Who would be the Jets' ideal 1st round opponent?

[HannuJ]

If the standings hold relatively steady, the Jets are playing against the Kings, Sharks or Stars.

Just wondering who you'd think would be the ideal match-up?

Kings? Jets would beat handily.
Same with Stars, IMO.
The Sharks would be a tough-as-nails series and would be close.

I know who I wouldn't want to play:

Nashville
Colorado w/ a healthy McKinnon
Ducks

 

[antiqueslivers]

I"d prefer to face the blues, stars, LA, Minn, Calgary, san jose, ducks, VGK then nashville

 

[Howard Chuck]

We've done pretty well against all of the above, while we were missing at least our #1C.

I think if healthy, we can beat anyone. I really go back and forth about playing someone easier first to get more playoff wins/games, and playing someone difficult to get them over with.

Not sure why you think the Sharks and Kings are likely playoff opponents. Statistically we have a better chance of facing the Blackhawks than any Pacific team. (SJ 2% LAK 3%)

eh. Chicago's currently not in a playoff spot. but since it's all a hypothetical, you're welcome to bring up any team you so desire to bring up

No worries, just pointing out our most likely opponents would be the central teams. St. Louis being the highest probability. We're technically second in the central in terms of points .pct

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Blues (I like how we match up with them)

Anybody but NSH

NSH

 

[DashingDane]

Give me the Ducks or Kings! I want to watch Jets playoff hockey live!

 

[St3]

Hoping for the Stars. I could be mistaken, but it seems like we always have their number.

 

[SoupaTroupa]

I'd like to play the Blues or the Stars.

I would NOT like to play Nashville.

 

[HPsauce]

I have a feeling we will see St.Louis, which would be a great series.

Or Dallas, which would be awesome too.

Thinking back to all those games against these teams and I think we've played some of the most exciting games against those two, very chippy games too.

I would love to sweep Anaheim. I still despise them from our last playoff.

 

[White Out 902]

I'd love to knockoff the ducks

 

[Aavco Cup]

I'd lovello knocokof the ducks

They seem to be knocking themselves out. Had a players meeting today

 

[MoreMorrissey]

Round 1: Sweep the ducks
Round 2: Beat the stars with Laine getting his usual hat trick against them in each game
Round 3: Beat the preds because screw the preds
Final: Bring the cup west again

Is this even possible? To play the Preds in round 3 one of us needs to be a wild card team and win the Pacific

 

[Daximus]

Playing the ducks in the 1st round would be exciting and scary. On the one hand if we win we get to sock it to em. If we lose and especially if we get swept again that would be the most embarrassing lose we could have really.

Yeah that is a very unlikely scenario. I think it's most likely we play the Blues in the first round as the 2nd place team in Central.

 

[ATLbound]

I want the Blues. Always good, physical tight games. And I like our chances espically with home ice. That can get us ready for the Preds in round 2. Not to sound too cocky. Maybe the Preds will even get upset. I know the WC teams are still very good teams. So for round 1 I would say Blues or Stars IMO. We have to beat the best anyways, but with minimal playoff expierence I don't want the very best round 1

 

[Asiantuntija]

Leafs !

 

[TheDeuce]

Leafs !

That'd be the Really Wild Card.


FWIW I'd like to see the Stars in the first round and the Blues in the second round, and LA in the third round but I don't like thinking too much about it. We aren't guaranteed anything yet, not even a playoff spot, so I'm trying to stay grounded.

[StiffSquid]

Phoenix.

 

[Tommigun]

Of the probable ones, Stars. Then Blues. Definitely not Nashville or Knights.

If that actually happened I think we’d go to the finals.

St Louis - Lack of many thing

Dallas - Poor mans Jets but older
