The Winnipeg Jets owned the Colorado Avalanche in the regular season and triumphed in Game 1 of their playoff series. But with an atrocious penalty kill and sub-par play from Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg saw their Stanley Cup hopes vanish rapidly, dropping 4 straight to Nathan MacKinnon and the Avs. Where do the Jets go from here? Comment below, and stick around for all sorts of videos and live streams throughout the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

What can the Jets do from here with an established, but underperforming core? How much accountability is on the Jets defense vs Hellebuyck vs and coaching? Lmk your thoughts!
And here I was looking like as much of a believer as Jesse Pollock 😂
This isn't the Maple Leafs 🤔
In terms of the next round, I think the Avs match up better against Dallas but would have home ice against Vegas…so I'd take Vegas.
Disagree, Vancouver is the most embarrassing. They’re barely beating Nashville despite seeding way higher and Nashville being a pretty lousy team to begin with.
With how everything is going around Canada with the hockey teams, Winnipeg absolutely needed a deep playoff run.
I've noticed a bad trend with Helly. 3 years of regular season improvement and 3 years of playoff decline. Perhaps he's simply not a "money goalie"?
It seems Hellebuyck is a regular season goaltender and not a playoffs goaltender.
Man, I feel for Hellebuyck.
Guy saw his team break down defensively time and time again.
Screened (by up to three guys in close) on SIX separate occasions.
Multiple odd man rushes.
And just not playing the disciplined style they had for stretches this season.
That, and Colorado took advantage of home ice and just played smarter with leads and more aggressively when trailing.
Clearly, Colorado has experience in pressure situations, and confidence in situations where closing counts.
Nothing against Iafallo and Vilardi, but neither player has had that. Aside from Toffoli (who had softened with the Flames), few Jets have ever had real playoff success.
And when the chips were on the table, Colorado's offensive pressure was just better than Winnipeg's defensive resolve.
I mean.. someone pick them to win the cup… The Aves went through this with their core group. You have to elevate your play in the playoffs.. I am not sure how much of the Jet's team have play experience but they got now. Jets will be scary next year.
I joked with my brother that the Jets are the Leafs of the prairies. . .but even the Leaf's managed to force a game 6.
As an Avs fan who watches every game I always find it funny when people are surprised they got beat up by the Avs. They don't get enough credit, ever. The fact is they are a great team and its not even that the Jets played poorly the whole time. The announcers cant even pronounce Nichushkin right and he scores a hatty. No credit. The guy was in rehab this year, missed last playoffs with some crazy situation. He is such a good player now people can see and they are shocked. Also, lets be real if I was a coach and I knew my first round matchup was a team I was playing literally days before the playoffs I am not giving up any signs or plays or systems that I will be using in the playoffs. Avs coaching probably did the same, then the Jets got a taste of the real avs once Gorgie could stop a puck. The avs always seem to adjust well to other teams. I also could sit back and say the Avs didn't even play as well make a bunch of excuses and take all credibility away from the Jets. Not to mention all this is happening without our Capt who is a huge loss.
lol don’t blow this up, jets played a very well oiled machine, that match there great defensive game, with an unmatched offensive juggernaut, when you’ve got a modern bobby orr in Cale makar, with the one of the leagues best players in Nate mack, who clearly will not shy away from playoff hockey, with the nichuskins, rantanens of the world, it’s tough but don’t hang your heads.
Colorado has such amazing fire power and their experience in the playoffs shows they have the power and talent to win it all
All this without Drouin, whos the most likely Masterson winner.
Hats off to Georgie, many player's would crumble after his Game 1 performance.
Was that last Jets win over the Avalanche in the regular season one big slow roll by the Av's?
0:53 that was a pretty embarrassing Cup finals prediction lmao
I thought Helly was good for you, it was the rest of your team that couldnt keep up with the Avs,…… avs shelled the shit outta you
They're my home team but I'm not heartbroken, I put money on the Canes in the East and Oilers in the West in the pre-season, Edmonton had me worried there for awhile. If they didn't make the playoffs my backup choices would have been the Canucks and Rangers. Jets were the 6th team on my list, I thought the Panthers had a better shot going into the playoffs than the Jets, but I still cheered for them until they were eliminated.
It's the Avs playing on another level. Winnipeg would be fine against anyone else in the West.
Um you picked Tampa for the finals who also got embarrassed in the first round 😂😂😂😂
The Lose-a-peg Jets easily made the worst showing in the playoffs. Even the Capitals and the Lightning played in games that were close.
This just goes to show the playoffs are an all together different animal. Jets could be in trouble
Of course the Jets got owned, they never have and never were a contender. This team on the Blueline has a #1 and 5 5-6 d-men. They are not a team that plays an attention to detail game, just rely on goaltending to stand on their head and keep them in the games when they take 10, 15, 25 minute stretches off where they just go through the motions. Blaming Hellebuyck is a scape goat and nothing more. Get a real defense and maybe things will change, till then they will always be a myth of a contender.
Regular season goaltending doesn't carry over to playoffs. Picking the team with the better goaltending has been a terrible idea since the 04 lockout. Idk why people still do it
Trade Ehlers, Neiderraiter, Schmidt, Pionk, and Appleton. All were garbage. Missed assignments, penalties, mis handling pucks, lack of effort/ physical play.
If we get rid of Cheveldayoff, watch the team take a complete nosedive over the next 5 years
The Avs forecheck was highly underrated this series, it was RELENTLESS…caused so many forced errors and grade A scoring chances
and people said these guys were gonna win the cup ahaha what delusional pricks
As a avs fan, the jets r very embarrassing rn, so r the isles, and caps, but we knew they were easy first round exits
this guy picked the jets to win the cup lol
GO AVALANCHE!!!!
Get rid of Chevy! When will ownership finally tire of mediocrity? If they think doing the same thing over and over again is going to help the season ticket drive they better go back to business school and take a refresher course. Pitiful!
I am a Canadian, a resident of Winnipeg, and a Winnipeg Jets' fan. I enjoyed the video. A very "fair" appraisal. Well done. Subscribed.
