The Minnesota Wild have drawn the Winnipeg Jets in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is a match-up that should excite the State of Hockey, given that Winnipeg-Minnesota is a potential rivalry that’s been mostly untapped since the Jets moved from Atlanta to Canada.
The post-season is where rivalries are truly born, and we should expect to see an intense match-up between these two teams. But who should we expect to win? Here’s my best case for a Winnipeg series victory. If you’re upset by this, rest assured that we’ll make a case for a Minnesota victory tomorrow.
