All I'm saying is that if I think you're severely underestimating the Winnipeg Jets. They won their first round in seven games, yes, but they were also hampered with injuries of key players in that series -- and they still won. Two players were still on the injury list last night -- Mark Scheifele and Josh Morrisey. Scheifele has now recovered and will play Wednesday and Josh Morrisey is listed as day-to-day, so they should be firing on all cylinders by Wednesday when Round 2 starts for them.
Of course Jets have a good team. It's Hellebuyck. Not the regular season Hellebuyck. The playoffs Hellebuyck. Jets will be facing teams supposedly better than St. Louis with better offense.

That goal with 1.6 seconds left was exceptional and well executed. It was no fluke.

I picked the Blues to win the series because Hellebuyck leaves his top corners too exposed and it shows in every game. He's been pulled for two of the games. Dallas has better scorers and defense than the Blues do. If the games become physical the Jets have the advantage. If it comes down to the men between the pipes. Both goalies are the same. Stand on their head one game. Shit the bed the next.

This agree with. Hellebuyck has a nasty habit of shitting the bed when the heat gets turned up. I cite the second half of many recent Jets' seasons as examples.

By the way, Florida had 98 pts and Ottawa had 97 pts. To the untrained eye one would think they are the same caliber teams.
