Series Talk: WCQF: (C3) Colorado Avalanche vs (C2) Winnipeg Jets | Avs Lead 3-1

[Drury_Sakic]

If the speculation on the series starting on Monday is true, it is a huge benefit for the Avs.

Time to rest, practice, heal. Distance from some bad hockey. Jets lose a bit of momentum from a decent end to the year hopefully.

 

[avalanche_country]

That’s game

 

[JWK]

There's nothing to do in Winnipeg which means a lot of down time which means Nichushkin has a lot of down time which means [redacted]

 

[GeoRox89]

Half the board has already been doing it for 6 months now.

I'm going to need to go into the Moderator Assistance Program if this keeps up.

You need a MAP? Best I can do is a 100 year even flood plain map for the Thompson River or a bedrock geology map of the Iron Mask Batholith. Will that be sufficient? I can give you a great deal on the pair

 

[the_fan]

I picked Jets in 4, but it actually might get worse

 

[BobRossColton]

So what draft position does a sweep get us?

We’re going to get the massive sinkhole I pray swallows both arenas for the Jets-Stars series so that both have to forfeit?

Not sure if that would work. They’ll just play their home games in college arenas like the Mullett

 

[Pokecheque]

I’ll admit I’m not feeling great about this series. If there’s one guy out there who’s kinda had Bednar’s number, it’s Bowness.

And apart from the obvious concerns about goaltending, Nichushkin has looked like he’s been going at about 50% for quite some time now.

You underestimate my ability to play sinkhole whack-a-mole just to prevent either team winning

 

[The Merchant]

Just feeling fortunate to get 4 extra Avs games this year

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Ya I genuinely dont think we have much of a chance in this series. Jets were the one team I'd rathered we not face in the playoffs, AND we dont have home ice(We've been average to downright bad on the road this year), Goaltending is a complete disasters that seems to be imploding at the worst time...


Ya, I really do think its another first round exit. Not even sure we force the game 7 this year. Jets in 6 is my prediction.

 

[ASmileyFace]

My pessimistic prediction: Jets in 5. Avs take game 1 but lose four straight as the Jets find their legs and George falters.

My optimistic prediction: Avs in 6. Avs split the home set in Winnipeg, win 3/4, lose 5, and finish it out at home ice.

Either way, this is the least confident I’ve been going into a playoff series since Vegas in 21’. Avs should not be favored even if the bettors and pundits think so. If they manage to find their game and George (or god forbid Justus) give them above league average goaltending watch out tho.

 

[MacKaRant]

You know, despite the bad stylistic matchup, the putrid regular season record, the obvious mismatch in goal, and the niggling injuries to some of our key players, I think the playoff Avs show up and we win in 6.

 

[UncleRisto]

I only hate myself enough to be here.

Wait, that's why I keep coming back here?


I'm going to be optimistic and say Jets in 6.

I was already optimistic with Jets in 5

 

[UncleRisto]

I was already optimistic with Jets in 5

I'm feeling good about this series.

 

[Vaslof]

Avs in 4 if we win the first game.

 

[Puckstop40]

Georgiev is about to go on a Conn Smythe run.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

No faith in the team with this version of Georgiev between the pipes

 

[JH21]

You guys are some of the worst fans I’ve seen in my life. It’s pathetic.

Avs lost the season series 0-3 to the Jets this year.

Lost 4-2, 6-2 and 7-0.

17 goals against. 4 goals scored.

And aside from todays game we ended the last 20 games with a 12-8 record.

So Avs in 6

 

[katfude]

You guys are some of the worst fans I’ve seen in my life. It’s pathetic.

Avs in 6

Man you shoulda been here when the Avs REALLY sucked

 

[Ceremony]

If we last as long as six games I'll genuinely be surprised.

 

[missionAvs]

Waste of 7-8 days. Jets will smother us and we'll have no answer. Embrace eternity.

 

[Bender]

I can't believe the series is TIED right now...I'll take it!
