I'm not seeing the Leafs anywhere in the poll options. What happened?

[Shift Disturber]

I was in no way prepared for this series.

Jets have the forwards and goaltending. Habs have the defence and goaltending. Who wins depends on how effective the Habs defence and goaltending is and how effective the Jets 4 lines are, their top-end talent, and how hot Hellebuyck is. If they get the first round Bucky, it will come down to who's offence can beat down on the goalie the best. This will be a series determined by goaltending.

Habs can also do a dent with their forwards... while they aren't as good or as effective as the Jets offence, they can still hurt you.

[Eli26]

Not my finest post, but yeah, we'll just go with that. lol

Jets are also bigger. So they can use the size up front to take advantage.

Jets in 6.

[Feenom]

Jets in 6.

Yes

[Axeman33]

Jets in five.

I think Montreal just blew it's emotional load.

[berni67]

Helly or Price the best goalie in this matchup?

[Daydream Nation]

Winnipeg in 6

[C4RL]

Fatigue may catch up Montreal, but I am a believer... Habs in 7.


Either way, the winner will play against Colorado, and that will end.

I had the Jets representing the North in my Bracket Challenge so I’ll stick with them. It’ll take 6 games.

Congratulations to the Habs fans in here, well deserved.

[doulos]

I chose Jets in 4.

[Shift Disturber]

Jets in 6, I guess.

[PenguinHunter]

Jets in 5 is my vote.

Montreal is coming off an emotional series and I think Winnipeg will come in firing after a long rest.
