Toronto - Winnipeg Stanley Cup Final

[DancesWithWookies]

Just curious what peoples thoughts on this match up would be. Would you be excited to see these two teams compete head to head for the Stanley Cup? Who do you give the edge too?

Because we must be in some parallel dimension, this could actually happen this year. Both teams are pretty great and at the top of the league.

Personally I think it would go 7 and then I don't know could go either way.

Oh also this would be a Stanley Cup Final with no American team. What effect do you think this would have?

This thread won't end well.

Leafs aren't getting by Tampa, and I'm not convinced (yet) that Jets keep a playoff position.

Closet Matthews thread as usual.

Neither team is ready to make the finals this year. Having said that, I like the team with the better D. That would be the Jets. Homer opinion though. GJG!

Well I think we can all be civil can't we? This is the internet after all.

After 34 and 55 the player quality falls off greatly. Next level the usual suspects; Marner, Nylander, Ehlers, Wheeler. Laine headlines the next tier, joining him; Jvr, Little, Bozak, Perrault. Not going to get into the bottom 4 fwds or the dmen. Easy choice: Leafs

Lets see the Jets make the playoffs first.

Yes the Jets need to be like the Leafs first....
Be a playoff team every year and win some
Rounds...... wait?

Lol ^

Finished with the same amount of wins as the Leafs last season with a decimated roster in a tougher decision.

Jets would take this

Would be a fun series.

 

[DancesWithWookies]

So I can see my hopes of a fun discussion have already been dashed on the rocks of juvenile stupidity...

La sigh

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Wow, neither of these teams have won a single playoff round since the 2005-2006 NHL lockout, but they have a solid chance at being the two teams in the SCF. Good to know.

[Brobust]

Yes, it would be a great series. I think it would get really nasty as well.

 

[Atomos2]

Leafs in 5

 

[Future GOAT]

Won't happen, but the Jets would definitely have the edge if it did. Would be a great series to watch.

 

[bigdirty]

Leafs are my team, Jets are my daughter's team, so either the Leafs win and I brag about it for the rest of her life, or the Jets win, and it's off to the orphanage for her.

 

[X66]

The story lines would be great.

Matthews vs Laine
Matthews vs Scheifele
Matthews vs Wheeler
Matthews vs Maurice
Matthews vs Cheveldayoff
Matthews vs Matthews

Hfboards would be a bloodbath.

 

[Alluckks]

Would get horrid viewership numbers

Montreal v.s Edmonton is more realistic
