Yes, it took seven games for the Winnipeg Jets to reach the Western Conference Finals. But defeating the President’s Trophy winners, not to mention the last WCF champion, is an accomplishment. The Winnipeg Jets are moving on, and they’ll have to face the Vegas Golden Knights.
I’m not certain I expected this to fully happen. I believed in the Jets, sure, but Nashville was such a complete team, it’s hard to comprehend. The Winnipeg Jets are really, really good. Make no mistake. The series went seven games, as I expected. I noted that I believe the NHL’s Stanley Cup champion would come from this series, and I will not back down.
