Yes thank you

What was the rationalization used by Bowness for not dressing CP game 1? Whatever it was, it was flawed.

Not to mention the fact you could use this title to your advantage to impress the locals when they ask you what they hell you're doing there. Cuz as soon as you say football they aren't thinking North American football but European football. Just don't let them know what MBB stands for.

All these lineup changes may be too little too late but I hold hope they will get us back into the series especially the forward line-up changes. To be hyper critical from my amateur lazy boy line of sight, Bowness seemed a bit stubborn/slow on making significant adjustments to counter what the Avs have been showing the Jets. Injuries forced his hand which may be a blessing in disguise but the Avs are playing like a Stanley Cup contender so it may be too much to overcome. What I know for sure is next year is our year. 🙂

Excerpt taken from an article from Kerry Collins Hockey Writers: Thud: Connor Hellebuyck Stinks Right Now Connor Hellebuyck may take home his second Vezina Trophy this season, but it’s a good thing votes are cast before the puck drops on the postseason. Hellebuyck has been brutal in this series, posting a dismal .870 save percentage and 5.22 goals-against average through the first four games. It finally got him benched in Game 4, as Laurent Brossoit took over in the third period of Colorado’s 5-1 victory. Not sure if that's how Bowness and crew would write that up.

The logical rational side says end this misery and let the autopsy begin. The emotional always have hope side says hey we win this one, still one back in Denver, we gotta chance.

Here's hoping Boston takes care of business tonight to set-up a helpful buffer if our Jets continue to disappoint.

I remember doing that. What a great time. Pure entertainment. Make sure you get that parent who just wants to sit and look at their phone to help. :-)

I get your sarcasm, valid points but the GM's body of work from year to year include the the teams success rate in the playoffs, no? I guess it has to do with how high should expectations be placed on Chevy when it comes to the success of the Winnipeg Jets getting closer and ultimately winning the Stanley Cup? I think your sarcasm suggests that Chevy is doing his job, i.e., top 5 in the NHL, makes the playoffs consistently but as the Jets flame out in the playoffs consistently year after year 1st or 2nd round its the players and coaches not doing enough mixed with larger market teams have tremendous advantage over small market teams? If this is expectation for Chevy (consistently making the playoffs and it stops there), it's great gig cuz he will never be expected to win a Stanley Cup here cuz it's someone else's or some thing that is at fault when it comes to how successful the Jets are in the playoffs (not the season).

I would assume CF will draw in.

I tried to find it on the world wide web but was unsuccessful. I'm wondering if anyone knows the record for most consecutive Grey Cup appearances by a CFL team cuz the Bombers will be making their fifth this coming season. 🙂

TC in parking lots. Nice. lol

Everything starts in the trenches and moves out from there.

If this does end bad, start with the GM first then have them review the coaching/scouting staff from top to bottom.. Chevy has used up all his mulligans imo.

I knew you'd swoop in with a comment like this sooner or later. lol

Oh I’m sure you and I would be schooled by the Jet professionals who would pat us both on the heads and tell us amateurs that nothing changed just bad breaks and bounces a few breakdowns blah blah blah. Just another reminder of being a loyal hardcore Jet fan is a challenging chore but we persevere.

Yup to the casual fan it literally looked like they gave up and abandoned how they were playing up to that point.

It wasn’t an ass kicking until that double minor high sticking penalty in the third when the Avs then scored just over 2 minutes into the penalty. Then the Jets brains and wills broke in two. Overall it was a pretty good road game till then. Very disappointing. Just can’t move from good to great in a progressive and consistent way.

Not for 2 and a bit periods they didn’t. Will be interesting what the Jet coaches and players say about this game.

5 goals in the third. If they roll over on Sunday and lose in 5 or 6 we remain average. I still have hope but at what point does the GM feel the heat?

Ahhh to be a Jet fan. Only down 2-1 but if they roll over on Sunday all eyes on Chevy.

Interesting that they didn’t call the high stick originally but go back to the tape and call it ignoring of course the trip while reviewing the tape. Ffs

Exactly what I was thinking. Happens in the middle of the ice in the offensive zone two refs on the ice no call.
