Vegas has shown us that a dominant Game 1 win for the Jets means nothing.
I hate how true this is

You're correct, my bad. I thought they repeated for some reason2020-2021 cup winner was the Tampa Bay Lightning, the beat MTL. 2021-2022 cup winner was the Avs, they beat the Lightning. Last year was Vegas

If Jets play their game, they win the series. If they don't and Avs get adequate goaltending, Avs win. Helle being a bit of a wildcard - any goalie can steal a series, Helle should have better odds of achieving that than Avs goalies.I picked Jets in 6. I think if both teams play well the Jets win because they can roll 4 lines and get scoring from the bottom 6.
I love Ehlers too but i wouldn't change any of our lines right now, 7 wins in a row down the stretch to pass Colorado for home ice advantage tells me to just don't fix what ain't broken.The Athletic preview for the series is out. Highlights:
- Stats have it 51% to 49% Avs. Basically a toss up.
- Avs star power and rush game is top tier but the Jets are effective defending the rush.
- Jets odds would likely be better if they made different personnel choices (eg Ehlers on the top line though the 2nd is so good it might not be worth breaking up, also Stanley is a net negative statisically).
- Georgiev sucks.
- Basically it's MacKinnon vs Hellebuyck.

Good because I wouldn’t want to listen to sportsnet broadcast on a Saturday night.SN does not want to broadcast the Jets on a Saturday night.

It's just like playing the Oilers , just hold MacKinnon in check and we are golden.The key for the Jets is going to be to keep our top line and the Pionk pairing away from the MacKinnon line. Having home ice there helps but MacKinnon some times players like 28 mins a game where you can't really match up even at home.

I see a lot of people in the main board threads really looking at the Jets as a huge overachiever in spite of a mediocre roster. It's really clear that there isn't much media coverage of the Jets around the league.
I think there are a lot of people who will be surprised when the Jets show up and present the Avs all, if not more, than they can handle. Bones system is pretty much an ideal setup to defend against super fast, super talented players like McKinnon and Makar. We've seen that in every game between the two this season.
With Makar not quite looking like himself, I suspect he is far from 100%. Rantanen seems to be in the same boat. I think the concussion he took recently has not healed fully and that could become a problem in a series when it gets physical. Hopefully Georgiev plays the way he has last game against the Jets all series (wishful thinking)
From the way the team has been playing the last bit the Jets look really healthy right now and firing on all cylinders.
This series has a lot of the same vibe to me that the Nashville-Winnipeg series did in 2018. Hoping for the same result again.
