The Western Conference leaders came out flat for their playoff opener.
, hosts Tyler Yaremchuk and Frank Seravalli unpacked a wild night of playoff hockey rife with upsets, injuries, and drama. The biggest surprise of the second day of the postseason, though? The Winnipeg Jets road beatdown of the Western Conference leaders, the Vegas Golden Knights.Two other games from last night had identical scores, Frank. 5-1 Rangers, and then later at night, it was 5-1 for the Winnipeg Jets.
The push that the Jets had and really the confidence the Jets had speaks to me. Coming back from those comments that their coach Rick Bowness made with only a few games in the season when he said “if these guys think they’re emptying the tank they’re dreaming.” To think that same team from the eighth-seed absolutely throttles the Knights by 4 on opening night of the playoffs in that environment, in that building, to me it’s a huge surprise.
Trends have actually surprised me as a whole, Tyler. Of the 8 playoff games so far, 6 of them have been won by the road team, and all 4 of the lower-seeds in the Western Conference won Game 1, which is incredible. A lot is happening.
