I think the Oilers were nervous to start. My guess is the play in series was the reason because all they have heard is that series. Hell, how many fans after 1 game brought it up? They were the better team, they know it. I don't see the Jets shutting down McD and Leon 2 games in a row. They got a game under them, got the yips out. I know Hellebuyck is a damn good goalie, but I heard the goalie guest on Gregors show who does a ton of goalie stats say the Jets are one of the teams that relies on their goalie the most in the NHL. So you are asking your goalie to damn near be perfect every game. That's not sustainable.

Wish I had your confidence RD, maybe I'm drawing too many conclusions using the play in series as the template. Tonight will certainly show what this team is.

I don't think you are alone. I think a lot of fans are overly nervous and put a lot of stock in that play in series.
Think about this.
Canucks, Flames, Blue Jackets, Stars, Flyers, Coyotes and BlackHawks all made the playoffs last year. I don't mean the play ins, I mean they made the round of 16. I don't think any of those teams were even close this year. We are talking almost 50% of last years playoffs teams not even close this year. So in my opinion, I do not think people should be putting a lot of stock into that play in series. It was a bizarre situation.

It was a bizarre set of circumstances last year, but that doesn't make it meaningless. As bad as the Black Hawks were last year and this year they still managed to handle the Oilers with relative ease in a playoff series. That's not the end of the world, but it's also not a good sign. Should that happen again, even if there's a good reason for it, the signs start becoming very negative.
That being said, they outplayed Winnipeg in game one and lost by one goal (I don't care about ENs) in the least impactful game of the series. I don't see much value in worrying now.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
