Would love to see the Jets spank the fLames in 4 to open the playoffs. Few things would bring me greater joy. 

Even better would be a gentleman’s sweep like the Avs did to us last year. Give them hope then squash it into many pieces.

Honestly, I'd love for them to continue being #9thForLife and continue to get crappy draft picks and still accomplishing nothing each year... But I could settle for the Jets crushing their hopes and dreams.

Jets vs Minnesota would be my preferred round 1 match up. 
 

Colorado vs Dallas also round 1.

From the Winnipeg Sun:

“We’ve always said how unique it would be to have a winner here in Winnipeg,” DeMelo said. “Everybody doubts us. It would be great to stick it to everybody else that we can be a winner here in a market that people don’t think we can do it in.” DeMelo

Sweets words Mr. DeMelo.
