THIS SERIES will forever be the series that killed me
In game four, Glen Anderson collided with Bob Essensa in the second period which cause Essensa to have a concussion and be out for the game thus spawning Beauregard for the rest of that game and the series. The Jets team that playoff were a grinding type team with role players that scored when it needed too. Hawerchuk of course was the main man along side Steen, Elynuik, Mantha, Boschman, Ellet and Carlyle of the worlds who filled the void. The reaction of Winnipeg after that win was ecstatic, front page news story, local radio and TV stations were all hyped up and glee as we were one game away from FINALLY beating Edmonton in the playoffs...
Well we all knew what happened after that...
I truly believed that the Jets would have made it to the Finals that year, eventually losing to Boston. What if...
Out of all the Jets playoff loses, this stings the hardest...the Vancouver one two years later is second closest.
