Good luck Blues from this Jets fan…..that’s it from me until the series is over. Hopefully fun series and no injuries.

 

[MessierII]

Either Jets in 4 or blues in 6. Depends which helebyuck shows up

 

[Daximus]

Finally set in stone.

Won't be an easy matchup. Hellebuyck has some demons to slay and the Jets have a lot to prove with this one.

Hoping it's the first stop on a revenge tour for the Jets but the Blues are about the toughest first round matchup we could have gotten after our finish.

Hopefully everyone stays healthy and whichever team wins carries some momentum forward.

 

[Schennanigans]

One of the more interesting series. Jets have a lot of pressure to get something done this year. Will be tough series but I’m gonna say the jets get passed them in 6

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Also, Whoever wins. Let's Promise to wreck Dal/Col/Min/VGK/EDM/LAK

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Jets in 6.

 

[Mobiandi]

It's about that time of year again where Hellebuyck can't stop a beach ball. Jets take game 1 and then drop 4 straight

 

[Zerotonine]

Series completely relies on helleybuch. We already know binnington shows up when it matters....

 

[TheOrganist]

I expect goals will be tough to come by this series at even strength. Special teams could loom large.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Cheering for my Jets of course but Blues fan base here are pretty good folks.

The pressure on WPG is one of the main reasons I preferred facing them vs a veteran laden Vegas team with a lot of Cup experience.

 

[Thallis]

This one could be an upset win for the Blues.

They are not a normal 8 seed.

They're 14-14-4 against playoff teams under Montgomery this season. I'll be surprised if this series goes deep, especially if Holloway isn't back.

We might be missing Ehlers so that might be a wash.

Holloway gives the Blues a second line that can do something. Otherwise it's a 1 line team that you can pummel whenever they're not on the ice.

 

[FlameChampion]

Probably not a very easy match up for the Jets but I think they will prevail. I think Winnipeg struggles with game breaking talent in the playoffs. While St. Louis has a lot of good players, I think they lack the star power.

 

[Daximus]

Ehlers definitely juices our 2nd line as well and PP. He's a zone entry magician so missing him for this series could be a difference maker as well.

Hopefully both team are fully healthy so we can make this a series. It's looking like we could start Sunday so plenty of time to rest up.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This series can go any which way. Jets are juggernauts with a strong defensive game but can be figured out. Blues are able to go on a massive heater but the Jets know how to beat them. Injuries and depth will be critical.
Blues fans eat pizza backwards, so Jets in 6.

 

[Power Surge]

Have Winny in 7 because Saint Louie is playing welly....?......

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Billington vs Hellybucyk.
Like this matchup
Reminder of 4nations cup

 

[Dirty Mind]

It would be a disaster for the Jets franchise to lose in the first round after a President’s Trophy-season for the first time in Jets 1.0 and 2.0 history.

Jets in 5 or 6.

 

[A Real Barn Burner]

Homer vote for the Blues in 7! Hopefully Holloway makes a comeback by Game 4 and changes the series! Jets fans are some of the best people; wish you guys were in a different conference!

 

[roccerfeller]

Jets fan so I gotta go with the Jets.

But blues have been hawt fire since 4 nations break, have a goalie who will stand on his head in big games (and did so vs the Jets in 2019 on their way to a cup win), and have a smart strategic coach in JM

And jets playoff record isn’t exactly one dithered with deep runs or even making a series go the distance outside of 2018.

So yes there are some nerves on my end I must admit.

At least blues fans are a cool bunch

Literally just posted how blues fans are a cool bunch.

Here is a shining example of a cool blues fan!

may whichever team survives this series survives unscathed, hope the schenn boys don't scrap it out.
