I'm still plenty nervous. Jets were my pre-playoff cup pick based on regular season. Not just how much they outplayed us in the series but Tiffin had a couple of regular season articles breaking down their top power play, etc. that highlighted how impressive they were. But then of course, they get to the playoffs and completely lay an egg on the road and weren't really even competitive. Granted, that was a Blues team that didn't lose at home in their last 15 games or something but still. I think all together I favor stars slightly and I certainly felt the inverse before the Colorado series. I'm pretty sure I posted here I actually felt better about the Colorado series after losing game 1 as I saw enough there that we flipped the switch from last few weeks of regular season, but I still kind of expected Colorado to pull that series out right up until Miko scored to tie it up and then i knew we were winning.
This is going to be a completely different series though. They don't have the star power but good all around team with suffocating defensive structure and elite goaltending (if he's on). They beat us last game playing conservative, shutting us down and then pouncing on mistakes. If Morrissey is out hopefully that is something we can exploit. Would be huge to get game 1 tonight. I'm leaning slightly towards the Stars but fully expect some swings this series. Our top line is going to need to continue to score but would be great if they got a bit more support starting tonight.
