Whatever, his additional comments came off to me as being a sore winner. As for the OP no I don't think it was the closest sweep ever and I can concede that the Ducks carried the balance of the play for the majority of the games. However the Jets carried the lead for the majority of the series but were never able to get that one extra goal to get that 2 goal cushion. The Ducks were the better team and were full value for their win but at the risk of being called a sore loser, I will say that the Jets had significant injuries that may not have changed the outcome of the series but maybe a couple of the games.
Okay now will come all the 'don't use injuries as an excuse' or 'all teams have injuries' retorts. But I don't care not using it as an excuse but a reason why some of the Jets players were not at their best.
Anyway, over this now and moving on. Ducks fans should focus on the Calgary Flames now anyway, no need to be distracted by Jets fans anymore. However if the Flames manage to upset the Ducks can't guarantee I won't come back and rub the salt into some of the Ducks fans that were rubbing it in when this first series was over.
I'm pretty sure the teams were tied for the majority of the series.
And no, injuries are certainly not an excuse. Anaheim is dealing with their own injuries too.
