Post-Game Talk: Avs 6 - Jets 2, Avs lead series 2 -1

[johnnyonthspot]

The headshot interference while pionk was 10 feet from the puck was ridiculous. That's a 5 min powerplay if we're a u.s. team

That was a huge miss by the three blind mice !

 

[Heldig]

Remember that 9 game winning streak? Good times.

Another whimper out in the first round should get Chevy fired.

 

[abax44]

The league will say shut up silly small market canada or we'll move u again. And we'll say yes master.

Yeah, that's how that works. Coyotes starting asking questions and BOOM... relocated 25 yrs later.

 

[hockeyarena]

It's crazy how many people here don't understand cause and effect. The Jets wouldn't have "taken" an entire period of penalties if the refs did their jobs in an unbiased fashion. All the same people who think covid was just an accident after a bat hooked up with a monkey

 

[bustamente]

Now the Jets are still in this especially if they can put it together on Sunday, but if by chance they lose the next two games they can't run it back next year with all the same cast of characters.

What's a flock of butterflies called? Because here's some more for u. Pionk, demelo, hellebuyck, Schmidt, ehlers, Connor, monahan, toffoli, Gustafson, iafallo

A kaleidoscope because of the colours. All I saw in the third was brown and a bit of red.

 

[raideralex99]

Can bitch about the refs all you want, but when you have the 21st ranked PK going up against the 5th ranked PP... it's not going to be a good outcome.

How hard is it to win a playoff game knowing you can't take a single penalty because it's going to end up in your net. NO ONE should be surprised by this as people were complaining about the PK all season.

Well right now the Oilers are 3/7 on the PP tonight and the Kings have one of the top PK in the league.
Even Debrusk said the penalties calls were weird. Game management?

Three home games! Chevy is getting a nice bonus.

But we got a PP with 5 min left when we were down 5-2!

The 8 game winning streak at the end of the season was garbage time. Nice to win but non consequential.

 

[AussieBomberJet]

The reality is that if we are having this much trouble against Colorado, even if we somehow win this series we don't stand a chance against Vegas, sadly.

 

[Larabee]

All these years and you still don’t know Chevy.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

I'm mad but not with the boys.

Might not have been pretty but they went onto the ice in the 3rd with a 2-1 lead. Next thing you know, the officials start throwing the book at them, after letting dodgy shite from Colorado slide all night.

We all saw it.

If you're forced to kill penalties for the majority of the period, it's not going to end well. Yeah the boys haven't played grade A hockey but they had a chance to steal this one. That's all you need to do in the playoffs.

I'm just going to say it, the NHL clearly wants us out, so I guess it's time to nut up. A 2-1 hole on the road is a hole, but I've seen worse. Time to play with fire in the belly. Time to come out in game 4 and die trying.

F the Avalanche, F zebras, F sports media personnel and F the NHL. We're all we've got.

Come hell or high water, I'm going down with the ship. See you Sunday.

This is a gutless bunch save for Lowry but kudos to you for staying positive

Apparently getting outshot 40-24 means your goaltender is the problem.

Ii is not his fault but he is not coming up with the big save when needed. Same can be said for the supposed stars like Scheif , Ehlers and Connor.
There has also been no one to step up and take the team on its back. Lowry tries but is limited.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Saw a close up of Dillon's hand and its way more brutal than I thought in the moment. Looks like a big slice, apparently his hand got stepped on by a skate.

Really hope its not as bad as it looks and it heals quickly but I won't be surprised if some important tendons/nerves are severed with some lasting damage

Kaleidoscope

Nothing I can do about Chevy I said my peace about him last year and it stands to this day.

 

[Do or Die]

Need more guys on D that can actually carry the puck and make plays out of our end. Too much chips and dumps to nowhere. JM must be one exhausted dude, at this point.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

5 power plays in the first 10 mins of the 3rd for one team but you don’t call interference and tripping calls on them is all you need to know about the game.
The people blaming Hellebuyck for the loss are just as bad as the refs if not worse.

It was ridiculous. Helly was not the sole reason but the 5 hole goal contributed to the downward spiral. The Jets best players once again are not being their best players

Hmm Declan Chisholm would have been nice...

Declan Chisholm doesn't do that. If he were here he'd be playing the exact same system.

He can move the puck. Did you see him with Minni?

 

[DrChar]

If chevy is making a call to the head office I’d rather it be about the playoff seeding format than the referreeing. Avs were cup favorites going into playoffs for a reason

 

[sipowicz]

It's more like trying to draw attention to a crumbling education system and only seeing people complain about no school lunches.

I'd love to watch a game with you, though. I think we'd actually get along really well.

Small class sizes, 5-6 TA’s in each classroom sure hasn’t improved the education system……

 

[tbcwpg]

He can move the puck. Did you see him with Minni?

I did. I don't expect the result to have been any different with him here. If we're talking about Chisholm being a difference maker I feel we're really reaching for things to criticize when there's plenty of other stuff much worse than losing Chisholm.

 

[bustamente]

Maybe Lauer can study the Avs pp tomorrow, they put 2 guys in front of the net and fire away, while our team admire their passes and barely get a shot off.

I don't know how much major reconstruction can be done. Ehlers is probably the only player they could get a return on. The UFAs will likely be gone (Monahan, Toffoli, Dillon - who likely played his last game as a Jet tonight). Time for a youth movement? Chibrikov, Lambert and Heinola? Maybe Salomonsson - but probably not in the NHL next year.

Connor-Scheifele-Villardi (which hasn't really been great)
Appleton-Lowry-Niederreiter (3rd line with 2nd line minutes)
Chibrikov-Lambert-Perfetti (Benched, Benched and Benched the first time they make a mistake)
Barron-Names-Whatever

Morrissey-Demelo?
Samberg-Heinola?
Stanley-Schmidt?

Hellebuyck
Probably a significantly worse backup than Brossoit

Does that lineup make the playoffs? I'm not including whatever they get back for Ehlers, but I have a feeling it'll be a bit disappointing. A Monahan/Toffoli grade player and maybe a late pick?
