There will be missing posters stapled and taped to electrical poles and lamp posts across Winnipeg on Wednesday.“Reward if found: A do-over in the Stanley Cup playoffs.”There are no second chances in this game. Nothing’s left to uncover.The best team in Canada, with 52 wins and 110 points, gone before the country’s three other participants.

The Avalanche were so good at neutralizing the Jets’ defensive strengths and goaltending wonders that they forced them into some unsavoury pages of the NHL’s history books. Before that, the Jets were going shot for shot with the Avs, outshooting them for the first time in the series and battling back to a tie game when Tyler Toffoli levelled it with his second 2:06 into the final frame.Kyle Connor, who had three in the series, opened Winnipeg’s account on a goal that Josh Manson tried to clear, only to see it rebound off Artturi Lehkonen and into the net 1:15 into the first.

Winnipeg’s good fortunes on Connor’s opener would come back to haunt them at 13:45 when Lehkonen’s pass attempt was too much for Neal Pionk to handle as the blue-liner redirected it into his own net.
