Each Monday during the NHL playoffs, Rob Mixer takes a look at the biggest storylines from the hockey week that was. Lets get this out of the way I was wrong. Dead wrong.A week ago, that Marco Estrada Jersey the Jets were the premier challenger to the Golden Knights miracle run. That, and a surprise entrant into the final four of the postseason, the Golden Knights were up against a team that was too deep and too skilled.Plot twist: The roles were actually reversed.GOLDEN STANDARD The Golden Knights were too much for the Jets.And, despite dropping Game 1 of the Western Conference finalslast week at Bell MTS Place, the Golden Knights bounced back and won four straight games to eliminate the Jets. Yes, the same Jets that many thought were built to win the Stanley Cup this year, with three legitimate scoring lines, a dynamic defense and a top-flight goaltender.Crazy enough,you could apply that same description to Vegas.Jonathan Marche sault, Reilly Smith and William Karl son have been the NHLs most dangerous line in the playoffs. Alex Dalton Pompey Jersey Tuch has been scoring goals, Erik Haula and James Neal have been excellent secondary offense, and fourth-liner Ryan Reaves .Marc-Andre Fleurys , and a great example was his lightning-quick save on Dustin Byfuglien in the third period. Joel Armia was tangled up with a Vegas defenseman but was able to backhand a pa s acro s the zone, where Byfuglien jumped in for a quick half-slapper in hopes hed catch Fleury by surprise.MORE: Nope. Fleury was ready and square, absorbing Byfugliens bomb in hisKnights logo. Byfguliens look, caught by NBCs cameras, was one of bewilderment an expre sion that said enough without actually saying anything at all.Blake Wheeler, captain of the Jets, said it was just Vegas year. Ill buy that.But lets not overlook this Winnipeg didnt help its cause with some early sloppine s in an elimination game. The Jets turned the puck over, werent crisp in the neutral zone and gave up plenty of chances before Tuch jumped on a Russell Martin Jersey loose puck in the slot and beat Connor Hellebuyck early in the first period, making it 1-0 for the Golden Knights.With his 24 saves at 5v5 today, Fleurys 5v5 sv% stayed at .960. Vegas still by far with the highest mark in the Behind the Net Era for any team to reach the Cup Final, 10 points better than 2011 Boston Evan Sporer (@ev_sporer) The Jets answered, of course, but Reaves goal was the difference. Fleury shut it down again, the Golden Knights played their typical lightning-fast game in the defensive zone (which enables them to get going in transition quicker than any team weve seen this season) and frustrated the Jets, who couldnt muster a second goal with their season on the line.MORE: Reminder: This an expansion team were talking about.A team that, at this point a year ago, didnt have Josh Donaldson Jersey a roster.On the other hand, though, what a gut-punch for Winnipeg.Anyways, to Winnipeg. Hard not to love the entire roster. How much of this do you just punt to next year? Is all of it an acceptable answer? Because I think that's my answer. Travis Yost (@travisyost) They had a roster that hadevery opportunity to win the Stanley Cup, and many pegged them (pun intended) as a favorite. Aaron Sanchez Jersey Rightfully so, too. But these Golden Knights are authoring one of the weirdest, most exciting and surprising sports stories of our lifetimes and theyre four wins away from a Stanley Cup championship in their inaugural season.All I keep thinking during this run is I feel bad for the first head coach in Seattle.
