Well... I mean you can Bobby Clarke him...Every time Mackinnon is on the ice I pucker a little. He's the type of player that can take over a game or series and there's almost not a goddamn thing you can do to stop him
The good news is that Helle is the same. Play the system and if he's sharp, we should have a decent chance
Pretty much depends on what version of the Jets show up.If the guys, especially Scheifele line can not get killed by MacKinnon line its hard not to like our chances.
Avs at their best are a lot style wise like The Preds I think. Maybe I'm way off base? But both are all about applying pressure to you in transition. Speed speed speed.
Their bottom six may not be able to be effective against better system teams. But if they show up, or the Jets details slip a bit... momentum means a lot in short series.
The interesting thing about that series vs edmonton was that the Jets came out and played a completely different system in thr playoffs than they did in the regular season vs them that shut them downI really want to predict a Jets victory in the series...so I will! Jets in 7.
Buuuuuuuuut...I keep thinking back to a season not too far in the past when a certain Edmonton team dominated us during the regular season and we went into the playoffs with everyone predicting we'd lose to those same oilers and we ended up sweeping them right out of the dance. I'm not sure I feel super confident based on anything that's happened this season against the Avs.
Sigh…..truth.SN does not want to broadcast the Jets on a Saturday night.

I think that in order for the Avs to beat us (assuming we're playing our game within bones system), they'll have to make some kind of adjustment to how they play. After listening to their coach talk after we shitkicked them, I'm not very confident in his ability to draw something up and implement it in a week
If I DON’T see a sign that says that at the playoff game I will be sad.Avs are frauds.
