Don't count the Av's out - the Avalanche was the team I feared the Jet's having to play "the most" in the 1st round. I watched them come back from a goal down in the 3rd period to beat Nashville tonight.
This Colorado team should not be overlooked, and I would not be surprised if they come back and beat the Preds. All games between the Avs and Jets this year were decided by 1 goal -- so people shouldn't take the Avalanche lightly.
Odds favor Nashville, but if the Avs win the next game in Colorado, and tie the series up, and bring game 7 back to Nashville anything can happen --so our next opponent could be Colorado ???
That Colorado team with McKinnon is a very fast team like the Jets, and are just a couple of players away from being a formidable contender to win. I do expect this series to go 7 games, and the Preds to win--but you never know ??
Either way it will be good for the Jets to face a banged up team.
