Looking a lot like its Winnipeg, Toronto, Edmonton, Montreal - how do we matchup?
Would be interested in some statistical matchup analysis if its out there...
Toronto -
weak D but they play their forwards high for support
net front team - always driving to the crease
really lock down the NZ trap when they get a lead
Matchup - tough series for the Jets - so far the Jets have not had answers to the Toronto's NZ; how do we solve this
Edmonton
weak D and driving forwards; really like to open it up
if Edmonton gets momentum, they can spin your head - if they don't, they collapse
McJesus and Drai - always wild cards
Matchup - great for Jets as long as we show up - Lowry has McDavid's number and Jets have done fairly well slowing Edmonton down
Montreal
strong D and speed forwards - great in transition; prefer controlled entries
their forwards also play high in the zone - rebounds and blocked shots end up as 2-1, 3-1 the other way
Price gaining his form
Matchup - tough but doable - Jets D needs to be on their game and physical early with Montreal forwards; this is another team that can get away from you
