That aged well... lol.

Toronto came in 4th Overall. Lol look at their path to the Cup...

We lucked out with this Playoff bracket and potential path to the Finals.

This is one of the best possible outcomes imo.

Im very excited!!!

 

[DharmaBum]

I'm fired up folks, I'm fired up!

 

[flyingkiwi]

LET'S GOOOOOO!

haven't got time to watch any of these games but obligatory Go Jets Go!

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

At the end of the day, Eichel and Stone are easier to stop than Drai and McDavid....I'll take that.

 

[HellebuyckOurSaviour]

Do you think Brossoit will start for them or will they go with the experienced goalie Quick to start game 1? If Bro doesn't start, can't we make a behind the scenes trade (Bro for BSD) lol

 

[HPsauce]

I think LB will be their starter game 1. With a short leash and Quick in and sucking more and still playing until the knight lose the series.

 

[White Out 902]

Any ideas on game 6? If there is one.

 

[Jetsfan79]

Vegas will be a hard opponent. But honestly I'd rather have the Jets see this as a revenge series against Vegas rather than the Oilers seeing this as a revenge series against us.

And yes I know, revenge motivations aside , Noone wants to face the Olers right now

 

[MardyBum]

They have a serious shot to win this series if they can just have average shooting luck and a mid power play.

 

[roccerfeller]

Go jets

Go kings

f*** Vegas, f*** the oilers

 

[Brominator]

Excited! Any schedule yet for games 3 4 and 6?

 

[voyageur]

Well it's almost like being in the Smythe division again, except the road is through Vegas to get to the Oilers or Kings.

Last year Bones and his Stars knocked Vegas out of the playoffs, when the Knights couldn't find a way to get Stone back into their lineup, with all their salaries. This year Vegas can effectively cheat the Cap by bringing Stone back in time...

Still I feel good about this matchup regardless of the season series. Hellebuyck will remember the agony of defeat in 2018, and don't think he'll be staring across the ice again at someone as daunting as Fleury. 4 goalies for the Knights to choose from.

I hope the forwards come ready to play because my one concern would be that the Jets are outmatched on defense.

Still it remains to be seen who can elevate. Jack Eichel's first playoffs, for Blake Wheeler he is near the end of his playoff career.

I'm curious what the start times will be for the Jets at home. Hopefully no 9pm starts.

If this was the Jets of a month ago I would have been doubtful. But the last 6 or 7 games (save the Calgary game) this team has got some mojo back and could be a real dark horse.

This team is legitimately good and I do not think it was an aberration that it was in the top 5 to 10 for the first half. Overcoming midseason adversity is big, but there are some real factors that will determine if we make it:

1. Will 55 and 26 play with heart and show up?
2. What is the extent of Ehlers injury?
3. Playoff PLD has been a thing vs TML a few years ago and that could be a real driver
4. Lowry line peaking at the right time to suffocate VGK top line
5. Is Vezina Helle back?
6. If the team is playing well, and Perfetti comes back, where do you put him?

 

[Jets 31]

Helly vs Brossoit or Quick, yes please. Jets in 6 .

Where to play Perfetti would be a tough question right now, he hasn't played in a long time. I would start him on the 4th line at first. He will help our second PP unit though.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

I worry that without Ehlers, our 2nd line won't have the same chemistry.

Is it wrong of me to think we'll be out in the 1st round?

 

[surixon]

Well I think it depends on Ehlers. If he's out then you slide Cole into his slot. If Fly is good to go then it gets a little tricky.

 

[Jets 31]

Yes i'm assuming Ehlers is in the lineup when i say Perfetti on the 4th line. Although moving Barron up and putting Perfetti on the 4th line at first might be a smart thing to do .

 

[Jets 31]

Goosebumps i tell you, Goosebumps. GO Jets GO.

 

[surixon]

We have some options which is a good thing.

 

[surixon]

A good many of out players should be very motivated to get some pay back against Vegas.

I'm expecting big series from JoMo, Helle, Scheifele, Conner, Lowry amd Ehlers.

 

[Jet]

I'm so excited!

My biggest question mark right now is Connor. He's still really fighting the puck and he needs to score at least every other game for us to have a legitimate chance.

 

[Guffman]

I only worry about Jets player motivation in the playoffs when it is an elimination game for them. In those games, the sweet waft of golf season and getting the royal F out of Winnipeg becomes so intoxicating that the game play becomes horrendous.

 

[kanadalainen]

Very excited to face the Egregious Golden Roasters. Did I pronounce that correctly?




I do hope Ehlers plays in this series, looking forward to Perfecto's contributions.
