Calgary is lucky to face the Canucks and vice versa. Whoever wins should hope that their next opponent has had the crap beaten out of them.

The Jets have been playing heavy playoff style for at least the last 20 games.... They have more healthy bodies going into the playoffs than they have had for quite some time.
8 D-men that have put in games of more than 20 minutes in a game in the 2nd half of the season: (top minutes played in a game since Jan 1)
Myers 27:30
Enstrom 27:31
Byfuglien 29:19
Trouba 29:45
Stuart 24:06
Harrison 22:05
Pardy 21:05
Chairot 24:00
These were all important games .
They also have Postma who put in 23:01 in game but is out for the season and Clitsome who played 20:20 his last game on jan 3 before going IR.
10 defensemen with at least 1 game over 20 minutes must be a NHL record.
Their #9 d-man going into the playoffs is Ellerby who played the last game of the season.... He got into 5 playoff games with the King in 2013.
The Jets seem to be a plug and play team.
