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

[Drewcifer]

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

Good. It would be a nice change of pace if there were a bunch of Wild fans up there.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

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.

C) Quit job, get another one after playoffs.

Jets in 4. Beat the f*** outta Minnie.

 

[JianYang]

If youre not cheering for the Jets, then you just never will cheer for any other Canadian team.

They are the least offensive franchise, as the other Canadian teams all have much stronger rivalries with other franchises.

 

[Neuf]

It's happening!

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

Every playoff series he had coached until this one vs. Winnipeg, he always had home-ice advantage.

Wild in 6

The Wild are good with a lot of PO experience which the Jets do not have but the Jets have more talent so I'll go with the Jets in 7 but would not be surprised is they go out in the first round. If they can beat the Wild then they may make some serious noise in this PO run. They deffinitly have the talent to win it all but it is their inexperience that makes me doubt them this year.

 

[Marty Party]

Wild in four. Easy.

 

[tntkid]

I can't wait until the Jets play Nashville.

We will see what comes easy then.

Wild in four. Easy.

 

[Jets2point0]

This will be an absolute bloodbath

 

[Eternal Leaf]

I'm leaning towards Jets in 6/7.

With Suter, this could have been incredibly tight.

 

[kittiecarlyle]

I hope we win.

Yes ... Just Win Baby ...

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Wild in 7. Everyone on D will step up in the absence of Suter.

 

[Mr Positive]

idk. No Suter? Imo Jets in 5

 

[OVO16]

Someone needs to get the official Playoff thread going on the Main Board

 

[cleveland408]

Without Suter I don't see how the Wild win this. Jets in 5.

 

[Markus250]

Jets have won 10 of the last 11, have home ice advantage and a great home record. I don’t think Minnesota is a push over but I don’t see them winning this unless Hellebuyck gets injured. He’s won over 2/3 of his starts and the other goalies have been bad and/or injury prone all season. Would have been a close series if Suter hadn’t got injured.

What real depth looks like.

Winnipeg has won 2 NHL playoff series since 1979. Our football team plays in an 8 team league and hasn't won since 1990.

Any Jets fan who gets cocky and thinks we are going to stomp the Wild is completely out of their minds or they are 12. We are playing with house money here, in my opinion. Win = amazing. Lose = totally expected.

 

[Ainec]

Winnipeg is the clear favourite but Minnesota can win this series even without Suter

Yes the since 1975 comment is accurate but if you bring that up you have to also bring up the long long extended hiatus.

Football has ZERO to do with this, and no we are not playing with house money nor is losing totally expected.

Oh right, we are so good at losing, we even managed to lose our NHL team for 16 years! That is a good point.

Seriously, sports fan in this town have had their hearts ripped out of them every year for almost 30 years. Do you even Winnipeg?
