It was stunning how quickly the Winnipeg Jets were disposed of by the Vegas Golden Knights.
I'm not shocked that Vegas won, though I predicted the Jets would win the series. It’s more that it took only five games.
I predicted the battle could be a long one for a couple of reasons, and under those conditions, it doesn’t take much to swing a series like this one way or the other.
My two big concerns were that Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury would continue at the lights-out pace he’d been playing at and that the team might maintain its “play fast” game at such a consistent level.
