Everything indicates this series should be a close and hard fought battle, could easily go to seven games.

This won't be two offensive teams trading goals in a high scoring, evenly matched series, it will be the Jets scoring an average of 3 per game against a mediocre defence and a starting goalie who might as well be a cardboard cutout and the Avs struggling to get anything by the Jets' tenacious D and dynamic duo of Hellebuyck and Brossoit. Unless the Jets' D break down at the same time their offence has a slump the Avs are outmatched, they'll need 4+ goals a game just to keep up and that's laughable. The only real area the Avs match up is in faceoffs, Lowry vs McKinnon.
Jets are my playoff team this year, let's kick some Av butt baby
as a Canadian whose favorite team is Colorado but Winnipeg is not too far behind, I really don't mind who wins this series
Winnipeg in 7
I'm from Winnipeg so I'm biased to the Jets, but the Avs are my second favourite team, so I'm happy with either team winning.
Jets in 6. Winnipeg are playing better than the sum of their parts, while Colorado are lacking cohesion. Teams win series, not individuals, and right now Jets are the better team.
Perfetti had 2 goals last night which included an empty netter.
Jets won the Jennings Trophy with only 199 goals against.
Easy to favor the Jets here. The Avs have firepower but Georgiev's shaky goaltending is a major problem.
GO JETS GO!!!
Is Connor healthy? He doesn't seem 100% to me. (Kyle)
Lets gooo! Did not expect to see you wearing Winnipeg this series really happy to see it !!! ✈️✈️
The difference makers in this series for The Jets will be Lowry, Pionk and Dillon. The Avs do not have answers for them.
The jets 3rd line will win this series, Lowry will be on Mckinnon like flies to shit, Jets in 6
Go Jets.
Winnipeg's my dark horse to win the West so I'll say Winnipeg. They've beaten every good team at least once, and they're incredible defensively so don't sleep on 'em
Home ice will allow Wpg to put the right players against MacKinnon to stifle him. I really think Wpg has the roster to do that. If MacKinnon doesn’t score the AVs are toast. Just that simple.
I’m desperate for a Jets win in the series admittedly for emotional reasons. They’ve been overlooked, disrespected and under rated forever. Nobody pays attention to them until now.
Winnipeg Jets go down the first game at home due too deafness, and then come back to win the series in six games.
MC Dry tandem is better than Avs and they were swept, anything less would be a let down.
GO JETS GO!!
If the Jets can play a disciplined game, meaning staying outta the penalty box, then they should win this. Jets are rolling
all 4 lines. Colorado talk about 2 players. Vezinabuyck is gonna be a wall. Barron is missing game one, so I’m thinking Perfetti gets in. Jets in 5!,
JETS SWEEP! #GoJetsGo✈
I've been an AVs fan since Game 1 (October 6, 1995 – still have my ticket stub and Opening Night poster!) but I also have to be realistic…
Winnipeg in 4 or 5 assuming Giorgiev sh!ts the bed like he has been…
Surprised there isn’t a bigger narrative about the jets being a regular season team. Much like the oilers no matter how good they are in the regular season, Winnipeg’s goaltending and goal scoring just evaporate in April. Hellebuyck is the best regular season goalie in the league, needs to prove he isn’t just that.
✈️✈️✈️
Go avs
I hope the jets win but i have to say i think Colorado will
Avs in 7. That's the best I can do
The only reason it's been a challenge for Nichuskin to stay in the lineup is he NHLPA player assistance program, we was never injured (at least for more than a game or two) and he's rehabbed, he's not injury proned
The Jets will win the series but it will go the full 7 games
Jets in 6
I have no connection to either team but I'm oddly excited to see this series
Disappointed in the number of "Avs fans" in the comments who have no faith in our team under the guise of "being realistic". Bruh were you throwing in the towels in 2022 also? It's the playoffs, anything can happen. I have nothing against the Jets, and am hoping for a great series. I was at that game 7-0 last week and my first thought wasn't "We're screwed" it was "Avs are going in with a chip on their shoulder and that's how they like it." IF the Jets take this series they are my Western pick. But I'm never, NEVER counting my Avs out until I see it go final.
True, the Jets prefer low scoring games. But: Against the Avs they scored high. This will be a very interesting match up. I have the Jets in 5.
Well what do you think who wins this 😂😂 colorado have defender outscorin winnibecks whole team and number one center 😂😂 theres that
