Five early morning takes after a late night watching the Anaheim Ducks take a 1-zip lead over the Winnipeg Jets in the opener of their Stanley Cup playoff series...
1. The Jets were far from awful in Game 1, but when it mattered most penalties proved costly and the Ducks' big guns – namely Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf – blasted away to be the difference makers, teaming up for three goals and seven points (Perry: 2G, 2A; Getzlaf: 1G 2A).
That was one of the storylines heading into the series for the Jets – could they limit the damage of the two superstars – and, fact is, they get an ‘F’ for their work in the opener.
