Post-Game Talk: Avs 6 - Jets 3, Avs win Series 4-1

[bustamente]

Whatever happens I hope that Chevy has Lauer's pick slip and a Uber waiting for him.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Well it's not his call, it's Chevy's but this org doesn't make the hard calls when it should so watch us run it all back.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Chipper has already overruled Chevy or gone behind his back to retain Bones.

Man, I did not see that coming after game one! My thinking was: 'The Jets had their 1 crappy defensive game (and still won) -- now they're going to lock it down and Colorado's in tough.' I was wrong.

I watched only part of game two, so my question is what exactly caused the bed-shatting for Winnipeg's defense?:
-- the goalie
-- the skaters' lack of defensive commitment
-- the coaches' strategy
?

You might appreciate this Panther (nice to see you here btw).

Just rent Friday The 13th, Parts I through V.

We're up 7-4 in game 1, we cut off Pamela Voorhees head. "Phew, the worst is over..." Then Jason comes out of the water (7-6) to let us know that he's around.

And so and so forth, everyone gets slaughtered over the next 4 entries. Jason's too strong.

We didn't know it then, but Hellebuyck turned out to be Kevin Bacon getting his throat slit in the 2nd act of the first movie.

Looking at the pre-series prediction thread looks like the only one who got the 4-1 avs result right was @Bigfish , although @King Woodballs predicted Avs in 4 and might argue that that could have been the result. Surprised to see no Avs in 4 vote by @sipowicz in that poll. Maybe Uncle Sip going soft and expecting too much out of the Jets is to blame for this turn of events.

I'm feeling empty and disappointed, don't know what to say really.

It's been fun all season long with you guys.

Let's hope we will resurrect as Jason just like in part 6 and go on a rampage. Along with great metal music.

It’s not a good look to come in and extend a hand and say “Good series”? I get this or the other guy telling me to f*** off?

I mean…okay, but holy hell. I didn’t come in and spout nonsense, I came to genuinely speak nothing but respectful words.

For the record, I appreciate your post and I don't think you said anything out of line.

Not that it matters much but at least that was a better effort.
Pionk will drag this team to the bottom of the lake.
His weak effort and turning the wrong way caused one goal.
Then of course he tapped one in to slit our throats.

Sportnet spends the second intermission praising Cole Perfetti's game and then our coach essentially benches him for a huge chunk of the game. Why? I thought he was hurt maybe, but obviously he wasn't.

Regular season results (aside from qualifying for the playoffs) means next to nothing.
It's so much easier to beat teams in the regular season that it is in the playoffs.

The team needs to find a balance to integrate our new players effectively.
We have some decent looking young players but if we block their access to playing in the NHL we just increase the chances of their agents being douches and trying to force trades.

 

[Hobble]

Too late to tank?

 

[Zippity]

Season tickets stock value is bleeding red now

Whatever happens their are some young prospects that need to come into camp next year and grab some roster spots that surely will be up for grabs. Two rental spots just opened up tonight and a vet or two might get toe tagged.

You're a regular Naptain Morgan

Trouba was always the much better player. Pionk is just unfortunately who he is, a third pairing dmen that can score points but can't move the puck that Chevy decided to pay $6 million per season.

Decided to add on to your quote.

11 fwds are under contract and 2 RFAs

Do you really think they will trade out if some vets

 

[blueandgoldguy]

We got hamstrung by circumstance on the Trouba trade.

But not by deciding to pay Plinko $6 million per season.

$12 million for Plinko and Schmidt. You have to search far and wide to find 2 defensemen on the same team that are so vastly overpaid.

It's possible that they move on from one of Apples and A I maybe both

That alone should get Chevy fired

Why the f*ck is he smiling?

I agree with everything except the Maurice bit. I’m old enough to remember eventual 30g rookie Connor cut out of training camp, Buff getting permanently moved to forward - and it was only several injuries that forced him to change course on both. Matt Hendricks above Perresult in the playoffs Blake Wheeler playing out his 34 and 35 year old seasons getting 23 mins a game while the locker room burns and Laine playing the right point on PP2 and then trying to turn him into a power forward.

On balance, there is a zero percent chance Paul Maurice coaches this roster to 50 plus wins. Bones was completely outcoached and his blind spots were a huge factor in losing the series. His stubbornness on Perfetti, Pionk getting top 4 mins and sticking with 81-55-13 is all-world stupid.

Villardi was the weak link in this game. Both schief and kc I thought were respectable considering the train wreck the team was.

Maybe he thinks they won
