WCQF: (2) Winnipeg Jets vs. (3) Minnesota Wild | Winnipeg Leads Series 3-1

[Saitama]

Jets in 9.

 

[McDLT]

Wild in 7

I haven't seen either of these teams enough to call it with any confidence, but I could see a Minnesota upset coming if it weren't for the suter injury

Wpg in 6

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I think all of Canada is rooting for the Jets. They are unofficially adopted as Canada's team as the white out returns! I think the Wild will be a lot tougher than they are given credit for. But home ice should make the difference for the Jets.

man i knew it was only a matter of time before the whole "which team will all of canada cheer for" thing happened.

 

[Legend123]

Jets with the sweep

I get the impression that everyone in Canada hates every other Canadian team besides their own and the Jets.

As a Jets fan I hate it. I'd never cheer for another Canadian team at this point in the "drought" and don't expect or desire other fans to cheer for the jets.

Imagine how smug and full of themselves the winning fanbase will be.

I WANT TO BE THAT SMUG FANBASE!



Anyways, considering how coaches love to run their top D-men in the playoffs the Suter injury really hurts the Wild. He might have played 30 minutes a night against the Jets.

Jets in 9.

Why your screen is upside-down?

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Jets and Wild reach game seven, and then overtime continues infinitely. In 50 years we'll be taking our grandkids to see this series still going on, and they will look up and ask us to remember the start of the series.

Josh Morrissey will log 25 years of cumulative ice time, and be hailed as the greatest D-man to ever play the game.

 

[Cellee]

For the first time ever, a Bruce Boudreau team will not have home ice advantage in a playoff series.

Gonna be interesting to see how he does in the underdog role.

Get the whine box set up, he is a gigantic cry baby.

 

[hansomreiste]

Existential crisis starting to kick in for me now.

A) Watch WPG-MIN with all games more than likely to start at 3:00 / 3:30 AM, which means it is impossible to watch full two games at those nights. Sacrifice the rest for the glory of Jets. Get sad.

B) Go for traditional coast-to-coast schedule; watch two games consecutively. Miss the entire WPG-MIN series and get sad.

imnot sleeping on minni sodaaa. series will be closer than ppl think due to pressure on the jets and inexperiance. jets in 6 or 7 is my guess. i hope jets in 5 or 6 tho

 

[Plub]

I absolutely hate the jets. I cannot stand their fans and wish that they would continue their playoff winless streak.... but they are going to stomp the Wild.

 

[204hockey]

The Jets/Thrashers have never won a playoff game. Wild in 4.

my god. has a puck ever got lost in that kid in your avatars nostrils during play ? dude looks like hes walking around with two black gobstoppers tucked in his nostrils.

Wild in 6

We've seen what they can do as a big first round underdog- Colorado/St. Louis in 2014-2015, scared Dallas big time in 2016.

And the West for once might be open for them since their playoff bugaboo (Chicago) is nowhere to be found.

Plus..... Playoff Underdog Bruce Boudreau.

 

[Aphid]

The Wild currently have 98 points and they didn't get there just because of Suter...

They're a good team and it's totally plausible they can pull an upset which is worrisome. Jets in 6 though.

 

[Its a Trap]

It goes 7 and ends in overtime.

 

[Fire Benning]

Been waiting for this series for a while to potentially spark a rivalry between these two.

Jets in 6.

Where is this nonsense that Boudreau has never been the coach for an underdog heading into a series coming from?

 

[Blue Shakehead]

Gonna be a hell of a series. Dubnyk scares the hell out of me and Parise is clutch.

Minnesota Nice vs Friendly Manitoba, which will likely be decided by who apologizes the most. Lets get it on.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

It goes 7 and ends in overtime.

Not sure I could survive that.

 

[Danrs112]

we are notorious for selling our tickets. CHI fans threw lots of money at us...wonder if WPG is going to pay for a few people's season tickets next year.

CAD to USD exchange rate will make it harder for Jets fans to pay as high of a premium.

 

[Metroid]

I think all of Canada is rooting for the Jets. They are unofficially adopted as Canada's team as the white out returns! .

Lol
Uh No.

I get the impression that everyone in Canada hates every other Canadian team besides their own and the Jets.

I'd say it's 50/50. Some Canadians will cheer for other Canadian teams because they want the cup to come back to Canada. The others would rather gouge their eyes out than see a Canadian team other than their own bring the cup back.

I'm thinking the Jets could win in 5 or 6 mostly because the Wild injuries are more significant that the Jets. It would be pretty even if both teams were playing 100% healthy. A lot of Jets players do lack playoff experience though, so hopefully they handle it well.
