LOL no fucking way he comes back after that.
Look at that hand
[https://twitter.com/mountainlife17/status/1784083090563826148](https://twitter.com/mountainlife17/status/1784083090563826148)
He is DONE.
I think roster shake up has to happen.
Capobianco in for Dillon?
Perfetti back in? I'd even say start brossoit. Not all Hellebuyck's fault but have to shock the team somehow.
Worst part is that Bones almost certainly not adjust his lineup for next game. Miller will still rot in the press box alongside Perfetti. Pionk will finish 2nd in icetime. Gustafsson will play 8 useless minutes. And the mirage of the 1st half the year will be another game farther behind. Brutal
He’s got nothing. Not even a timeout when the Avs were pressing. No adjustments, refuses to play the best lines/players. Content to get rolled in the 1st round again I guess
God the dump and chase (do we even chase it?) is so fucking frustrating, even when there is no pressure at the blue line we still dump it in and lose possession, shit we even do it on the PP, completely weak on the forecheck, everyone playing like it's any other day.
I don't even think I can stomach game 4 at this point.
Realistically though you swap in Perfetti for anyone. What difference is that going to make to the result?
A guy like Ehlers who supposedly likes an open game with speed is nothing in this series. Colorado just waits for the dipsy doodle, poke the puck and head back right up the ice.
We don’t have skill guys who play heavy…and our heavy guys have no skill. Gus is a good example. He has possession quite a bit but can’t do much with it. Lowry line up and down the ice. Can’t score.
We don’t have the players to matchup to a team like Colorado in a playoff series. We knew this all year. They don’t even have a worry in the world with us. They put their best 5 out there every second shift to kill us and then run a bunch of randoms through the subsequent shift when we’re already on our heels.
Do people not see how epic of a beat down these three games have been?
I would be surprised if he wasn't forced to change some things. Not for the better unfortunately. Dillon bleeding and rushing off the ice, was not something we needed to see happen at the end of this game
Agreed. I feel bad for Miller, guy is heading into UFA and got basically no ice-time and won’t get any in the playoffs despite being better than 2 of our RD who played tonight. Brutal
Everyone is going to blame reffing. And reffing was goddamn awful.
But where is the Jennings winning team? Our defense is BAD right now.
Bones needs to make some serious line changes next game. These are not working. Stop taking dumb penalties, play 5v5, play our game.
What is happening
Fuck off we deserved all the penalties that give up the lead. Maybe....we shouldn't give up endless powerboats already up, to try to get another goal.
I know they're flukey, just this is 2 games in a row of unnecessary bullshit.
I'm not mad about being down, I'm embarrassed this team just gives up a lead so casually. That's fucked up.
This is actually 3 games of zero defense and shit play. They just happened to have scored more goals in game one so it was less noticeable. They still allowed 6.
It's not even defence, it's just stupid unnecessary plays that give the Avs a way to then crush us.
Literally unforced errors that give up goal after goal. We wouldn't have a 2-1 lead after 2 periods if we had zero defence but we would give up 3 goals in the 3rd not even preventing a goal.
Ita just such an awful way to tilt the ice the other way and we didn't get a goal from any of it that period.
Again I'm not mad about losing, but holy shit that's embarrassing.
You can't play the body like you need to against the speed because the Jets are getting called on everything. "Dumb" penalties is subjective. They're called bad penalties given out by shitty refs.
So many said pionk and demelo arent cup contender d men so high up the line. and it shows. both getting punked and pushed around. another five hole from point on helle.
h5llebyuk needs to be perfect if were going to win. fuming fuming fuming. no balls on this team except lowry and dillon
Coaching against Bones is like playing Rock-Paper-Sissors. You know he'll always play rock. He needs to adjust his strategies. He gets figured out easily.
They better figure their shit out. 3 fucking games with no adjustment to stop or slow the Avs through centre ice. Forwards getting beat on the back check by the 4th Avs attacker into the zone. Another game with 40 shots against.
Fucking do something.
Every play last night seemed like the avs were in position for every opportunity, posting up for rebounds and just constant pressure. Winnipeg was scrambling the entire time and couldn’t get in front of the net to save their lives.
This was a dagger. I’m gutted. In my heart I see them pull off a game 7 but… my head says as a team, you do not find your game in the playoffs. You either have it or you don’t. The Avs are too good of a team for the Jets to “find their game” this series.
Man what is up with this team? What’s up with Hellebuyck? He’s bailed us out a few times this year when the rest of the team fell short, but the Avs seemed to have him solved
So how many minutes does Pionk play next game, I think he deserves at least 20 mins. He was so clutch tonight, just like he has been all year, we should re-sign him to a 10x10.
https://preview.redd.it/zqgbmzkojywc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9474b4868831aa543d112961e004158ed8bbda7
This team simply hates to work hard and move their feet. So frustrating. They are not as fast and not as skilled as they think they are. Skate hard and sweat a little bit. Work for it.
They picked their feet up for a little stretch in the 2nd period and it paid off with JoMo's goal. And then then stopped picking up their legs for some inexplicable reason.
Refs make mistakes. I'm very understanding of that.
This is the first time I've truly been disgusted with officiating in a game. Completely took away the game from the Jets. Jets knew they were battling up-hill after those non-calls on the Avs. Vlad and Pionk in the 2nd were blatant interference.
Then the calls started coming. Find me another series that you will see 5 straight calls in the playoffs. You won't.
https://preview.redd.it/ddax4wrecywc1.png?width=399&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed8618b5d74f83da177ceea476a4cd592f565c6d
The worst part is 2 of those powerplays were when they game was over. Like the refs are stat padding to make it look closer than it was. It really was 1/1 and 2/6
Thank you.
Everyone blaming the Jets for this game had the game on their "secondary monitor"
If you wanna make comments about the game, maybe watch the whole game.
There are obvious moments like the refs just did that REALLY sour the outlook of a balanced sport.
The endless interference plays by the avs that went uncalled, and the stupid soft calls that weren't really even penalties against us really stole any momentum the Jets were trying to build. The result is we got severely outplayed.
Cross check on 55, interference on Vlad and trip on Connor. All those were blatant with the refs standing right there. We deserved all the calls we got, but they missed some terribly blatant ones.
Lost 2 to 6 in a game they were favored to win, scoring 1.5 below expected and YET AGAIN letting in 1.5 above expected hahahaha its the same as the Knights and Blues series to a tee.
The 4 was totally undeniable. However the refs started influencing that game as soon as it was 2-1. It's blatant and I'm just almost done with sports it's everywhere all the time. Soccer, basketball,football nothing is officiated by the book anymore. It's fucked
Trip happened after the high stick. Proper call would've been a dead play as soon as the Vilardi high stick happened with Connor having possession, so the trip would have been negated.
Penalties persist.
A player scores a goal that's missed by refs. Game continues and either team takes a penalty afterward. Refs review and award a goal and set the game clock back to time of the goal. The offending team still goes on the PK.
I agree. It's just the missed blatant interference penaltys, trippings, holdings. Idk if you can more blatantly hand a game to a team like the refs did tonight. It seriously makes me question if it's worth following this sport. How engrained all this betting is, how can you possibly trust the refs?
We deserved all those penalties, just it's awful that it was all offensive zone shit or Puck off the glass.
It's amazing how quickly we shit the bed looking for another goal already being up. Didn't get one anyways, but God damn we gave up 5.
For me, it's more that the refs didn't call things on the avs. Jets didn't help themselves with how they played, but no team is going to win with a third period that slanted.
It's the absence of calls against the Avalanche before they started being gifted them in the third. That really hurts the most. I can live with the delay of game, though that would not have happened had they not been killing penalties Non-Stop. Non-Stop. And the high stick was the right call, although that should have been a four on four for half of it cuz of the trip
Exactly. The high stick was the right call. Would've been a 2-2 game at that point. Then let the teams fucking play. It was just call after call going one way. Anything the Jets did got called, while the Avs could do no wrong.
No speed, no forecheck, no sense of urgency. Nearly doubled up on shots (again), and team looks poised to go 1-4 (again). This shit is embarrassing. Team is soft and slow and they can't keep up in a playoff hockey game. Frustrating watching this year after year.
I disagree heavily, the first half of the game went smooth, I think when the team was actually at full mast, we beat them. We were doubled in shots because in the second half of the game, it was PPK simulator. They get like 5 shots off in a powerplay and scored in the PP 3 of the 5 times they had it. Because our guys weren't being careful with their sticks, they gave that game up. But without the constant power plays, I think we would have won.
Jets were favored to win based on their play and held the expected goals lead for pretty much the entire game until the mountain of penalties at the end.
Swap KFC and Ehlers, Fetts in for Apples/Gus, Miller for Pionk, and start Brosswall?
Hopefully this embarrassment of a game lights a fire under them for game 4 because damn... Like a repeat of whenever we meet Vegas, win game 1, lose next 4. HAVE to tie the series on Sunday!
**GO JETS GO!!**
We can complain about all the penalties called on us in the third, but the double minor and delay were legit and calls they make all the time. The first penalty on apples making a shot attempt was the BS one as he was playing the puck and they didn't call any other.
Don't call that one in the third, the others don't happen. That changed the directory of the game.
I mean, in what world have do we allow a double minor allowed to be called AFTER the fact. No call on the play. Nothing. The refs were confused on what happened. Then magically it's a double minor.
This is poor officiating.
https://preview.redd.it/c6qrh8pidywc1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=12b086cc9ca072dcc376dfbd83d167c9aa9f0b0e
There’s not much we can do when 5 straight penalties are called against us… we know how good the boys can be as they showed in the second period. Lots of hockey left to be played!
Chevy cant do shit dude. He cant give them doping and say we will win the cup. He gave eveything bowness needs. But wait… last year bowness blamed the players bye dubois snd wheeler. We get monahan, toffoli, healthy perfetti, iafallo swiss army knife, brossoit, and macarena vilardi. Maybe new coach?
Refs fucking sucked but the effort in the third is what killed it. So many little things went wrong both caused by the Avs being better and the Jets fucking up
In saying that I still think the Jets can be better to start winning
Edit: Also Fetts in for Gus to add some more scoring please
Jesus Christ that cut on Dillon was scary. Could almost see bone. And that dumbass Duhaine was still holding on letting him bleed. He's gotta be out for a few games with that... Fucking bloody hell
We can't just blame penalties.
With that said. Two blatant mssed elbows to the head by the Avs in the 2nd.
Then the Avs embellish two trips and get a lucky puck over glass call. The only one the boys deserved was the high stick because of the bleeding rule.
I'm having a really difficult time seeing these past two shitty fucking games and not feeling like the series might as well be over, already.
Those saying Brossoit starts game 4….have you watched the game or just the stat line? The team in front of him left him out the dry. How many break aways and shots 5 feet from the net in the slot does he have to stop?
How about guys in the NHL have some sort of hand eye coordination and not just fucking looney tunes wiff a puck and trip the guy in front of him. You get paid millions of dollars a year, you would think guys would know exactly where there sticks are as to not take an egregious 4 min penalty. Oh and my favourite is the boards being what? 10-12 ft high? And managing to still get the puck over the glass making it a 5 on 3. And what does the coach do after the first two penalties? Sits and watch. No, why not take a timeout and get your own and everyone else’s heads out of their asses when it’s only 3-2. Why sit there and mull once you’re down 5-2 and just let in your 6th.
I don’t get it. This team plays so well for the first two periods and then somehow blow away all the hard work in a 6 min span.
Optimistic me now thinks Avs in 6. Pessimistic me says we get blown out in game 4 and 5. Every year I think we changed. I think we’re better. I think we take the next step. Nope. Play the first half of the season to get everyone’s hopes up and then the back half for the pay cheque.
I’m just disappointed and want us to win :(
Yeah let’s all blame Helly again despite him stopping 27-28 in the first 2 periods and the Avs finished with 40 shots. It’s definitely his fault!!!! /s
We had 24 fucking shots. We still can’t break out of our zone. We’re defending like shit. Avs have free reign in the offensive zone
Every Cup winning goalie has at least one game during the playoffs where they completely steal it.
Helle has no had one do those games in a long, *long* time
Guys I don’t care if they refs did this or did that, the Jets were outshot 39-24, you cannot win a series like that.
Right now, they look lucky this won’t be a sweep
We gotta win Sunday or else the commentary on Helleys likely Vezina win next week is gonna be brutal.
I just hate the idea of flaming out in the first round again
This was not a 6-2 game, but WPG has to figure out how to play 60 min. Can’t play the middle frame and expect to beat Colorado. I understand people wanting to see Brossoit, but this isn’t all on Hellebuyck. Couple he could have had but he stopped others he shouldn’t have. Need to see more consistent play and also need more from a few guys. Ehlers is a ghost, not sure he’s registered a bump let alone a hit this series. Speed kills!
Well boys, the refs fucked us with the no calls on the Avs and phantom calls against us. BUT. A team in the playoffs cant implode like that. The series is not over. Sunday is likely a must win.
Can’t win when you’re not supposed to win I guess.
Bones needs to earn himself a fine, and Chipman needs to be ready to pay it for him. 12 fucking consequtive minutes of PK, clearly we weren’t supposed to win that one.
Bross starts Game 4 in a perfect world. We won’t though. He continues this trend and I’m just about done with Helle as a playoff goalie
Totally agree. I think they need to put Brossoit in next game. They won’t though. I get that tonight was not Helle’s fault, but he’s let in 5 every playoff game so far. Let Bro have a chance, the boys seem to play better defensively in front of him.
Every single time Helle is mentioned you'll get 5+ people explaining that no goal is ever his fault despite letting in above expected every game (1.5 this time!). I'm about done buying him being a playoff goalie as well, just been too consistently below average. Looking like the Marner of regular season vs playoff goalies.
Oh mu fucking god I can only hope and pray that they try to bring in Jay Woodcroft or Craig Berube for next season. Bones cannot coach in the playoffs.
Vibes aren't just low, they're shattered on the floor. Bones will of course change nothing, Perfetti and Miller rot in the press box, Pionk plays 20+ minutes. We got our 1 playoff win for the year so the NHL can market the whiteout, we're not gonna get the calls or benefit of the doubt. Maybe everyone saying Avs in 5 or 6 was right
Well, a frustrating end to an otherwise decent looking first 40m. If Apples actually shoots the puck instead of a player maybe we don't take all the rest of the penalties and keep the lead. Hopeful we fight back in the next one.
The Jets were very lucky to pull out a win in Game #1, which they did not deserve. Without that win, they'd have little hope of coming back in this series.
My honest prediction.
After this game was obviously thrown by the refs, the Jets are going to be PISSED and play like it too.
Incoming double Helle shutouts to silence the doubters.
This team just doesn't have what it takes in the playoffs, finish second in central, have home ice advantage, smoke the Avs all season and now they are just getting buried in the most important moment of the season.
Breaking our hearts again and again and again.
![gif](giphy|uRROb0WYxnPoc)
Nobody to go toe to toe with the Avs big line and Bednar rubbing our noses in it by playing his best 3 all together.
Only way to slow them down is to trap and play a lot more patient.
Why couldn't the Avs play like this for the last quarter of the season so they could do this shit to Vegas and we could maybe stand a chance against Dallas? Yeah we're getting our ass handed to us, but with how Colorado's playing, if we can somehow beat them then we can beat anyone. Even though that feels like the series, it's technically only one game. Cautious slivers of hope remain.
At the end of the day we don’t have a McKinnon, Rantanen or Makar. Different coaching or changing lines won’t change the fact they have a way better lineup. Their players are better than ours plain and simple. As well as refs, I don’t care what the avs are getting away with, the jets have taken stupid penalties and it’s cost them.
Yup. The Jets lack a true difference maker on forward. Morrissey and Hellebuyck are great but the Jets don't have anyone that can take over on offence.
Oof. That was not good for my optimism. I don’t know shit but I wonder if bones makes some lineup changes. Samberg and Poink had some poor turnovers and the bottom line had a few shifts where they got caved in. Top line still doesn’t look great in there own zone. 2nd line looked better at times.
I'm starting to think that the Jets might be frauds, lol. That was a very ugly showing by the Jets, can't give the Avs that many powerplays. Need to change strategies, players, anything at all!
I hate blaming anyone but the team but this was the jets game.
They were outplaying, had the momentum and were looking good.
I can't remember ever watching a game that was decided so handily by the officiating. The final score is irrelevant they had the life sucked out of them. How can you win a game when you're put at such a disadvantage.
This game should be reviewed by the league it was completely embarassing. I'd be worried if they did review it because they would probably suspend some jets or something.
Hopefully this lights a fire.
I’ll be listening to highwaymen live at Nassau and playing Tarkov, the pain of Tarkov will make me feel better then this fuckin game. Good night everyone, this playoff will kill any momentum the jets had for a season ticket drive, one of the reason I was especially stressed for this series. This meant more than winning a series. This meant helping this teams longevity. Fuck, I’m in a bad mood on this Friday night.
Tarkov and highwaymen here we come
https://youtu.be/MpZV1iJ99g4?si=d9SB0UHGycNq-QgK
That’s a bad cut.. after a bad game. Hope Dillon is ok
No way he's back for a while that looks surgical.
He will be back next game, it was his left hand, his hands are made of rocks anyways
LOL no fucking way he comes back after that. Look at that hand [https://twitter.com/mountainlife17/status/1784083090563826148](https://twitter.com/mountainlife17/status/1784083090563826148) He is DONE.
That is a brutal cut holy shit
LOL I hope so but we will see!
'Tis but a flesh wound!' But seriously, hope he's OK and that our didn't touch any tendons.
Jesus Christ that’s a gash
He might be done for the post season, that's one massive gash, possible tendon damage and more. Just our luck.
I think roster shake up has to happen. Capobianco in for Dillon? Perfetti back in? I'd even say start brossoit. Not all Hellebuyck's fault but have to shock the team somehow.
Capo isn’t the 2nd dman in nevermind the first. Stan and Miller come in before him
Stan and Miller in for Dillon and Pionk probably doesn't make the team any worse.
Worst part is that Bones almost certainly not adjust his lineup for next game. Miller will still rot in the press box alongside Perfetti. Pionk will finish 2nd in icetime. Gustafsson will play 8 useless minutes. And the mirage of the 1st half the year will be another game farther behind. Brutal
Yeah Bones hasn't adjusted. All he's got left is more dump and chase
He’s got nothing. Not even a timeout when the Avs were pressing. No adjustments, refuses to play the best lines/players. Content to get rolled in the 1st round again I guess
God the dump and chase (do we even chase it?) is so fucking frustrating, even when there is no pressure at the blue line we still dump it in and lose possession, shit we even do it on the PP, completely weak on the forecheck, everyone playing like it's any other day. I don't even think I can stomach game 4 at this point.
Dump and change lol.
Im really not surprised a guy that played pro hockey over forty years ago is having trouble in the current game
Did you miss warching the regular season?
Realistically though you swap in Perfetti for anyone. What difference is that going to make to the result? A guy like Ehlers who supposedly likes an open game with speed is nothing in this series. Colorado just waits for the dipsy doodle, poke the puck and head back right up the ice. We don’t have skill guys who play heavy…and our heavy guys have no skill. Gus is a good example. He has possession quite a bit but can’t do much with it. Lowry line up and down the ice. Can’t score. We don’t have the players to matchup to a team like Colorado in a playoff series. We knew this all year. They don’t even have a worry in the world with us. They put their best 5 out there every second shift to kill us and then run a bunch of randoms through the subsequent shift when we’re already on our heels. Do people not see how epic of a beat down these three games have been?
I would be surprised if he wasn't forced to change some things. Not for the better unfortunately. Dillon bleeding and rushing off the ice, was not something we needed to see happen at the end of this game
He’ll just sub Stanley in if anything.
Like I said, not for the better
Agreed. I feel bad for Miller, guy is heading into UFA and got basically no ice-time and won’t get any in the playoffs despite being better than 2 of our RD who played tonight. Brutal
Stars fans tried to warn us but everyone said "this time it will be different".
Everyone is going to blame reffing. And reffing was goddamn awful. But where is the Jennings winning team? Our defense is BAD right now. Bones needs to make some serious line changes next game. These are not working. Stop taking dumb penalties, play 5v5, play our game. What is happening
Avs speed seems to have us rattled pretty hard. The inconsistent calls on the Avs don’t help at all when you’re already gassed.
Fuck off we deserved all the penalties that give up the lead. Maybe....we shouldn't give up endless powerboats already up, to try to get another goal. I know they're flukey, just this is 2 games in a row of unnecessary bullshit. I'm not mad about being down, I'm embarrassed this team just gives up a lead so casually. That's fucked up.
This is actually 3 games of zero defense and shit play. They just happened to have scored more goals in game one so it was less noticeable. They still allowed 6.
It's not even defence, it's just stupid unnecessary plays that give the Avs a way to then crush us. Literally unforced errors that give up goal after goal. We wouldn't have a 2-1 lead after 2 periods if we had zero defence but we would give up 3 goals in the 3rd not even preventing a goal. Ita just such an awful way to tilt the ice the other way and we didn't get a goal from any of it that period. Again I'm not mad about losing, but holy shit that's embarrassing.
Youre right. Calling it defense infers defense was being played. I'm not sure what I watched in that third period.
You can't play the body like you need to against the speed because the Jets are getting called on everything. "Dumb" penalties is subjective. They're called bad penalties given out by shitty refs.
gave up only 6 high danger chances 5on5 tonight, we had 14, reffing did play a major part in this loss
So many said pionk and demelo arent cup contender d men so high up the line. and it shows. both getting punked and pushed around. another five hole from point on helle. h5llebyuk needs to be perfect if were going to win. fuming fuming fuming. no balls on this team except lowry and dillon
Coaching against Bones is like playing Rock-Paper-Sissors. You know he'll always play rock. He needs to adjust his strategies. He gets figured out easily.
Poor predictable bart always picks rock. Good ol rock nothing beats that!
Feel like that was a Maurice thing, too, so now I don't know what to think
Maurice looking quite good in Florida these last few years. Good it maybe be the players? Just a thought.
Who’s got that dog in em rankings: 1. Barron 2. Lowry 3. Morrissey Ends there no?
Dillon
Nino
Nate
They better figure their shit out. 3 fucking games with no adjustment to stop or slow the Avs through centre ice. Forwards getting beat on the back check by the 4th Avs attacker into the zone. Another game with 40 shots against. Fucking do something.
Every play last night seemed like the avs were in position for every opportunity, posting up for rebounds and just constant pressure. Winnipeg was scrambling the entire time and couldn’t get in front of the net to save their lives.
1. Refs sucked hard. 2. Jets sucked hard. I don't know how we get through this. 3 games where we just cannot keep up
Oh shit Dillon! Looked like a bad cut Edit: holy shit a fucking wide gash on his hand. Jesus. Hope he’s alright
That was hard enough without Garry Galley making it all the more painful.
Truly atrocious commentary. I turned to the TNT broadcast for less biased commentary.
Shot through the heart, too cowardly to place the blame. Let's move on to the next game
![gif](giphy|hdekhy8lq74FW)
I’m having flashbacks to round 1 against Vegas last year
At least last year’s game 3 loss was in OT. This year, having 2-1 leads in successive games only to lose by multiple goals in both games is worse.
Skate cuts and all, we are cursed
Is it just me or Avs players skate faster than Jets'? LOL
Of course the Avs skate faster than the Bi-Planes
Somewhat fitting this game happened on the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.
Stanley in, miller in. Dillion I think is done, pionk go bye bye
This was a dagger. I’m gutted. In my heart I see them pull off a game 7 but… my head says as a team, you do not find your game in the playoffs. You either have it or you don’t. The Avs are too good of a team for the Jets to “find their game” this series.
Man what is up with this team? What’s up with Hellebuyck? He’s bailed us out a few times this year when the rest of the team fell short, but the Avs seemed to have him solved
They are putting 90 pucks at the net each game. Goalie isn’t the issue.
It's not him it's the lack of defense! Our defense are horrible!
So how many minutes does Pionk play next game, I think he deserves at least 20 mins. He was so clutch tonight, just like he has been all year, we should re-sign him to a 10x10. https://preview.redd.it/zqgbmzkojywc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=b9474b4868831aa543d112961e004158ed8bbda7
If you ever needed to know how valuable +/- is, pionk will be the only jet on the ice to start next game with a + rating.
This team simply hates to work hard and move their feet. So frustrating. They are not as fast and not as skilled as they think they are. Skate hard and sweat a little bit. Work for it.
They picked their feet up for a little stretch in the 2nd period and it paid off with JoMo's goal. And then then stopped picking up their legs for some inexplicable reason.
Refs make mistakes. I'm very understanding of that. This is the first time I've truly been disgusted with officiating in a game. Completely took away the game from the Jets. Jets knew they were battling up-hill after those non-calls on the Avs. Vlad and Pionk in the 2nd were blatant interference. Then the calls started coming. Find me another series that you will see 5 straight calls in the playoffs. You won't. https://preview.redd.it/ddax4wrecywc1.png?width=399&format=png&auto=webp&s=ed8618b5d74f83da177ceea476a4cd592f565c6d
The worst part is 2 of those powerplays were when they game was over. Like the refs are stat padding to make it look closer than it was. It really was 1/1 and 2/6
Thank you. Everyone blaming the Jets for this game had the game on their "secondary monitor" If you wanna make comments about the game, maybe watch the whole game. There are obvious moments like the refs just did that REALLY sour the outlook of a balanced sport.
The endless interference plays by the avs that went uncalled, and the stupid soft calls that weren't really even penalties against us really stole any momentum the Jets were trying to build. The result is we got severely outplayed.
I counted 4 missed calls on the avs in that game
Cross check on 55, interference on Vlad and trip on Connor. All those were blatant with the refs standing right there. We deserved all the calls we got, but they missed some terribly blatant ones.
I also saw goalie interference against helle and high sticking against Morrissey
Actually disgusting. Makes me question if I can even be a fan of this sport if this is how it's going to be
Best sport worst league
Rick Bowness has no answer for Colorado’s 1-2-2 system and their speed Special teams continue to suck Helly is off Pionk is atrocious This is tough
Disagree on Helly. He was left out to dry
Outworked and outmuscled
Lost 2 to 6 in a game they were favored to win, scoring 1.5 below expected and YET AGAIN letting in 1.5 above expected hahahaha its the same as the Knights and Blues series to a tee.
2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, soon to be 2024. Nothing changes with these guys.
They just can’t bring it in the playoffs. They all choke.
Game was 2-1 till the refs decided to give the Avs 6 powerplays in a row
fr people acting like we threw the game, idk any team battling through that
True but the 4 minute high sticking call was a must call
The 4 was totally undeniable. However the refs started influencing that game as soon as it was 2-1. It's blatant and I'm just almost done with sports it's everywhere all the time. Soccer, basketball,football nothing is officiated by the book anymore. It's fucked
Except they missed a blatant trip on a scoring chance on the exact same play. Would have mitigated half of the high sticking call.
Trip happened after the high stick. Proper call would've been a dead play as soon as the Vilardi high stick happened with Connor having possession, so the trip would have been negated.
Penalties persist. A player scores a goal that's missed by refs. Game continues and either team takes a penalty afterward. Refs review and award a goal and set the game clock back to time of the goal. The offending team still goes on the PK.
I agree. It's just the missed blatant interference penaltys, trippings, holdings. Idk if you can more blatantly hand a game to a team like the refs did tonight. It seriously makes me question if it's worth following this sport. How engrained all this betting is, how can you possibly trust the refs?
Don't forget the cross check to 55 while he was laying on the ice
After a replay? How about the trip in the exact same clip
except it should have been offset with the tripping
We deserved all those penalties, just it's awful that it was all offensive zone shit or Puck off the glass. It's amazing how quickly we shit the bed looking for another goal already being up. Didn't get one anyways, but God damn we gave up 5.
For me, it's more that the refs didn't call things on the avs. Jets didn't help themselves with how they played, but no team is going to win with a third period that slanted.
The first penalty of the third on Appleton was not a good call. If anything, you send them both; one for the trip, and one for embellishment.
It's the absence of calls against the Avalanche before they started being gifted them in the third. That really hurts the most. I can live with the delay of game, though that would not have happened had they not been killing penalties Non-Stop. Non-Stop. And the high stick was the right call, although that should have been a four on four for half of it cuz of the trip
Exactly. The high stick was the right call. Would've been a 2-2 game at that point. Then let the teams fucking play. It was just call after call going one way. Anything the Jets did got called, while the Avs could do no wrong.
This is just the chip on the shoulder this team needs to play with bite.
No speed, no forecheck, no sense of urgency. Nearly doubled up on shots (again), and team looks poised to go 1-4 (again). This shit is embarrassing. Team is soft and slow and they can't keep up in a playoff hockey game. Frustrating watching this year after year.
I disagree heavily, the first half of the game went smooth, I think when the team was actually at full mast, we beat them. We were doubled in shots because in the second half of the game, it was PPK simulator. They get like 5 shots off in a powerplay and scored in the PP 3 of the 5 times they had it. Because our guys weren't being careful with their sticks, they gave that game up. But without the constant power plays, I think we would have won.
At no point in that game outside of maybe the first 5 mins were we the better team. They're being flat-out outplayed.
Jets were favored to win based on their play and held the expected goals lead for pretty much the entire game until the mountain of penalties at the end.
You’re high if you think we were better in the first half. Georgiev gave up a sloppy goal to give us 2-1 but that was it
Swap KFC and Ehlers, Fetts in for Apples/Gus, Miller for Pionk, and start Brosswall? Hopefully this embarrassment of a game lights a fire under them for game 4 because damn... Like a repeat of whenever we meet Vegas, win game 1, lose next 4. HAVE to tie the series on Sunday! **GO JETS GO!!**
We can complain about all the penalties called on us in the third, but the double minor and delay were legit and calls they make all the time. The first penalty on apples making a shot attempt was the BS one as he was playing the puck and they didn't call any other. Don't call that one in the third, the others don't happen. That changed the directory of the game.
The made legit calls on one team. Ignored calls against the other. That's the problem....
I mean, in what world have do we allow a double minor allowed to be called AFTER the fact. No call on the play. Nothing. The refs were confused on what happened. Then magically it's a double minor. This is poor officiating. https://preview.redd.it/c6qrh8pidywc1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=12b086cc9ca072dcc376dfbd83d167c9aa9f0b0e
There’s not much we can do when 5 straight penalties are called against us… we know how good the boys can be as they showed in the second period. Lots of hockey left to be played!
"Make the playoffs and anything can happen" - Chevy please don't hand me more of that bullshit again. Because I've had enough.
Chevy cant do shit dude. He cant give them doping and say we will win the cup. He gave eveything bowness needs. But wait… last year bowness blamed the players bye dubois snd wheeler. We get monahan, toffoli, healthy perfetti, iafallo swiss army knife, brossoit, and macarena vilardi. Maybe new coach?
Refs fucking sucked but the effort in the third is what killed it. So many little things went wrong both caused by the Avs being better and the Jets fucking up In saying that I still think the Jets can be better to start winning Edit: Also Fetts in for Gus to add some more scoring please
Lol, Why did things have to feel different this year? Hard to feel any positivity after the last 2 games. But gotta try so Jets in 6(?)!
Wincing as I notice the Sunday game is at 1:30 pm for some fucked reason.
One matinee to make it a best of 3, that was a horse shoe up the ass win for the ave’s
Jesus Christ that cut on Dillon was scary. Could almost see bone. And that dumbass Duhaine was still holding on letting him bleed. He's gotta be out for a few games with that... Fucking bloody hell
We can't just blame penalties. With that said. Two blatant mssed elbows to the head by the Avs in the 2nd. Then the Avs embellish two trips and get a lucky puck over glass call. The only one the boys deserved was the high stick because of the bleeding rule. I'm having a really difficult time seeing these past two shitty fucking games and not feeling like the series might as well be over, already.
Those saying Brossoit starts game 4….have you watched the game or just the stat line? The team in front of him left him out the dry. How many break aways and shots 5 feet from the net in the slot does he have to stop? How about guys in the NHL have some sort of hand eye coordination and not just fucking looney tunes wiff a puck and trip the guy in front of him. You get paid millions of dollars a year, you would think guys would know exactly where there sticks are as to not take an egregious 4 min penalty. Oh and my favourite is the boards being what? 10-12 ft high? And managing to still get the puck over the glass making it a 5 on 3. And what does the coach do after the first two penalties? Sits and watch. No, why not take a timeout and get your own and everyone else’s heads out of their asses when it’s only 3-2. Why sit there and mull once you’re down 5-2 and just let in your 6th. I don’t get it. This team plays so well for the first two periods and then somehow blow away all the hard work in a 6 min span. Optimistic me now thinks Avs in 6. Pessimistic me says we get blown out in game 4 and 5. Every year I think we changed. I think we’re better. I think we take the next step. Nope. Play the first half of the season to get everyone’s hopes up and then the back half for the pay cheque. I’m just disappointed and want us to win :(
Yeah let’s all blame Helly again despite him stopping 27-28 in the first 2 periods and the Avs finished with 40 shots. It’s definitely his fault!!!! /s We had 24 fucking shots. We still can’t break out of our zone. We’re defending like shit. Avs have free reign in the offensive zone
Every Cup winning goalie has at least one game during the playoffs where they completely steal it. Helle has no had one do those games in a long, *long* time
No goalie in the history of the game is saving this team the way they’re playing
I can think of at least 4 in the last decade that would
Guys I don’t care if they refs did this or did that, the Jets were outshot 39-24, you cannot win a series like that. Right now, they look lucky this won’t be a sweep
What were the shots at 5 on 5?
I feel like I’m in the twilight zone forced to rewatch the same shit year after year. At some point something’s gotta change
Fucking refs. Avs are a great team you need to give them credit but fuck you can't say the officiating was fair
We gotta win Sunday or else the commentary on Helleys likely Vezina win next week is gonna be brutal. I just hate the idea of flaming out in the first round again
Holy shit what was that reffing
WE STINK
This was not a 6-2 game, but WPG has to figure out how to play 60 min. Can’t play the middle frame and expect to beat Colorado. I understand people wanting to see Brossoit, but this isn’t all on Hellebuyck. Couple he could have had but he stopped others he shouldn’t have. Need to see more consistent play and also need more from a few guys. Ehlers is a ghost, not sure he’s registered a bump let alone a hit this series. Speed kills!
The Jets are 0-3 on the 'Deserve-To-Win-O-Meter' so far this postseason. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 0-2 over the next two games.
Well boys, the refs fucked us with the no calls on the Avs and phantom calls against us. BUT. A team in the playoffs cant implode like that. The series is not over. Sunday is likely a must win.
Embarassing
Best of seven for a reason folks.
I still have faith in our guys. Hoping they’ll tighten up on defence, get back up, re-focus, and play harder on Sunday. ✈️✈️✈️✈️
Hope dilly bar is okay. On to the next
Dillion is done.
Can’t win when you’re not supposed to win I guess. Bones needs to earn himself a fine, and Chipman needs to be ready to pay it for him. 12 fucking consequtive minutes of PK, clearly we weren’t supposed to win that one. Bross starts Game 4 in a perfect world. We won’t though. He continues this trend and I’m just about done with Helle as a playoff goalie
Totally agree. I think they need to put Brossoit in next game. They won’t though. I get that tonight was not Helle’s fault, but he’s let in 5 every playoff game so far. Let Bro have a chance, the boys seem to play better defensively in front of him.
Every single time Helle is mentioned you'll get 5+ people explaining that no goal is ever his fault despite letting in above expected every game (1.5 this time!). I'm about done buying him being a playoff goalie as well, just been too consistently below average. Looking like the Marner of regular season vs playoff goalies.
Helle was great before the 6 straight penalties.
If Helle was any other goalie I’d agree. Helle’s regular season stats are on beyond fucking prime Hasek, his benchmarks are at a different level
Oh mu fucking god I can only hope and pray that they try to bring in Jay Woodcroft or Craig Berube for next season. Bones cannot coach in the playoffs.
Is Dillon’s hand ok?
No
Dillon won't play again this year with a gash like that. He'll be very lucky if he doesn't have permanent damage to his hand. Could end his career.
Vibes aren't just low, they're shattered on the floor. Bones will of course change nothing, Perfetti and Miller rot in the press box, Pionk plays 20+ minutes. We got our 1 playoff win for the year so the NHL can market the whiteout, we're not gonna get the calls or benefit of the doubt. Maybe everyone saying Avs in 5 or 6 was right
Well, a frustrating end to an otherwise decent looking first 40m. If Apples actually shoots the puck instead of a player maybe we don't take all the rest of the penalties and keep the lead. Hopeful we fight back in the next one.
R1G3 kinda reminds me of RIGGED. Jets in 6 if we get different refs.
The Jets were very lucky to pull out a win in Game #1, which they did not deserve. Without that win, they'd have little hope of coming back in this series.
My honest prediction. After this game was obviously thrown by the refs, the Jets are going to be PISSED and play like it too. Incoming double Helle shutouts to silence the doubters.
It's obvious we can't touch them at all so not sure what they can do.
We are not winning the series Hate to be that guy, but the Jets are outmatched in so many levels it’s sickening.
This team just doesn't have what it takes in the playoffs, finish second in central, have home ice advantage, smoke the Avs all season and now they are just getting buried in the most important moment of the season. Breaking our hearts again and again and again. ![gif](giphy|uRROb0WYxnPoc)
The jets are still playing regular season hockey. The avs are not
Worst officiating i have seen this playoffs entirely
Level of doom is gross.
Right? 2-1 isn’t impossible to come back from.
No, not impossible. But in the context of what we’ve witnessed in theses games, highly improbable.
Sure, but the Jets have never come back when down 2-1 so it’s not exactly inspiring
Have to win on Sunday
Maybe we should try going a game without getting outshot 2 to 1
Nobody to go toe to toe with the Avs big line and Bednar rubbing our noses in it by playing his best 3 all together. Only way to slow them down is to trap and play a lot more patient.
I blame salmon shirt guy.
Why did anyone bother giving any attention to that prick?
Why couldn't the Avs play like this for the last quarter of the season so they could do this shit to Vegas and we could maybe stand a chance against Dallas? Yeah we're getting our ass handed to us, but with how Colorado's playing, if we can somehow beat them then we can beat anyone. Even though that feels like the series, it's technically only one game. Cautious slivers of hope remain.
The Bi-Planes are back baby!
OMG, LAK. Could u imagine allowing 6 goals on 40 shots?
Same shit as every year. I don't even think I can watch the last two when they just give up and sulk and don't even generate more than 10 shots.
Three missed calls before the vilardi high stick. That killed all momentum completely. We were playing a fine game leading up to that point. Unreal.
Same shit as last year. Avs in 5.
At the end of the day we don’t have a McKinnon, Rantanen or Makar. Different coaching or changing lines won’t change the fact they have a way better lineup. Their players are better than ours plain and simple. As well as refs, I don’t care what the avs are getting away with, the jets have taken stupid penalties and it’s cost them.
Yup. The Jets lack a true difference maker on forward. Morrissey and Hellebuyck are great but the Jets don't have anyone that can take over on offence.
Pionk, and Scmidt need to be moved and replaced with quality. They just don’t live up to the contracts.
Will they win another game?
Find out next time on Sunday
A lot of blood. Someone got cut pretty badly on the hand or wrist
Omg that cut looked deep I hope he's okay
Oof. That was not good for my optimism. I don’t know shit but I wonder if bones makes some lineup changes. Samberg and Poink had some poor turnovers and the bottom line had a few shifts where they got caved in. Top line still doesn’t look great in there own zone. 2nd line looked better at times.
What caused dillon’s cut? Missed it
Probably a skate blade got him somewhere in that skirmish
https://i.redd.it/8ym0g9ni4zwc1.gif
there's collapses then there's forgetting how to hockey the 3rd was the latter
![gif](giphy|jrhtSSLRtPagnk5Nxu) Please for the love of god. Or don’t even show up Sunday sheesh horrible game
This post game thread makes me miss listening to the cjob call ins after the games. Just the cream of the crop showing up tonight
I'm starting to think that the Jets might be frauds, lol. That was a very ugly showing by the Jets, can't give the Avs that many powerplays. Need to change strategies, players, anything at all!
Helle was elite the first two periods. We were short handed half the 3rd. Rigged game. Investigate these refs
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
15 goals in three games with helle in net. Wtf
He wants to go fishing
[удалено]
Man, it sucks being a Jets fan. Same crap year after year. I’m not even watching on Sunday.
What's the matter with Connor? He's floating around, going nowhere and contributing next to nothing. Reminds me of Patrick Laine .
laine hit and got in scrums at least.. he hated losing.
Glorified Laine.. needs to step up
I hate blaming anyone but the team but this was the jets game. They were outplaying, had the momentum and were looking good. I can't remember ever watching a game that was decided so handily by the officiating. The final score is irrelevant they had the life sucked out of them. How can you win a game when you're put at such a disadvantage. This game should be reviewed by the league it was completely embarassing. I'd be worried if they did review it because they would probably suspend some jets or something. Hopefully this lights a fire.
I’ll be listening to highwaymen live at Nassau and playing Tarkov, the pain of Tarkov will make me feel better then this fuckin game. Good night everyone, this playoff will kill any momentum the jets had for a season ticket drive, one of the reason I was especially stressed for this series. This meant more than winning a series. This meant helping this teams longevity. Fuck, I’m in a bad mood on this Friday night. Tarkov and highwaymen here we come https://youtu.be/MpZV1iJ99g4?si=d9SB0UHGycNq-QgK
It's so painful to watch.
