WCQF : (7) Winnipeg Jets vs. (1) Anaheim Ducks

[yztheman 29]

well team has (thrashers/jets) lost pieces kane, etc, and lack of skill players or depth an issue...hard for me as a thrash supporter/loser to worry about it...I had my wings before they came, when they came to phillips arena, and after they left lol

of course I like all the other teams to take wear and tear in the playoffs while we sweep but hey only dreams nowadays

next 2 games will tell us about the team

officiating is iffy wings need just to play smart and hard like they did game 3 in game 4

wonder if we can get any good pieces from winny in the offseason?

peace people

I wonder what the cost for myers would be.

Granted, they say they wouldn't have made the playoffs without him, but I don't see them being able to keep all of their giants...

Him or Byfuglien would be nice for the right price.

Howard for for buff or Myers. Git err Dunn Ken

Oooo.

I forgot they don't have a very highly thought of goalie...

I wonder what his contracts like, he could be Petrs back up, along with buff or myers.

Hell I'll even give them Andersson and kindl.

That first ducks goal though

The move is nice, but the back hand above the sliding player is amazing.

Right?! At first glance I thought he shot it one handed, he reached so far..

Poor jets though. I thought they had a good shot.. I don't know if that says more about them or the ducks.

So did I...

It looked like it, either way, brilliant shot.

And I thought their defense was better than it is.

Ducks in 4

Well done.

Bummer that the Jets didn't get a playoff win. Props for them to making it and that fan base showed up until the very last second of those two playoff games. Deserving, hope this is a step in the right direction.

Ducks didn't deserve the sweep but the way their team is compiled, with guys like Kesler, Getzlaf, Perry, then add youth like Rakell, Etem, Beleskey, Gibson, Fowler....frightens me. Glad Wings won't have to play them until potentially later. Quack quack quack

To be honest I think they're happier they won't have to play the Wings potentially until a final. Nothing about that team scares me. One little sniff of adversity and they throw tantrums and fall apart. I don't see them coming out of the West.

I see Chicago over Anaheim in the conference finals. Unfortunately.

Thanks for wasting our time Winnipeg. LA/Anaheim would have been more fun with their history. The league dropped the ball on that one.

How?

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Ducks should be thankful the league didn't suspend Byfuglien for his shove on Perry. He played like hot garbage through much of that series.

The score is tied late in the second period of what's an elimination game for his team, and he abandons his coverage to try and make a hit on Perry, leaving Cogliano with all day to score. That is not how you win playoff games.

[HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878]

Jets are so good...not.

[GMRwings1983 8,794]

How?

Should have rigged it to keep Winnipeg out of the playoffs. Bad for ratings and LA were the defending champs. Winnipeg ended up cockblocking. Or don't you believe in conspiracy theories?

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Jet's can keep their heads high, first playoffs since 19 years down 3 goals in the final game and the fans chant Go Jets Go. Wish I would have been able to watch more of that series but a 4 am starting time here is making that impossible.

Winnipeg needs to fix their goaltending but other than that, they are very well positioned for success Trouba - Myers what a top pairing wow.

Also hats off to the Ducks they've been playing great and Anderssen really came through for them when it mattered, sadly as did Kesler.
