I really don't see how the Jets are the worst team 5 on 5 when they have better results playing ES (5 on 5) than their opponents.
Especially over the last 20 games when they added De Melo and Eakins and Beaulieu. The only line up change the Jets will have is Adding Lowry in place of Harkins.
Both teams were among the very best in the NHL since the All Star game.
I prefer to think of this series of a battle between 2 good teams that got things sorted out over the season rather than 2 teams that don't deserve to win.
Whoever wins between the Jets and Flames will be a even up match for the next round.

You're looking at results, and I'm talking about how they are playing. The Jets are one of the worst five on five teams in hockey and saved by their goaltender; as I pointed out with their PDO.
Using your last 20 games
xGF%
Flames 12th
Jets 28th
SCF% (Chance splits)
Flames 17th
Jets 26th
High Danger Chance Splits
Flames 7th
Jets 29th
PDO
Flames 11th
Jets 6th
Winnipeg had the third highest save percentage during this time period ... my point from the beginning. Calgary had the 27th ranked save percentage.
It's all about Hallebucyk. The Jets are a mess otherwise.
And I don't see either team as "Good". The Jets are a tire fire and the Flames are a bubble team.
