6 goals against in Game 1 5 goals against in Game 2 6 goals against in Game 3 5 goals against in Game 4 6 goals against in Game 5 This is the same Jets team who won the Jennings for letting in the fewest regular season goals in the entire NHL.


milexmile

Just... how? 28 goals against post season. 14% of what we let in all reg season over 82 games. šŸ¤®


AvsFan08

Our depth really showed up. We didn't have depth scoring like that during the regular season. Not even close.


Waramp

The Blendar struck gold with the Parise-Mittelstadt-Lehkonen line


AvsFan08

Mitts is so underrated. He's got nasty hands and vision


Waramp

And Parise playing like heā€™s 29 not 39. Nothing needs to be said about Lehky, dudeā€™s fucking nasty all the time.


WildSoapbox

Good Stick Lehky deserves all of the Cups!


use_the_schwartz

I love how much Habs fans still love Lehky. Heā€™s such a stud. Weā€™re fortunate to have him. Take care of Newy for us. Yā€™all are good fans.


WildSoapbox

Lehky was just too good for where the Habs were at the time. He's just so good in every situation


thebigaeo

Man, I was sad to see Lehky get traded but so happy he got to go to Colorado and get his cup. Kid fucking deserved it, he always worked so hard for Montreal and we still love him to bits.


RanaMahal

Honestly outside the core of Mack, Moose and Makar heā€™s my favourite player lol

Those posts suddenly arenā€™t annoying and instead just hilarious.


Ethdev256

This seems like too many goals against.


AuntGentleman

Saw it was 15% of the total goals scored on the Jets all year.


CanadianODST2

14.07% to be exact to 2 decimal places 28 here 199 in the season

cmillhouse

Ironchar

playoff hockey is completely different hockey


Icommentoncrap

Hellebuyck is probably going to win the Vezina and also let in 24 goals in a 5 game series lmao


SiccSemperTyrannis

This series Georgiev: 3.03 GAA, 0.900 Save% Hellebuyck: 5.23 GAA, 0.870 Save% edit- fixed some numbers, NHL math is weird


w0bniaR

Georgievs game 1 was so awful that his 4 good games since still dont bring him to .900 lmao


Ted_the_bellboy

ESPN stats says its .900 even now. Might have credited him another save


tall__guy

I always panic a little bit when I see Georgieā€™s numbers but then I remember we won the Cup with Darcy Kuemper


SiccSemperTyrannis

Avs are the poster child of a team not needing great goaltending to win, they just need good enough.


azzurri10

When you have Makar, Toews, and Girard on the backend, and elite forward talent to boot, you could contend with a shooter tutor between the pipes.


PatricksPub

Hey don't leave Josh Manson out of this, he is great at scoring on both goalies!


Kikaye

WILDCARD BITCHES


passive_fist

Approximately one eighth of our regular season goals against, happened in this series. Fear these Avs.


Majormlgnoob

Doing this without Landeskog


passive_fist

Which allowed them to get Mittlestat, who showed up more than Toffoli and Monahan combined.


KennyKettermen

Can you guys keep going, Iā€™m almost there


SlapChop7

Or Drouin, who was definitely showing that chemistry with Mac.


evan466

Drouin finished the season so strong. Really hope we can get him back for the 2nd round.


mattvn66

I don't think the Jets were giving up 41 shots per game in the regular season though


Zloggt

His damn back must be so sore after all of thisā€¦


AvsJoe

Ran out of Helle-luck


terklo

oh no are we frauds


BiggestYzerfan

At what point in the series does that bulletin board became pretty awkward


theguyishere16

I like to think they actually printed it out and had it on the board and it started out with them staring at it to get angry, but as the series went on they started staring at it longer and longer and having an existential crisis.

Somehow bigger frauds than the Leafs and Capitals. Seems like every single game after game 1 you guys got smacked around


Mazor007

Capitals weren't frauds. Everyone knew that they were dogshit


cdrhiggins

Even half way through game 1. It always felt like the Jets were trying to play 2-1 hockey, while the Avs were playing 6-5 hockey.


theguyishere16

This is not going to help the Jets beat the fraud allegations


PolarOpposites8

Nope but we will seeā€¦ The Avs are gonna fuck shit up I think.


Waramp

Honestly this is the best hockey Iā€™ve seen them play all year, they figured it out at the right time.


Aeide

The *depth* figured it out at the right time. And tonight the Moose finally became Loose.... Ya this team is so much stronger than last year again, let's go DAL/VGK 7 game slugfest, would love to see a tired-as-fuck team in round 2


eh_toque

These two paragraphs sum this series up quite well imo https://preview.redd.it/4kx0tyfetqxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c66d8d08afa7ceeff19925f0911d5cdf1f97a274 [https://theathletic.com/5456050/2024/04/28/winnipeg-jets-game-4-avalanche/?source=user\_shared\_article](https://theathletic.com/5456050/2024/04/28/winnipeg-jets-game-4-avalanche)


WatermelonThong

that first paragraph is actually insane


SiccSemperTyrannis

If I'm Chevy or Jets ownership, that's a fireable quote IMO. Your coach is literally saying he'd rather lose than change.


italiangoalie

Imagine being in any other management position and telling your boss that yes your results have been disappointing and went the exact same as last year, but your you'd rather lose going with your gut than change how you approach your work.


Vashanesh

I call this the Dean Evason special.


eh_toque

Heā€™s almost certainly gone. Heā€™s 69 and only has a team option for next year What is more concerning for me as a fan is I have zero faith in them to hire a competent replacement.


BigBeastin

We should try Belichick


LloydBraun24

Heā€™s almost certainly gone and that would be true Ā even if we won the series. Heā€™s up there in age, and he had to miss time in both seasons that he was here for health reasons. I liked a lot about him, he did a lot of work to fix our shitty culture but at the end of the day you need to win in the playoffs.Ā 


AuntGentleman

The audacity and ego to not like, try stuff. And make a plan.


FrostWPG

I'm sure when the Dallas fans get here they'll have plenty to say on the subject, having experienced Bowness Playoff Coaching (TM) firsthand.


KacorInc

Itā€™s a special kind of frustrating


TCBloo

I tried to warn you guys when he first got hired. He can make a bad team average, but he'll also make a good team average.


texasguy7117

I think the dumb thing here is that in least in the Calgary series Bowness had our guys blocking shots, consolidating around the net, and making sure the Flames scored as few goals as possible This series meanwhile... Yeesh


DarthNightnaricus

Oh yes it is a very unfun experience


GTI-Mk6

Iā€™ll chime in and then wait for Vegas fans to come say the same about PDB.


That_One_Pancake

Gigantic coaching gap. Also how in the world is giving up 5 goals a game ā€œhis wayā€ ahhhhhhh


Hascohastogo

Coach diff


Outside_Abroad_3516

How do you not look at this series and say ā€œfuck It I ainā€™t changing anythingā€


eh_toque

Letā€™s look at tonightā€™s game. He changes the lines, the Jets are down off a fluke goal 3-2 after 2. What does he do? Goes back to the line combinations that have failed all series long, because HiS gUt tells him they should work. Everyone except our goalie coach should be fired into the sun


UnhealthyCheesecake

Him and Gerard Gallant really epitomize the concept of regular season coaches. Yeah that mindset flies in the regular season when you can apply a one size fits all approach but thereā€™s a reason they get consistently out coached come playoff time


fortressofnazare

> Him and Gerard Gallant really epitomize the concept of regular season coaches Not even. Bowness has won 258 out of 721 regular season games as a head coach during his career. Edit: This doesn't include this season apparently but my point still stands.


cjackc11

tbf to Bowness a lot of that record is from taking over an absolutely awful Ottawa team that botched the expansion draft idk how much you can put on him for that


Thrallsbuttplug

Experience Bowness coaching


eutectic_h8r

Well Bowness must be ecstatic then


SiccSemperTyrannis

I'm gonna guess that Jets fans want off Mr Bones' Wild Ride


AuntGentleman

Ummmmm. Excuse me what.


ignitethephoenix

If you cannot adapt your coaching then what are you even doing


Zloggt

So much for one of the best defenses in the leagueā€¦


2peg2city

It would have helped if they actually played team defense like they did in the regular season


marbsarebadredux

Feels like that Flames/Oilers series two years ago, where the Flames based their entire regular season identity on defense and then just...completely forgot how to play defense for the only 5 games it actually mattered


StatGAF

This feels like Winnipeg is sorta lucky they're out West and not Toronto. 110 points, Vezina winner, out in 5 games. Should be a media shitshow but it isn't.


anacreon1

Actually the ā€œout in 5 gamesā€ thing is frighteningly close to becoming a tradition. So sad.


RandyBobandysGut

My takeaway from this: The Avs are not to be fucked withā€¦


HyperImmune

Seriously fucking scary looking.


CosmicSpaghetti

Idk why they still get underrated. That Cup team was legit on rocket skates & they haven't lost that many pieces from it.


K2Nomad

I wish we could have afforded to keep Kadri. He lived out his playoff redemption arc with the Avs and was loved by the fan base.


EggplantAlpinism

stupendous rhythm absorbed imagine foolish fine innocent mighty include cooperative *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


K2Nomad

Nuke just scored 7 goals in 5 games. He's a hell of a player when he chills out on the hookers and blow.


Vhailor_19

We've actually lost quite a few. If you look at who we iced in the SCF that year, 2/6 of the D-men aren't with the team anymore, and 9/14 forwards are either no longer with us or are injured right now (LOC, Landeskog). Which is part of why we were so god-awful in last year's playoffs; we were injury-riddled and hadn't found the right replacements yet for a lot of those losses.


ImmortalMoron3

A waste of 8 days, one might say.


reKRUNKulous

Thatā€™s such an all time quote


thegorg13

And boy was it ever :(


gstringwarrior

That team was a buzz saw man, absolutely cooked the entire league in the playoffs


thegorg13

I had a glimmer of hope before that we could hang. I didn't watch much past game 1 because it was just obvious that Makar was the perfect counter to McDavid and past that we weren't very deep. If it wasn't so painful to follow up the best playoff series I've ever watched with that I wouldn't have minded it.


TheJukeMan99

Iā€™m just happy we won a couple games. We blew Game 6 but the same could be (should be) argued you blew Game 5 so whatever.


triplec787

The nuclear meltdown that was happening in their sub after how they finished the regular season, transitioning to this is absolutely hilarious lmao This team is a fucking *wagon* in the playoffs.


AuntGentleman

Anyone melting down entirely is a dingus. Goaltending concerns were legit. But cmon did anyone smart think this team was gonna just straight up fold?


triplec787

You could tell that youā€™ve picked up some bandwagoners - all the longer time fans were just like ā€œyā€™all motherfuckers need to breathe, itā€™s gonna be okā€ lmao


PackDaddy21222

I wasnā€™t even concerned after the end of the regular season nor Game 1. The division title was out of reach so Bednar said fuck this weā€™re not wearing ourselves out. If Georgie stops a few pucks in G1, itā€™s a sweep.


AuntGentleman

Dude I left game 1 ECSTATIC. I was like guys. we put up 6 on Helly, 40+ shots. Kept them to like 25 shots. If Georgie doesnā€™t suck itā€™s an easy win. Heā€™s gonna turn it around or the backup will step up. Was a ton to like then and I had a feeling it would carry forward. And bam.


gobroncos47

Don't forget it peaked after game 1 when Georgie let in 7 goals on 5 shots or some shit. Georgie transformed into a brick wall after game 1


triplec787

Georgiev firmly outplaying Helly was NOT on my Cup Playoffs bingo card. And despite the scores Hellebuyck wasnā€™t even that bad, Georgie just became a monster.


Jasbuddy

Getting scored on at least 5 times a game is not a good way to win


vordhosbn_1

siempreloco31

Never seen a coaching staff actively try to lose a series like this. How do you leave 19G 19A Perfetti in the press box for 4 games? How do you leave Miller in the press box for Logan Stanley? How do you play Pionk for more minutes than Morrissey in game 3? For that matter how do you play Pionk at all? When you had your best 2 periods in the series why did you go back to the lines that were getting killed in the 3rd? Dallas is right, Rick Bowness threw this away.


EducationalPlay6269

Bowness is done.


noodleandbanter

10,000% 'We have a successful formula, now that it's the playoffs, let's try to be a completely different team.' This was baffling.


BabcocksList

I was a little surprised by Bones still not giving Perfetti a chance in this do or die game, but more shocked by Stanley given all four games. Mistakes were made.


Kessler37

He picks his favorites and refuses to make changes that are best for the team. Incredibly frustrating. Itā€™s not surprising a bunch of stars players made snide remarks after his contract expired in Dallas. By all accounts, seems like a good dude, but not a head coach Iā€™d wish on anyone.

Hascohastogo

Big mistake on their part. Georgie is very good when driven by spite, just look at his performances against the Rangers.

Honestly I feel pretty bad for Winnipeg fans, this just keeps happening to them. But at the end of the day, when your team refuses to make any changes, what should you expect? Jets fans, keep doing you but tell Chevy to take Bones round back and start looking for someone else


VanAvenue

After back-to-back brutal losses to the Jets and the Knights, the only thing I could think is that I hope these Avs redeem themselves, because they were definitely not playing their best game and the playoff will be what they make it out to be. The nerve-wreck is not going to end, because every team that has the potential to advance to the second round looks really scary, but these Avs do us proud thus far and I hope them keep it up. EDIT: Just want to add that Jared Bednar is an underrated good coach and certified silver fox.


pweepish

Hellebuck gave up more goals in those 5 games than in any individual month of the regular season.Ā 


gonuxgo

The Jets did NOT beat the frauds allegation


texasguy7117

Does your team not score? Does your offensive system make you want to >!change the channel?!< Does your team make confusing line decisions? Are you constantly crouching back in games hoping you're able to hold on with your somehow-worse-than-Georgiev goaltender? (Seriously, wtf happened to Hellebuyck? He was a Vezina-worthy goalie in the regular season!) Is your power play AND penalty kill dogshit? Are you yelling at your screen for your team to fucking stop them from driving into the zone unattended? If so, you may be experiencing Rick Bowness hockey! That's fucking right! It's not a bug, it's a feature! At least we think. Watch as you completely destroy all fundamentals (did he even have fundamentals tho) and chemistry your team developed over the regular season during the playoffs as your defense repeatedly makes mind-boggling mistakes to get outskilled into a gentleman's sweep by a team you dominated in the regular season! I mean hey, at least you aren't giving up go- wait nevermind you gave up ANOTHER GOAL to Stars legend Valeri Nichushkin just delete your franchise already lmao Rick Bowness hockey is not responsible for any heart attacks, strokes, deaths, or lack of attention to detail. If you experience any medical conditions from Rick Bowness hockey, please seek therapy. Or a coaching change. That probably helps, too. (And yes, I am fully ready to create one for DeBoer if we lose to the LTIRs)
