helly. Or a D core.
I'm not suggesting that no team in the West is tough to beat, Vegas likely would be. But if George can maintain his play for games 2 and 3, I don't see a team beating us in the West.
Had to take a look myself. Just 9 straight pages of bitching about the refs calling obvious penalties. Woof, not a good look for a group of fans who mostly picked the Jets in 5 lolHad a look on the Jets board. The refs are starting to factor into it. Delicious. As long as our true MVPs are firing we can't be stopped.
Haven’t the Oilers been a better defensive team than the Jets just playing in front of Skinner and Pickard or was that a fever dream I had?The Jets being a stingy defensive team has been a myth all year. They WANT to be that but they sure don't execute. Go look at how many chances they gave up this season. IIRC they were 21st.
They were saved by a Vezina winning goalie.
The Oilers were I believe a top five defensive team this season.Haven’t the Oilers been a better defensive team than the Jets just playing in front of Skinner and Pickard or was that a fever dream I had?
We have many players on this team that are made for playoffs. Duheime, Colton, Wood, Mitts, Lehky. Nuke, Drouin and that is not including our superstars. Our depth players underperform or play decently during regular season but they elevate their games to another dimension come playoffs.The Avs depth has been severely underestimated this entire season.
That's what is most encouraging. They're not winning solely relying on their top end talent anymore. CMac deserves a lot of credit for the complete overhaul.
You have to think about it but going full Luongo Schneider when you just committed to one guy for 7 years and the other is a 31 year old career backup is the kind of thing that can set teams back much more than just losing this series. Helle is the guy that got them there. Turning on him now could go very badlyxGF at 5v5 last night 2.87 - 1.86 for Winnipeg. All situations it was 3.77 - 3.04 for Colorado.
So Georgiev played above average and Hellebuyck again played well below average.
He'd probably get crucified trying it but you have to wonder if Bowness isn't seriously considering turning to Lauren Brossoit at some point.

Sure, but the Parise goal was brutal, the MacKinnon goal went right through him and he was swimming on the Nichushkin goal.You can’t really ignore the power plays though.
Don’t get me wrong Helly has underwhelmed in this series, but the Jets gave up a ton of chances last night. Several of those goals are getting by everyone.
