The Winnipeg Jets are in the Western Conference Semifinals. One would think, at 114 points and second overall in the NHL, they would capture home ice. Unfortunately, Nashville was the only team ahead of them in the standings.
This is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for, as fans. For Winnipeg, this might be the ultimate test. This is their version of the Penguins taking on Columbus and Washington before facing… Ottawa in the Conference Final.
Or the year before when they faced Washington and Tampa in the Semis and Conference Final before making the Sharks look like an OHL team.
