He wasn't the reason they lost. Winnipeg were outplayed badly in every game except maybe game 5, you're asking a lot from a goalie to stop the highest scoring team in the league when you're chasing all game.

Winnipeg never gets past the second round, so its not surprising for them. For the other three I agree tho.

He's universally praised by the stats crowd, who I usually have time for they do good work, but he's so infuriating to watch. He's unpredictable which is why coaches don't trust him. He's good for o-zone giveaways aplenty every game.

Somehow the avs aren't the first team to score 5+ goals in each of their first 5 postseason games.
Ya I dont trust Georgie to get the job done ultimately.

Probably against 2 different teams.

They were but when your goalie is your best player you need him to shut the door for stretches let the team find their game.

Ehlers straight up did not show up. Monahan was horrible. Morrisey though, oh man what a beauty. He's like Devon Toews's best traits added to Girardi's best traits.

The Jets need one more top line forward, Jake Guentzel would have been the perfect fit on their 2nd line. But the Jets couldn’t keep up with the Avs speed, they were chasing the play most of the series.
The Avs depth is no joke this year. They’ve got a second line center who does a lot of the little things that contribute to winning and their bottom lines play fast and heavy. There’s no point in the game where you are going to get to slow down the pace and take a breather.
And this was without one of their better offensive catalysts this year on the ice for a minute of this series and their captain still perms-shelved.
CMac deserves a lot of credit for being active in addressing the things that sank this team’s title defense last year. Active and productive summer, quickly pivoted off the RyJo mistake and then insulated everything at the trade deadline.
Only gets harder from here though. Next round, regardless of opponent, is going to be brutal.

Congrats to the Avalanche, they deservedly advance after handing us our lunch.
Good luck the rest of the the way!

Your best players need to be your best players to win. The jets best player happens to be their goalie.
I'm also a Rangers fan, so I've soured on him pretty heavily. I'm still hoping to meet you guys in the final though, NYR vs COL!

A good series, I admit I thought the Jets would give the avs more of a run
This core just hasn't had that edge since 2018. Losing Byfuglien and 3 others took years to try and find players that could step up. Asking Pionk and Schmidt to be reliable in their own end was an effort in futility against this Avs team.
Against pretty much any team really. Those two are terrible.

What surprised me most with the Avs was their commitment to team defense. The book on the Avs was they aren't good in their own zone and let in a lot of goals. Game 1 was a nonsense game but after that they had tight gaps and speed. Jets were outplayed and have some soul searching to do.

Ehlers is a career playoff failure, the dude never shows up. And Hellebuyck I dont think has ever had good numbers in the playoffs. He’s been horrible. He’s just not mentally sharp.
Doesn't combining Toews and Girard just give you a shorter Toews with a mustache?
Yes Morrisey is damn good. But he's on a bit of an island. I don't even remember half their names but the Jets had some slugs out there. Big dumb guy, Plunk, and whoever else were terrible all series.
It's hard for the offense to get going when the D can't make basic 15 foot passes to start moving the puck up ice.
The xGF in this series was 60%. That’s not fair ask. The rest of the jets failed much harder than he did.

I'm honestly sort of ready to rip it apart and try something else. This core can definitely play some great games, but I never have faith in them coming through when it counts.

They still can’t defend a cycle worth a damn, I really expected the jets to dump puck and hit our D. That would have went a long way imo….
