They can keep up with their speed but they’re playing scared to commit to stripping the puck off the Avs player, and aren’t taking the body in open ice. So they’re letting Avalanche players run around and be shifty and make great passes and are sitting on their heels scared to over commit. Colorado to their credit aren’t taking their offence along the boards where Winnipeg can defend well against. All Colorado’s offence is kept in open ice. It’s pretty fun to watch, despite my pool about to be severely dumped with Winnipeg players all over as I thought they’d win it all.

This is exactly right, even down to the pool bit!
I am hoping Colorado gets the "just keep doing what we're doing" yips, and the Jets adjust. Bring the series back to Winnipeg all tied up.
Go Jets!
