2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Golden Knights 4 Jets 1 post-game 5 recap

In a game the Winnipeg Jets absolutely had to win they absolutely did not. They didn’t start on time and were a step behind the Golden Knights for most of this contest. And with a whimper they lose the series to Vegas four games to one (just as they did in 2017-18). They are the first team eliminated from the playoffs. Might this be the last game for the core?  And so they begin what might be the most interesting offseason in Jets 2.o history.

Notable:

First shot on the Jets net in the 1st period and a goal just 53 seconds into the hockey game. That’s suboptimal.

First shot on the Jets net in the 2nd period and a goal just just 42 seconds into the middle frame. That’s very suboptimal.

And that’s how it continued for the remainder of this contest.

Kyle Connor scored a meaningless goal in the 3rd.

Jets played final eight minutes with the goalie pulled.
