Comes down to Scheifele and the gang thinking they could hang with rantanen mack and makar. Lowry did an ok job shutting down Mack but tonight they gave up 3 to them. Scheifele non factor Vilardi must be hurt. Ehlers not great. Monahan didn’t play. Toffoli was a bust. It is what it is. PK really killed them also. Did all year. Pionk also. Take Stanley out and pionk turns it over 50 x more. 

Jets lost to a juggernaut. Played their best game tonight. Showed heart and pushback. Really did. They had a solid year but I would hope they recognize that some change is necessary especially on the defensive end. 
 
Dillon and miller won’t be back. 
pionk should be gone. Schmidt is actually a find 3 d man. Demelo is ufa also 
Toffoli obviously a rental. Think they would move Iafallo and his 4 million cap hit. Perhaps one of Ehlers or Connor also.  Connor prob has more value. Think this series showed that our best game was our last one and it wasn’t good enough. 
 
ch ch. changes coming. 
 
gotta wonder if this is the end of Bowness. 
 
jets didn’t collapse and die tonight so that’s definitely a good sign. 
Pionk really really bad tho. I’d strongly consider using a buyout there because I’m not sure he’s worth anything in a trade. 
 
Wonder what chipman was thinking 
 
28 goals against in 5 games. Yikes. The team D got exposed 

Super disappointing but not surprised how this ended. 
Allowing 5 goals against is unacceptable. 
Refs, although not the difference, we're quite poor this game.

No, but it did give the Avs an advantage more often than not. 5 power plays in game 3 in the third, and one for the Jets when calls got missed. Stanley gets called for a clean check on a player with the puck when Scheifele gets interfered with and no call. The consistency was not there for most of the series. And special teams was the key to the Avs success in large part all series. 

These ******* refs.  There have been so many ******* missed calls on the Jets it's infuriating.  Of course the blatant interference on 55 goes uncalled and then the Avs promptly score.  Jets should.have a 5-3 late 2nd. Miller gets hit in the head... No call.  
But Colton drops to the ice and is doing his soccer impression and gets a call.  Then Parise gets hurt and they blow the whistle.
The officiating has been f****** awful this series and it's biased against the Jets.  10 mins left in the season.  
Omfg!!!! That's a clean hit by 13.   How they ******* call that a penalty?????

True. Still, the jets have won more reg season games than any other Canadian team since their return in 2011. And none of those other squads have done much better in the playoffs. and when you add in the fact that Winnipeg is the least desirable market for free agents in the NHL… Well, it just helps to keep perspective.

This seems to work every April sadly ...

I will say the management has built a very competitive entertaining regular season team. I genuinely enjoyed a majority of the games this season, especially during that final run at the end. When it's hockey played at regular season speed, the Jets are a top class team.
But how do you solve this problem of dissolving so quickly and spectacularly in the playoffs? What's that secret sauce?

I agree with this. Chevy has done a great job building the team he wants to build, but we need to see what someone else can do.

When someone repeatedly shows you who they are, believe them.

Hey, I get it. But please… reconsider. I still want the team!

Also helped that we were playing the Predators and not the Avalanche. Vancouver and Edmonton definitely have inferior opponents in Round 1 despite having worse records. 

Wow. So disheartening. 

Competitive in the regular season, just ******* garbage in the play offs. 
 
Maddening.

“Every game”?
🤔
helle .871 tonight. Definitely made a few great saves. But, so did the other guy. I don’t think he outplayed the other guy. And he has to for us to have a chance. He has to be the same guy he is in the regular season and he has just not been. The tying goal was right through his legs again.
and Ehlers? Outside of that overtime goal against Edmonton in 2021, he’s always been a meh playoff performer as well.
It’s really too bad. It’s all very disappointing.

I just don't understand the difficulty the Jets are having in bringing consistent high levels of structured intensity to their every shift.
Puck battles, forechecking, back checking etc lacks energy that is totally opposite of how the Avs are playing.
To me that means lack of preparation, discipline, focus etc.
Toffoli didn't seem in the game at all. No energy, disinterested.  

Absolutely. Except that it was 50 min of getting dominated. And the tiring narrative around Helle, the “best goalie in the world” and “shoe in for the Vezina trophy” gets very aggravating when it doesn’t translate into playoff performance.
Like, it doesn’t really matter at all what you do in the regular season if you can’t back it up in the playoffs. 
Toffoli invisible. Slow.

Helle has yet to prove he can be the guy in the playoffs. The first two goals were definitely stoppable. First one five hole… His stick’s gotta be there. Second one wasn’t really screened or touched, was it? Third one he created 100% himself and the fourth one…??  His save % is **** in the playoffs.

Gorgiev out duelled Hellebuyck.
Ehlers couldn't make a ******* pass all game.  2nd line did nothing.
This team reverted to it's losing ways. 

Great regular season goalie but it’s obvious Helle is not all that in the playoffs 😟

What a pile of hot garbage. Jets look like **** and while Helle has been unreal at times, he's also let in some muffins. That first goal was embarrassing as a pro goalie. 10 goals given up in two games... While that's not all on Helle, that is not Jets hockey.
