It’s official: The Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers will meet in the first round of the playoffs starting next week. Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons and columnist Mike McIntyre break down how we (finally) got here and share their early thoughts on the battle of the former Smythe Division rivals. They also discuss whether the injured Nikolaj Ehlers could be the team’s MVP and what needs to improve for a slumping Winnipeg squad that will need to keep Connor McDavid in check to have any chance. They also discuss Steve’s big new purchase, Mike’s golf game, the census and speeding tickets.
