Winnipeg had a great regular season, but the Jets couldn’t match Colorado’s intensity in one-sided opening-round series
Colorado Avalanche left wing Artturi Lehkonen celebrates his goal against the Winnipeg Jets with teammate Colorado Avalanche center Casey Mittelstadt in the second period during game five of the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Canada on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
As the story goes, the young, up-and-coming Edmonton Oilers had just lost the 1983 Stanley Cup Final to the dynastic New York Islanders. When some of the Oilers went past the Islanders’ dressing room, they saw a subdued celebration with players placing bags of ice on their bodies. Those images drove home a lesson for the Oilers about what it really takes to win the playoffs, and their own dynasty followed.
Colorado Avalanche left wing Miles Wood puts Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller into the boards behind the net in the first period during game five of the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Canada on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. “There was no panic in our room. It just wasn’t there,” Bednar said. “They understood that they didn’t play well. They identified that. We went through things we knew we had to do better. They were bought into it and they were committed to it. It’s kind of where our team is at. It’s a veteran group, a really good team. They know when we play really well what it looks like.
The forechecking intensity continued. The effort to defend continued. The mistakes were cleaned up. And Georgiev’s turnaround became a symbol of the mental toughness it takes at times to win in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
