Why does the hockey community hate the VGK so much? Go Knights go! 🖤💛🖤💛
I having a feeling the Jets will hold there own, should be a good one GoJetsGo!!
I'm kind of ready for anything in this series, wouldn't be surprised if vegas took 'em out in 4 or 5, but also wouldn't be surprised if the Jets pulled off the upset
I'd love to see the Jets win this series, but I think Vegas wins it in 6.
Jets in 6 or 7 games
Vega sweep, jets confidence was blown out of the water before they squicked in.
Eichel as a non game breaker in Vegas, I would attribute that to a few things. Cassidy has him playing a 200’ game, and most nights he does that pretty well. He has had a rotation of so-so linemates who don’t necessarily belong on the top line, guys who show flashes of brilliance, but aren’t consistent. He has looked his best when Marchessault has gotten hot. He over passes. A lot of guys do that on this team.
The Jets could slap a Vegas team looking past them. Throw your regular season stats out the window. Its playoff time. Goaltending is critical along with who shows up, a little luck and who wants it more. Should be Vegas in 5 but Winnipeg won't make it easy.
I think Vgs got this. Hellebuyck steals two games though, Vgs in 6.
Hellebuyck is the key to this series
Vegas in 6
Go knights go⚔️
As an Avs fan, I dislike the Jets, but I freaking hate Vegas and hope they lose. I absolutely hate Vegas 😆 🤣 😂
Go Knights Go!
Everyone counting vegas out at this rate vegas is the underdogs I'm a VGK fan and I know they're gonna shut people up
Vegas will not lose in the first round.
I was sort of hoping for a West Side Story match up/dance off. You know, Jets vs. Sharks.
Winnipeg hasn't been consistent for months. They will definitely need to play a physical game and their PK will need to continue at a high level. Maybe they win two, but I'd go with Vegas in 6.
It's not often that we anticipate a 1-8 upset.
Vgk wins the cup with 4 losses throughout
This will either be a Vegas Golden Display or a White-Out Success for the Jets
Knights in 4
People sleeping on Dubois here. I really think that Dubois is the biggest X factor in this series. If he shows up big, the jets can get their offence going really quick.
Right up until the Jets clinched I had written them off, I seriously didn't think they would make it to the playoffs. 2 weeks ago I never would have believed it.
With the potential of different round 1 match ups for Vegas. Since the playoff picture was unclear till the end. I wanted them to face the Jets instead of these other teams. Knights in 5 games.
Jets in 7
I like the Jets to pull off the upset here.
Toronto was expected to be no. 1 in the Eastern Conference this season.
knights in 5…jets too broken
I think this one goes to Vegas. Hard to say how many games.. I'll say 6.
Vegas fan and yeah I’m rooting for my boys ❤🎉 should be a great series
Personally, and as someone who does like the Jets, I hope they lose early. If they make another deep run, it will be the excuse to keep Chevy and the core around for another year.
Jets will upset them, never doubt Bowness and a great goalie. Jets have both
I appreciate Vegas lots, but the heart is very Winnipeg in this series.
I think the Jets will give Vegas some fight but Vegas is my pick in 7
Golden Knights in 6. Looking forward to a high-scoring series, hopefully with some chaos for neutrals to enjoy!
This is the arguably the closes from a 1 seed to wild card team matchup. Vegas should win, unless the Winnipeg offense can click and be consistent. That will be the biggest problem for them. Vegas in 7.
As much as I would love an upset, I just don't see this Jets team beating this level of an elite Vegas team
Winnipeg will SWEEP. Yes, Winnipeg in 4.
Let’s go Vegas
Winnipeg wins the series.
Playoffs are a different season and Jets are heating up at the right time. Their speed, size, and goaltending will be the difference! Revenge will be the answer in five!
A underrated part of the series is the hometown factor Vegas has a large part of the roster from WPG and usually guys are fired up to play at home
Anyone except for the JETS.
They hate us cuz they ain’t us…
Go VGK!
This one is hard to pick. I think the big decider is how Mark Scheifele controls the puck. This year when he controls the puck, play and drew players to him, Jets scored a lot. He plays like that, Jets win.
Go jets go
There are a couple interesting things about this series. Goaltending is a big one. Jets coaches know everything about LB’s game and weaknesses. The other is that the Jets lines are very different from what they were even a month ago. Since moving Scheifele to wing, putting Nino with Lowry, and having Barron on the 4th, they have 4 dangerous lines for the first time all year. Vegas is good so that doesn’t mean the Jets will take the series but they do look a lot more like the team that was at the top of the conference midway through the season than the mess they were for January and February.
I think if any series is going to end in an upset it's likely this one. If Hellebuyck is on his game, he alone could steal this series.
