What we ended up with was a Whiteout courtesy of the Winnipeg Jets who are in pursuit of Lord Stanley’s Cup. Much to the delight of Jets fans, they dispatched the Minnesota Wild in Round 1. Now, they are in the throes of Round 2 against the Nashville Predators, leading the series 2-1. But hockey wasn’t the only game in town.
