Are the Jets a better Cup pick than the Stars?



The Jets and Stars are the two top teams in the West, and both made some moves to bolster their rosters at the trade deadline. TSN Hockey analyst Martin Biron shares which team he thinks is the bigger threat to win the Stanley Cup after the deadline, and discusses how big of an advantage Winnipeg has in goal.

  1. I prefer jets being the underdog. Let them think they will tank come playoff time. Hellybuyck has been top goalie all year….and the fact that they think he will just collapse when the playoffs start…..I for one can’t imagine. Toronto doesn’t have that great a record in playoffs either but they always get positive reviews. Jets got this!!! GO JETS

    You can keep the defence like this and win a cup. Or you can INSIST on playing Pionk and Stanley. What’s it going to be Jets fans/management? It wasn’t even CLOSE tonight with these D pairs.

  3. Well Marty, Niko fizzled last night…I guess you can hang on your take until next game…and what if they lose them? Will you still hang your hat on the Stars? I really don't understand how Ratinin (misspelled I am sure) didn't do anything in Carolina, and sure he has had two good games against inferior teams, but this does not truly suggest anything…it is too small a sample size to make suggrstions of superiority.The relevant detail here is that the Panthers, Avs, and Stars all made changes to be competitive against a Jets team that has been extremely strong ALL season long. Everyone looked to elite players to add to their lineups….but the common problem with that approach is that chemistry and egos are always central risk issues. Here is where the Jets got it right and found players that impacted the teams defensive game, a place where all of their offense comes from. So last night, Dallas was given a wake-up call, as well as the other top contenders. This is not the same team as last year, the Jets ARE a much much more consistent and dangerous team.

  4. Which team has made back to back Conference finals and which team constantly gets knocked out first round? There should be your answer.
