ATD #10 - Foster Hewitt Semifinals: Houston Aeros (1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (5)

[Know Your Enemy]

I hinted at this when I made my biggest upset of the draft so far comment in the Toronto/Buffalo series. And I do think Toronto/Buffalo was a bigger upset. But this one shocked me, too, simply because I didn't think that Winnipeg had the necessary guys to play against Taylor and Bentley. (Kenora and KC would have been another series).

Houston had alot to contain as well with Jagr/Ullman and Hawerchuck/Martin. duos that pefectly compliment each other IMO.

Congrats to VanCityLuongo and Evil Speaker. Good series guys.

Can't say I'm not disappointed, but I lost to a good team.

congrats to all gm's for building two very talented teams.

congrats to winnipeg for pulling off a big upset. now it's time to get the trans-canada rolling for the kenora / winnipeg showdown.

Very interesting. Although this one may look like a great upset on paper (going by the seeding), I'm not terribly surprised. Houston certainly could have won this matchup, but I think the 5 seed in the regular season was an injustice to Winnipeg. Jets vs. Thistles in the divisional finals should be a barn-burner.
