As coach said, he's not going to criticize a playoff win but he admitted post game 1 that they would have to make improvements in their game going forward.
The players may nod in agreement but the worry for me is, will they really buy into coach's line of thinking, or will they inherently go with what brought them "success" (i.e., a win) last game?
Of course there is always the wondering the effect the Whiteout has on both teams. From my own memory, it always seems to be the opposing team that's energized, coming out of the gate like a bat out of hell while the Jets hang on for dear life, hoping to survive the first 5 minutes or so until the crowd settles in. Once again that was the Jets formula last game, Hellebuyck basically keeping the Jets from losing the game in the first 10 minutes.
So tonight is Game 2. Crowd will be wild again but it should not overwhelm the guys like it maybe did last game. I also expect Jets will tighten things up significantly in their own zone, as much as they can against an offensive juggernaut.
Avs are going with Georgiev again as they apparently have little option. I expect he will be better (could he be statistically worse?), although Jets should still win the goaltending battle.
So far it looks like Jets will be going with the same lineup but it seems like some speculation or maybe wish that Schmidt get the nod over Stanley. Myself, I'd keep the big guy in there.
Nervous before every Jets game but REALLY nervous about this one!
From Illegal Curve:
Projected Lines & D pairs:
Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi Ehlers - Monahan - Toffoli Niederrieter - Lowry - Appleton Gustafsson - Namestnikov - Iafallo
Morrissey - DeMelo Dillon - Pionk Stanley - Samberg
Hellebuyck Brossoit
GO JETS GO!

More nervous that proboards can or can't stand the heat this game! Weak performance last game.

Definitely nervous about Game 2....hoping the Jets meet my expectations in terms of play, but since I bit the bullet & bought the AHL playoff package at least I get to watch the Moose play until the puck drops in the Jets game.

Go Moose! What's the cost of the package? It's $29.99 US for all the AHL playoff games, but I am only likely to watch the Moose so it's only a great value if they win a series (which they haven't done so far while I've been watching them). You can also pay $8.99 for just one days games, which would be the cheaper option if Manitoba doesn't win this play-in round.

GO JETS GOππππ Cheers, 2b9πππ No guarantees, of course, but if the Jets go up 2-0, the Avs will be hard pressed to mount a comeback- they would have to win 4 of the last 5 games. However, the Jets are still seen as underdogs. Expect the Avs to storm out of the gate, so the homeboys will play much much better defence than they did on Sunday or have to try to come back.

That's not too bad but yeah, I probably would only have interest as long as Moose are in it too.
