Analyst rips apart the Winnipeg Jets after horrible game 3

An analyst covering the Winnipeg Jets says the team lost its composure during game 3 of their 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs series against the Colorado Avalanche

The Winnipeg Jets went into their first round series of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Colorado Avalanche as the betting favourites to make it to the second round. The team now finds itself losing the series 2-1 after a terrible game 3 against the Avs that was the Jets second loss in a row.

Mike McIntyre, who's been covering the Winnipeg Jets for years for the Winnipeg Free Press, says the team allowed itself to get rattled, and couldn't recover.





As McIntyre points out, all was well through the first two periods, and the team then fell apart.


Murat Ates of The Athletic feels much the same way about the Jets' play in game 3, calling the outcome "self-inflicted."



As with all teams trailing in a series, there is precious little time to turn things around before you risk losing it all. The Winnipeg Jets have to figure out how to calm things down and stick to their game in the third period, or a quick exit is in the cards.
