Our most competitive playoff series in recent years was against the Knights. Obviously lot of change in 4 years, but I’m not afraid of the Knights.Would much rather the Jets than Vegas.
The Wild lack of size and physicality stick out in a big way against Vegas often. In the playoffs where the rules change, they cannot get to the front of the net or on the forecheck against a defensive corps with that size and ability where interference doesn’t exist.
The Jets defenders who will be playing doesn’t pose that large of a matchup issue. Yes, they may well get done in by Hellebuyck by himself and the Jets are overall deeper/better than Vegas but we have seen this team struggle with size long enough to know how it’s going to go against a team like Vegas.
Team is firmly an underdog in either matchup.
We’ve lost 7 in a row to the Jets, they are not who we want to play. Not that we’ve been much better against the Knights, but we haven’t been healthy in any of the matchups against them this season.
