The Sun Is Setting On The Winnipeg Jets Season…Is There Any Hope Of A Comeback?



On tonight’s episode, we recap a dispiriting but unsurprising Winnipeg Jets defeat in Colorado. What led to Winnipeg’s third straight loss against the Avalanche? Who should bear the brunt of the blame for how poor the Jets have been in the playoffs? Is Bones aware of which decisions have negatively impacted the team the most? How are the players responding to the lack of in-game adjustments and poor play? Will Winnipeg make any changes ahead of game 5? Who should draw into the line-up, and will it truly make any difference, or is this series over?

  1. I heard on another jets podcast that they didn’t do what the avs did and got walker from the flyers apparently they had there chance and blew it glad avs got him but this series ain’t over just yet I think jets show up in game 5.

  2. I'm still a Winnipeg Jets fan regardless of what happens. Personally, I want our team to tank next season & make a run at drafting Michael Misa. Even if we don't get the 1st overall pick in 2025, I'd trade whatever I can (except Vilardi & McGroarty) to get Misa. He's a generational talent & I'd be willing to tank one season if it means we can get Michael Misa. Misa will sell tickets & win championships for us if we get him.

  3. Its true, u can't teach speed. Toffoli and Monahan were great adds, but hasn't add to Jets overall pace of play. Jets are one of the heaviest forechecking team and in the regular season, they did at will. I think the Avs adjustment was to gamble by over playing Morrissey and allowing the Jets to try to beat them up the ice with any other defense by a great pass or even to try to skate out with the puck. They know Morrissey if given time and space, he will allow that heavy forecheck to be an issue.

  4. Hey guys, Avs fan here with my 2 cents (probably highly unwelcome). I think Jets are a great unit with a good coach, your regular season proves that and you spanked us three times. The problem is you don't have superstars, with the obvious exception of Bucky. There's no Matthews/McDavid/MacKinnon/Makars in Winnipeg, and it pretty much boils down to that – although there's argument to be made that Bowness doesn't have a plan B. When the playoffs come, you don't have the ammunition to compete with the elite teams. You need to make some big trades, or tank and draft well. This series isn't over yet so I'm not counting my chickens, but the truth is you can't hang with our skating and the truly great Connor Hellebuyck can't win a series like this by himself. Good luck the rest of the way (but not too much!), and make some good trades in the summer!

  5. After numbers breakdown there’s a 22 percent swing for the Avs on the Pk AND the Pp. you can’t win like that.

  6. Avs fan here: honestly, we didn't expect our 2nd line to emerge that huge – Mittelstadt and Co. are throwing a wrench into Jets' works constantly. It seems to put your gameplan into disarray and gives tons of opportunities for the Avs' top line.
    The series is not done by any means, but it already proved a lesson for the Jets. Believe me, if you happen to reach the SC Finals this, or some future season, I'll be rooting for you.
    PS. Harrison, thanks for truly nice cross-overs with Chris and Shaggy. Take care!

  7. Harrison, you are right. One problem is theJets do not have a lot of speed or size. Colorado is not big but they sure are fast. The Jets will never go far unless they tank and draft superstars. The truth is Scheifele, our best forward, would be a second liner on a lot of teams. The Jets have no superstars and when they get to the playoffs, they get outclassed. It's just that simple. The coaching is a problem as well, but unless ownership is willing to tank to draft superstars, (instead of trying to just be mediocre every year), the Jets will never go really far.

  8. Big problem is the lack of efficient pick moving Dmen in the lineup. Avs are forechecking like crazy. Morrissey is the only one and schmidt to an extent. Avs are able to get pucks out their zone with their core
