What does everyone think of the match ups? Who do you will take home the cup?
Winnipeg Jets vs the Ducks in the first round is going to be interesting. Most people think the Ducks are going to take it, but I'm not so sure. Yes, in the three previous matchups, the Ducks beat the Jets, but two of those games were quite close. Both teams are also not the same teams that went up against each other, as both has made key trades since then. There's also the fact that the Jets are incredibly hot right now. They had one of the toughest schedules down the stretch and they just excelled at it. It doesn't hurt at all that Pavelec is currently pretending to be a brick wall, with three straight shutouts in regulation time. I wouldn't be surprised to see them make it to round 2 or even 3, even though they're considered the underdogs.
Another matchup I find interesting, assuming they both make it both past the first round, would be in round 2 with the Rangers vs the Islanders. This is due purely to it being "The Battle of New York" in my mind though.
