GDT: Colorado Avalanche vs Winnipeg Jets @7:30PM MNT 4/23/24 Game 2: Jets lead series 1-0

[forsbergavs32]

And that's just it. Game 1 was bonkers, and neither goalie was any good.

Tonight, AG was better. That's a start.

If the Avs keep playing well and can get average goaltending like in 2022 they can win this series. Hopefully this is a boost for George.

Holy f***ing shit, Josh Manson

Walker seems surprising. He did a lot of good stuff tonight.

 

[Grackle Party]

If Nuke keeps up this level of play he’s a conn smythe candidate

 

[missionAvs]

I have something to say - if you don't think Casey Mittelstadt is a GREAT FIT for this team after that game, you don't have a f***in' clue what's going on.

He was frikkin' AWESOME... his board play is unbelievable. For me that was his best game as an Avalanche!

Yes yes and more yes, MittelJost hast looked phenomenal his first 2 playoff games. Really adds an element to this team that we've really been missing for quite some time. His board play is definitely top 3 on the team and his vision is next level to anyone else on the squad.

Eh, he was shaky in the 1st and missed like 15 minutes in protocol

Holy f***ing shit, Josh Manson

Manson was great, but in no world was Cale the fourth worst player on the Avs tonight.

 

[dahrougem2]

Holy f***ing shit, Josh Manson

Remember game 1 vs Edmonton when Manson was awful? He took it to heart and dominated game 2. Same thing tonight.

Manson knows when he is bad. Tonight outside of one bad pinch he rectified his game 1 play.

And I didn't feel JJ was THAT good

 

[JoeSakic13]

I do love how ESPN was slobbering over Helle’s Vezina season all night. Meanwhile homeboy has had 10 goals scored on him in 2 nights.

Walker doesn't surprise me at all. The guy was bad tonight IMO. Also not surprised to see Duhaime down there. Didn't like his game at all. That late penalty in the 3rd can't happen.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Never doubted you George!

Yea duhaime was no bueno. I actually thought Walker was pretty good. But maybe my burgundy colored glasses deceived me.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Can we talk about the slew foot on Walker? Or more importantly can Bednar talk about it?

That's a dangerous play which probably wasn't intentional but can't happen.

Really? I double doubted the f*** out of him. Hell I still doubt him. I'm worried this victory will secure him as the started for the rest of the series, and this will be his only good performance.

That that was a dodgy play that wasn't called likely because of the score of the game. Didn't like it one bit.

Wood, Lehkonen, Parise, Manson, Nichushkin

Lunch pail guys coming through tonight

watching 4givs interview, i now really feel like shit for being so mean... f*** you all for encouraging me... he looks like such a decent kid

The glimmer of hope I saw was after the 1st goal he actually settled in, unlike when usually he implodes. It also helps that the team in front of him buttoned up the defensive side of the game, especially in the 3rd.

People on here getting pissed and ragging on him is whatever. The people who went right to his socials to crap all over him are just sad angry people who need to get lives

No, I ripped him into him big time after game 1... I was being sarcastic lol. But yes I just hope he can keep it up.

 

[Hasbro]

Did not expect that rebound.

 

[avalanche_country]

Shocked really. Maybe there is hope.
Huge win is an understatement

Also not getting swept

At some point in the finals after we go 13 and 0 he'll have a bad game and you'll be right back to ripping into him.

You people will be critiquing how he lifts the cup and the way he spits on ice in Edmonton after the boys sweep McDavid again.
