WCQF: Winnipeg Jets [CEN2] vs Colorado Avalanche [CEN3] (Avs lead 3-1)

[dammage79]

Jets in 6. Goaltending will be the difference and it may even be 5 games.

Yeah, the only way the Jets win this is if Hellebuyck steals 3 games and they win 8-7 on the other.

No sign of Landeskog hey? I would normally cheer for Colorado as a better chance to take out the Oilers if they make it to the WCF but if hes not there i'm full on the Jets train considering the much better goaltending.

Jets in 6

The playoffs are all about goaltending. Jets in six.

Landeskog hasn’t played a game in nearly two full years. Even if he does play I wouldn’t necessarily expect much.

One rough thing about being in Cape Breton as I can't hop in a plane for under 200 bucks and take a 90-minute flight home to see a playoff game. There's something magical about a home playoff game in Winnipeg and all the fans in white.

Avs have that experience of winning in the playoffs to rely on, so I imagine they will pick up their game from what we saw the last few weeks. However, they aren't that great defensively anymore as a team, and their goaltending is suspect. Still, with the offensive talent they have, it's hard to ignore their chances of winning the series.

Winnipeg has that elite goaltending and good team defense, but you still need to score to win games. If their top offensive guys show up, they'll win this series. If they're a no show yet again, they lose fairly quickly.

I would like to believe that the Jets will finally get over their playoff hump, but I just don't have any past evidence to expect it. Avs in 7. This will be a back and forth series. Whichever team shores up the holes in their game will win.

After being a disbeliever I think the Jets win it all this year. Against New York. I think they get this series done in six.

I've had very real feeling dreams about being in Winnipeg for game 6 beating the Rangers.

[Shazam]

Avs in 4.

[Zary's-Mustache]

Jets in 5.

Colorado has no goalie and the Jets have a top 3 goalie. That'll be the difference.

I hope colorado wins but I don't see it.

[Canada 02]

Jets swept the season series 3-0
4-2, 5-2 and 7-0 were the scores
go figure

That's not true at all. He was announced he was going to play a week before the playoffs last year.

You are 100% wrong. The Knights announced it and activated him the day before game one on April 17.

[agulati]

Jets in 6. Lack of top tier goaltending is going to hurt the Aves this year

Like how people said that about Kucherov when he missed a whole year and then came back for the playoffs? 32 points in 23 games. These guys are pro athletes, they find it quick again.
