Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2024/2025 Season

Wow, that was a nail-biter.

How could it be a trap game?

These are the Avs. They dunked on us in the play-offs last year. If you can't bring your A game tonight, when will you?

I mean, I think the results speak for themselves. By and large the Jets are the better team, but the Avs ran the table for the latter half of last night's game. And if not for Hellebuyck playing out of his mind, I don't think the Jets win.

The offense struggled more often than not last night, to the point Arniel shuffled the top lines.

Trap game, IMO. But they won, which is really all that matters.

13-1 and making history.

We might just be getting out definitions messed up.

I consider a trap game a game against an inferior opponent who you play down to.

Colorado is a great team and it was going to be a tough game no matter how well we played.

Is that not what happened last night?

The Avs have a pretty formidable roster but they're currently dealing with a packed IR. From that standpoint alone, I would argue they're inferior when compared to the Jets.
