We've got ourselves a battle between #1 and #2 in the entire league!

It so happens that we've seen quite a few battles of 1 vs. 2 in the history of hockey in the city...

1973 Avco World Trophy finals: New England Whalers (1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (2)
RESULT: Whalers win Cup 4-1

1976 Avco World Trophy finals: Houston Aeros (1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (2) (both teams with 106 points, but Aeros with more wins)
RESULT: Jets win Cup 4-0

1977 WHA Western Division Finals: Houston Aeros (1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (2)
RESULT: Jets win series 4-2

1978 Avco Cup Finals: Winnipeg Jets (1) vs. New England Whalers (2)
RESULT: Jets win Cup 4-0

2009 Calder Cup Finals: Manitoba Moose (1) vs. Hershey Bears (2)
RESULT: Bears win Cup 4-2

2018 Western Conference Semifinals: Nashville Predators (1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (2)

Interesting that TSN doesn't jump in until game 3. I wonder why?

Also, so much for my theory that TSN was a driving force behind the venue change so that it could have what it considers a more appropriate setting for its TV coverage.

Grabbed GA for both games with a buddy and was looking forward to the Fleming perch to enjoy the action. I know it gets knocked hard, and rightfully so in terms of junior rinks, but the intimate viewing at Wayne Fleming is something else. I've really enjoyed the games I've gone to there and you cannot beat the price.

That being said, I am very happy for the kids. The CLC is definitely the appropriate stage for a series of this magnitude, and ultimately, the players deserve a proper venue for showcasing the WHL final.

Can't wait for these games!

because we had mentioned it before in this thread, and it looked like it was going to be Wayne Fleming. Then they started selling tickets to Wayne Fleming which obviously not many expected they’d move it a week before the game(s)

I wonder how big a role TSN and the WHL played in this. Probably a lot of pressure on them from those two parties I bet.

(Also, idk if it’s worth it but I’d put something in the thread title so maybe it gets the word out more)

My understanding is the WHL brass played a big role...

what are you talking about? You really believe TNSE has some kind of petty vendetta against a team that is barely on the radar? IF the whl stepped in it was probably to push the Ice ownership into smarter actions.
