"Both been kinda bad" Jets have won 8 straight.

[@red3here]

In regular season yes but regular season is over.

[@LGR0910]

​@@red3here Still matters lol

[@19KarlMarx]

Yeah not sure what the heck Adam is talking about

[@Cajanek026]

lol yeah as an Avs fan I can tell you that part is only accurate for us. The Jets have looked great.

[@nicholasdabruzzo1662]

yea, jets struggled for a bit a couple weeks ago but seem to have come out of it recently so maybe he’s still stuck in that mindset

[@mattheww7846]

The Jets are literally the hottest team in the league going into the playoffs

[@trevmac8362]

Patrick Roy once stopped 123 shots over a 10 win in a row OT stretch where the Habs won under severe clutch conditions . Leave it up to Connor Hellebuyck to let in 35 goals in 5 games. Connor Hellebuyck is the biggest anti-clutch piece of crap in NHL history. And I'm an M.I.T Grad who's field of expertise is statistical forensics . You put me in a Court of Law and I could prove it. Connor Hellebuyck is the biggest FRAUD in NHL history > 2- 14 in his last 16 playoff series .. Get rid of this overrated piece of crap and anyone disagree I'll be more than happy to obliterate,annihilate and destroy you WAITS For the Loser that wants to take me on I'm Waiting

[@antiqueslivers]

I love it when people review teams they clearly haven't followed...at all.

[@KairiDivine]

Imagine having to do basic research for your job. How can you even say Jets have been bad to end the season.

Jets have been on a heater lmao. Im not even a jets fan but ik that 😂. Jets in 6

[@scotthayward7257]

"Both teams who have not cared as of late" Jets have won the last 8, including defeating Dallas 3-0 (before Dallas clinched the division, mind you) and Colorado 7-0. As for the Avalanche, they are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games played. I appreciate SDPN and love what you guys are doing, you just need some more resources to get you some more background information before recording these videos (easier said than done when you're trying to build something different, and frankly better from my perspective, than what traditional sports media is currently offering...).

[@Cajanek026]

I also love SDPN but definitely agree on the prep for coverage of teams other than the Leafs, especially the Western Conference ones. I'm an Avs fan and they've gotten very basic details about our team wrong on a few different occasions now. Find a hungry recent journalism grad and give them an assistant producer title or something - pulling together some background on subjects you plan to cover is absolutely something you can delegate.

[@snach9700]

these guya need stick to the laughs (leafs)

[@KingKabalIII]

Typical Toronto media. If it's not about the Laffs, they completely tune out.

[@TheTempleOfBoom]

These guys are sniffing glue .

[@deltagolavista1]

As other have mentioned, Jets are on a tear lately. Depth and goaltending is going to be the difference. Jets in 6

[@Aether7300]

The jets are currently on an 8 game win streak, idk what you mean by them being kinda bad

[@red3here]

That’s in the regular season this is the playoffs.

[@Aether7300]

​@@red3here0:06 he literally says the jets have been kind of bad. The jets have been playing out of their minds and I'm pretty sure they tied a franchise win streak record at the same time.

[@LGR0910]

​@@red3here They've been playing very good well other teams have been on losing streaks

[@anthonyfaccaro7118]

​@@red3herejets outscored avs 17-4. 'Lets just ignore that, avs werent really trying.' You bandwagon fans are hilarious.

this is brutal.... need to do some research. both teams care, jets won 8 in a row, jets beat dal and avs last time round. stick to the leafs.

[@jetskfc]

Jets have completely turned it on and have won 8 in a row. Idk what you're talking about.

[@xNanoSwinex]

Some would say… they’ve turned on the jets

[@Cajanek026]

As an Avs fan, the goaltending matchup in this series has me shitting bricks. Georgiev has been an unreliable head case who melted down in every single big game down the stretch. Annunen is a promising prospect with starter upside (yet another product of the Duchene trade lmao) but has a limited body of work at the NHL level - he's looked good when he's played, but he hasn't played much and backstopping a cup contender is a lot to ask of a player that young. I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like we're about to burn a year of our amazing core's prime on shaky goaltending. My God, is this what being an Oilers fan feels like??

[@-gumby-3381]

I was so upset Sakic didn't go get a #1 goalie at the trade deadline. Even just Fleury would've been a great upgrade over Georgiev...

[@Max_Coolman]

Jets in 5. The Avs rode their stars too hard through 82 games, no goaltending. Jets are the sleeper pick for the Canada’s team this time.

[@peter69215]

Couldn't have been more wrong there pal. 😬

[@TakeDownLegend]

As a hockey fan this was INSULTING. TRY a little you bums. Google something FFS.

[@redwings90]

I think whoever wins this series will win the stanley cup to be honest

[@mastersquid20]

Jets are a legit threat, but I don't know if Nate Dogg and Makar let this team go out in the first again. Annunen and Mittlestat are huge wild cards

[@jizzaymz]

Jets on an 8 game heater.. the eff is that 1st guy smokin'??? Jets in 6

[@cale373]

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

[@ClaymanV]

guys i get you cant be experts on all the teams all of the time but like...the jets are on fire rn, just...just google the teams before hand, its not that hard to google lmao

[@kathygreenlay73]

No mention that the Jets also just won the Jennings Trophy - allowed only 199 goals for the season. Only the Panthers were in the vicinity at 200.

[@Kwolf1]

GO JETS GO!!! Bring home the Stanley Cup!

[@goodman7097]

Mac has 140 for the season not 138. Just set the record for Avs all the time.

[@Middle_King]

As an Avs fan I can confidently say that Winnipeg will play much better defense and has better goaltending. The Avs have given up among the most high danger chances against this season which has really hurt Georgiev's confidence down the stretch. His underlying numbers actually still show him as a net positive based on GSAx, so if the Avs can tighten up on the back end and limit high danger chances Georgiev can get into a groove, but expect his leash to be short (Annunen possible by game 3). However 2 of 3 games between these teams during the season the Avs were missing a key piece, 1 game Makar, 1 game Rantanen, the game where both teams were full strength was a 4-2 Jets win where Hellebyuck saved 32 of 34. Losing Logan O'Connor will be an underrated massive loss for the Avs PK and bottom 6, my gut says Jets pull it off but it might be tighter than the season series suggests.

[@ruskokollektiv5457]

Yeah, you got it I think. It'll all come down to if the Avs can establish their playoff defensive system. We saw that absolutely smother teams in '22, and if that's what they do, Georgiev won't have to carry much. And then the offensive strength of the Avs will win it with MacKinnon going crazy, and Rants and Makar waking up fully. If not, then it'll probably be a difficult and painful series where the Jets move on

[@InsignificantNick]

I don't trust Georgiev at all.

[@jekcu3693]

I’m so nervous going into this series because going off the regular season, you could assume the jets will pretty easily beat Colorado, but you just never know what the playoffs bring. I want the jets to take it, but I’m not going to get excited until I see how both teams are playing.

[@king_rich0088]

As an avs fan it'll be a miracle if the avs beat this jets team. If they end up pulling it off they go to the cup finals. But the jets are just that tough. Jets in 5
