NHL-ers arrival at Sochi

[TML FTW*]

So are all players going in the same plane? Or each nations players in one? westcoast players in their own? Some players in private jets?

Lots of questions.......... ^_^

I guess you didn't read even one post in this thread.

They are on a bunch of flights. I think 3 from Newark and 1 from Atlanta. On page 2 you'll find the links to the flight paths of each plane so you can track their progress.

From the Wild board. Wild Olympians Parise, Niederreiter, Suter and Granlund and their ride to Sochi. Owner Craig Leipold's private jet?

That's probably their flight to either Newark or Atlanta to meet up with the "big plane" they'll be taking. They won't be going all the way to Sochi in that, just the 4 of them.

Are there any players live tweeting on the flight.

It is a 10hr. flight

I think this is the 3rd Newark charter:

That's the one the Blues players are on.
United 1810

I think Duchene was on the second one that left at 3:30 eastern.

I would think that families are on their own and have to fly commercial but that's just a guess.

I'm 99% sure that, on TSN, they mentioned 4 planes for NHL staff/players/families.

Should turn this into an NHL'ers off-ice at the Olympics thread. Will probably be lots of pics/articles.

That's great, must be much easier to have families with them.

Who is the guy in the backround of the Blues one? Looks like Ray Emery although I know its not him.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure most players and their families are traveling together. I know Ryan Miller, his wife, and his dad were on the flight together (he tweeted a pic from the plane).

Here are all 4 of the charters (courtesy of https://twitter.com/GOHABSdotCOM)

Looks like the first one lands in two hours. Man I wish they did a 24/7 behind-the-scenes kind of thing on these flights. I'm sure we'd get some great moments between the players.

Right? How many pranks are going to be or was pulled on these flights. I would love to see em!

Maybe on NHL Revealed?

It would be awesome, but I doubt it. That's probably only for NHL games. I'm sure there were players who've had beef with each other on the same plane. I wanna hear some stories...

The first two charters from Newark have landed. The third charter from Newark and the charter from Atlanta are still en route.

There is a 2 hour "NHL Revealed" scheduled on February 27th. You have to think they also went to the Olympics and will produce something especially since how much Olympic talk has been on the show... otherwise, what are they going to show that day?

"At Sochi Airport, where Sidney Crosby just walked out of the terminal followed immediately by Ryan Miller. TOO SOON. #Sochi2014"

Crosby & Miller on the same flight. Shocker.

Hm, didn't see that. You could be right. That would be fantastic.
