Only way the Oilers are a first round match-up is if they utterly collapse and either Calgary or Vancouver pass them for third in the division. This also assumes St. Louis misses the playoffs.

So what do people think is the best first round opponent scenario for the Jets? Right now I would rank them as follows: 1. Minnesota falls to 8th behind St Louis and we meet them as the #1 seed - if Kaprizov comes back that may change my view, but I think this is our best match-up and easiest travel load 2. Calgary - they can’t score much, only X factor is Dustin Wolf on net stealing a game or two. 3. Vancouver - Demko’s return changes things a bit, and they have always had more talent than they have shown, but it would be surprising if they played this badly and had so many psychological issues all year to suddenly shrug them off in the playoffs and be a threat again. 4. St. Louis - I think we can take them, but they are on a roll like they weee in 2019 and I don’t wish to repeat that first round match-up if we can avoid it. 5. We fall to second and face Dallas who fall to third- would suck to blow the division lead now and have to run the gauntlet of Stars - Avalanche in two rounds 6.We finish 2nd and face the Avs, I think we have a better teams but they have the better stars who can dominate for one round. Thoughts?

Good job by the Jets to let Schenn go home for a day or two.

Correct. Also, the first tiebreaker if they finish tied on points at season’s end is regulation wins. With the Jets having gone to overtime in their last two wins, Washington now leads that category 39 to 38. The regulation and overtime wins total is next tiebreaker, then total wins of any kind. Jest lead in those two categories. Head-to-head results is the 5th tiebreaker so the Jets win in Washington is pretty irrelevant at this point.

Time to pull Hellebuyck. His one annual stinker is tonight apparently.

Barron on the third line now as they try to shake it up. And DeMelo back on after being knocked down earlier.

Jets penalty kill has not been aggressive enough of late. Teams just moving it around until they get their lane.

Edit. Wrong thread.

I am watching from Falcon Lake, but I’ve never had that message out here before. Shaw satellite, Jets’ broadcast. Weird because Vancouver is a Sportsnet team.

Yep, TSN 3. Can see the game underneath it, but the entire upper left quadrant has the sign in grey (like watching the game through a heavy mosquito net).

Very loud “True North” chant in the enemy barn. Is anyone else getting a “regional viewing” notification on their tv screen over the video feed?
