STOLE THIS from another board as I thought the insight was above average:
"Will be a tough game, and a defining one for the Ward era. Will the team be ready to match Winnipeg’s intensity, you know Maurice has them wounded up. It will also be interesting to see what adjustments the Jets make. Last game the Jets tried to carry the puck into the offensive zone alot, I suspect this game you will see more dump ins, with a focus on trying to pound the Flames D. This is what we did to them last game. The Jets tried to slow this down with some picks and interference, they only had two penalties against for interference. They could have had a few more. Curious how the refs will call it if we start doing the same thing.
If the Jets do dump with a heavy forecheck Ward will have to adjust by bring his centres lower as the Flames D won’t have time to turn up ice, just time for a quick chip."
