I'm pretty sure the Winnipeg Jets are going to wind up facing the West Kendall Platoon in the SHL Challenge Cup Finals. I know that's going out on a limb, but I'm willing to take that stand. That being said, let's look a little more in depth at the coming clash of wannabe champions.

First off, the Jets definitely have the goaltending advantage when comparing between Beaujeux Biscuit and Ahrtom Zhumbayaev (just guessing on that spelling). Mr Biscuit is young and building. I'm sure he will be an absolute stud when all is said and one, but the TPE level just can't quite compare just yet.

The defenses between the two squads are far more even. Finn Kruger, for one, on the Platoon is definitely ready to skate with the big boys. On the other hand, the Jets D corps is starting to show some age around the edges. Big Manius is so old, he farts dust. He's so old he remembers the Alamo from firsthand experience.

The forward on the Jets are another level above anyone else and could end up being the deciding factor in this series. I don't think there is a more talented and deep forwards group in the league.
