I'm an Avs fan, but I'm not going to claim victory on the series until they've won all 4 games. We've all seen teams come back from 3-0 (just last season), it isn't over until it's over and the Jets are a really good team. This is so fun to watch!

[@TechSyndicate83]

I truly hope Namestnikov is ok, that puck to the face looked brutal. With that said, GO AVS!!

[@Vezinabuyck]

From a Jets fan, please beat VGK next round if they make it past Dallas

[@grantp4022]

@@Vezinabuyck they will knock off Dallas, and likely win the Cup. They are the Cup champs last year for a reason. A tough out !!!

[@soulknife20]

​@grantp4022 Vegas had a pretty easy path to the Cup. The biggest challenge was Dallas, and that was 4 games to 2 win in the conference finals. Panthers really had no business being in the Cup finals and it showed.

[@timburns7491]

Colorado is still Colorado. They have the horses to win it all again.

[@grantp4022]

They really do, and might win it all, only big obstacle is Vegas, the last year's Cup champs. Do not underestimate Vegas.

There’s a chance still , it’s a slim one but there’s a still chance

[@user-zz3rr4qf1p]

I agree with Rick! The players aren't carrying the puck into the Avs' zone, often they are dumping the puck in, and it is often a 50% chance the Colorado team will recover that dumped puck. I saw a few wild passes made by players to nobody without looking, which again causes turnovers. On Defense in Game 2-3-4 Colorado had a player or two standing in front of our Goalie waiting for rebounds and screening the shots. At times the players in front of the goal were tipping shots making life hell for the goalie. It seemed like the Jets skaters all ignored the guys in front of the net letting them do what they like which seems to me like a bad defensive strategy. Someone should be pushing and tying up sticks etc of players loitering in front of the Jets' goal. Players on their team are skating from their zone to the Jets' zone without being hit or slowed down... all that momentum isn't great. I recommend the forecheck and even hitting people in the neutral zone to slow them down. Finish checks and keep pressure on the Avs so they don't have luxury of time to plan passing plays etc. How do I think they can win? Well, first the Jets need to get physical and battle more along the boards, avoid wild passing over long distances that could get intercepted. Keep the passes short and crisp. If needed they should really dump the puck far from Colorado players so they have time to get set in a defensive posture. Try to keep passes short and accurate. Slow the game down to a calm pace, and don't make wild passes without confirming there is a friendly player ready to receive that pass. Colorado I've noticed is constantly interfering with players that do not have the puck, and the Refs aren't calling that. So by slowing down the game speed a bit, it will reduce the impact of interference.. might also make it more likely the Ref will notice the interference. If the puck is a long way off and a player is interfering with the progess of a player, the ref might be too focused on the puck. But if the interference happens closer to the puck.. he might see it and call them for it.

[@pronouncedZordonnie]

Avs aren't carrying the puck into zone either, except for McKinnon. They're dumping and chasing. Avs speed is the difference. They're skating the Jets into oblivion and control tempo whenever they want.

[@user-zz3rr4qf1p]

@@pronouncedZordonnie I can't say that you are wrong, though I feel they did pass the puck more. They definitely were faster.

[@Quinton_Hockey_Network]

It’s interesting to hear what he had to say

[@dannyjackson5356]

Bowness likes to play a tight close game, but it often will bite you in the ass onc eyou go down a couple. The entire mood has to shift to get back into those games where they are trailing. By the time the offense starts clicking its often too late. this made dallas fans go crazy, especially when you have the fire power to get the job done and instead bowness rather lean on the players he trusts to play his system. When you see nothing but dum and chase you are witnessing the breakdown in the Bowness turtle strat

[@supaflydann]

Out coached. Out skilled. Outplayed. Out of the playoffs

[@trentmckay1055]

As a lifelong Jets fan I hope Helly says enough is enough and packs his bags and leaves! He is getting virtually no help and is expected to win these games by himself. On top of that Brossoit wil be a starting goalie somewhere else next year. Without them the Jets would be lucky to get 80 points in a season!!

[@Kristy-rt7rb]

I mean…Jets are capable of this comeback, no doubt in my mind. But asking *will* they do it is completely different. Not only are the stats against us, but there’s no evidence in our current gameplay to give me any confidence. Avs in…6 if the Jets are lucky.

[@pronouncedZordonnie]

Jets are not capable of a comeback. Not fast enough to handle Avs speed or forecheck. Sorry, but the facts hurt

[@darrenfarion2079]

The Av's are better! Enough said!

[@grantp4022]

IF and it's a "big" IF the Jets can win the next game, it could turn this series around, but I'd say the Avs take this in 5 or 6 games.

[@mrmanitoba]

Bros better start game 5

[@betahumanx]

Lol Scheifele was right. Bowness is a stubborn fella who does the same things all over again expecting different results. Hopefully he is gone next year because the Jets got simply outcoached. I mean look at the Predators lineup and what they have accomplished under Brunnette, it is insane. Chevy brought together a solid lineup but Bowness and his "structure" mantra just isn't working, it isn't the goddamn 90's anymore

Said after game 1 (barely won) that Brossoit should be played. Some did not like my statement. I went on a hunch to change things up. We list the last 3 games since. We are almost done. Why didn’t upper Jets management see what I saw. Today Brossoit never let in 1 goal is the 3rd period??????

[@Vezinabuyck]

Are you slow? It’s the Jets defence not the goaltending. The Avalanche can skate to any spot they want to on the ice. Brossoit didn’t let in a goal cause the Avs didn’t need another goal, they sat back and played defensive. Some of you I swear watch the game with your eyes closed.

[@lk69ak65bl1]

That's because the avs were playing a trap and not going on the attack in the 3rd period. There was no need to risk turn overs and hurt your players up 4-1. They only got a few shots in the 3rd. Brossit has a 100% save percentage because he only faced like 5 shots .

[@KCM316]

I mean Brossoit hasn’t faced a full Avs offense yet just because he hasn’t allowed a goal in the 3rd peroid doesn’t mean anything. The Avs didn’t need to score goals they were 3 goals ahead

[@djjuicyfruit]

This isn’t a goaltending issue for the Jets.

[@jayddd4946]

Ehlers 1st line. NOT 3rd line and NOT 2nd either. 1st line. Ya, Ehlers made a few mistakes, but he's playing with guys that are not very fast, it just doesn't work, not in playoffs anyways. He can bring energy to this team, and he's being held back in my opinion. Also, everyone seems to be worrying about the "system" so much, when I think they just need to go for it, 100% all in, 100% energy, creativity, every moment of every shift. I was a Bones system believer, but not anymore, doesn't work in playoffs, not for this team anyways. Perfetti, I would normally say 100% no don't, but, at this point maybe, but only if Ehlers is on 1st line. too late probably anyways, but what the heck...

[@Benesii]

Bones can't play the game, only suggest how to play. The players haven't played anywhere near the right way. Avs are winning.

When guys like Ehlers disappear year after year in the playoffs you’re not winning anything. I don’t mind losing I mind watching a disinterested team going through the motions eager to start their summer on the lake. This organization is accustomed to losing and Chipman is ok with that. Sticking with the same architect for a decade with no results is unacceptable. Fire Chevy get some guys who hate to lose and rebuild this team for the fans who deserve better.
