Colorado +135 over Winnipeg

The final score of Game 1 read 7-6 in favor of Winnipeg but you can rack that score up to nothing but pure luck, as Winnipeg was chasing Colorado’s puck handlers all night long. It was pure domination by the Avalanche. Of the 16 teams that made the playoffs, none had a worse performance than Winnipeg except for Colorado’s goaltender. In the NHL, or all sports for that matter, results happen but results don’t tell the story all the time. Under the hood or below the surface Winnipeg was horrible while Colorado brought its championship pedigree to the ice. 

The Winnipeg newspaper headline read “WOW”. Nowhere in the article did it mention how Colorado dominated play. Nowhere did it mention how Winnipeg was extremely lucky to escape with a win. After the Game 1 Jets’ victory, Elliotte Friedman chipped in with this brainless narrative (in his Elliotte Friedman voice), “Imagine your Colorado and just scored six goals on Connor Hellebuyck and lost. If Colorado goes on to lose this series, they’ll look at Game 1 as to why”. 

Hey idiot, let’s say the final score was 1-0. Here’s your narrative, “ Imagine you’re Colorado and didn’t score even a single goal. If Colorado goes on to lose this series, they’ll look to Game 1 as to why”. 

Let’s imagine the final score was 4-3. Here’s Eliiotte Friedman again, “Imagine you’re Colorado and had a great chance to win Game 1 but didn’t. If Colorado loses this series, they’ll look to Game 1 as to the reason why”.   

What about the Leafs and Boston last night? Here’s Elliotte Friedman again, “Imagine you’re Boston, you scored first, you scored a very late goal in the first period to take a 2-1 lead, Toronto had a goal disallowed and yet you still lost despite all the deflating factors that Toronto had to overcome. If Boston goes on to lose this series, they’ll look at Game 2 as the reason why. 

The point is, Elliotte Friedman and the rest of the media has influence on the public but those narratives are completely moronic. You can apply it to any game. Here’s another narrative: If Colorado dominates again and fires away another 50 shots on net to the Jets 24 and dominates the time of possession in the offensive end again just like they did in Game 1, then Winnipeg is going to have to be on the extreme side of good luck again to even have a remote chance of winning. That’s not likely to happen. Give us the superior side by a wide margin to win in regulation and we’ll take our chances. To Elliotte Friedman, “Imagine you're a hockey analyst and you get hit in the head with a puck and say the stupidest things that mean absolutely jack. 

Go Avs.
