If someone has an actual, credible link to cite as a source for saying this happened, feel free to start a new thread and cite said source.

But we're not going to traffic in hearsay especially with a subject as touchy and prone to inciting flames, trolling and other rules violations as this is.

Global News in Canada is reporting it so

Vegas–Winnipeg fan friction as Jets take on Knights in Game 4

If it's true, as a Canadian, I support it. It's sports, things are meant to get dirty.
If a Canadian team did the same to opposing American fans I'd support it as well - as would many more than this scenario, I suspect.

As Ron and Don pointed out - somebody in Knights management told the anthem singer what he did in Game 3 was unacceptable

 

[bring back the jets]

Kinda disrespectful imo. Obviously they're not just going to take it home and keep it but at I wouldn't throw someones flag out right in front of them. That said, who brings a Canada flag to an NHL game lol?

 

[ryerockarola]

That's bs if true. If for whatever reason there's one American flag at the game Sunday take it away. How'd everybody feel about that, throwing an American flag in the garbage. That's a no-no right? Be honest.

Can you imagine the massive outrage if the Winnipeg security threw the American flag in the trash It'll go full political and become a diplomatic crisis lol

I’ve been to 50 plus games at T-Mobile and I’ll say that if any of this was true I’d be very surprised. Like, more surprised than if I woke up with an ear on my forehead.

We’ve got douche fans (5% or so) but I’ve never seen anything everywhere that leads me to believe that the team would ever do anything shitty.

I'm closing this

I reopened it only because a credible Canadian network reported it, but this thread would just become a toxic waste dump.
