'We feel good about ourselves:' Jets coach Bowness optimistic after Game 2 loss

Despite the Jets losing 5-2 to the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday in a Game 2 that evened their first-round playoff series at 1-1, Bowness saw improvements in his team’s play from Sunday’s wild 7-6 victory.

So is the glass half full or half empty at this point in the Western Conference best-of-seven series? However, the Jets accounted for two of those losses as they took the season series 3-0, including a 7-0 victory on April 13 and a 4-2 win Dec. 7.While regular-season results are usually tossed out the window when the playoffs roll around, Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey said their success in Denver can help a little bit.

Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck outperformed Avalanche counterpart Alexandar Georgiev in Winnipeg’s Game 1 victory, stopping 40 of 46 shots while Georgiev let in seven goals on 23 shots. “Certainly, you have to honour their top players and understand how dynamic they are, but at the same time we have a great team. We need to continue to push that aggressiveness.”When Bowness was behind the bench for Winnipeg’s Game 1 victory, the 69 year old became the oldest head coach in NHL history to win a playoff game.
