Pre-Game Talk: RD1 GM3 - Jets vs Wild - Sun Apr 15 6:00pm CT

Looks like they are diverting to Duluth, Minnesota and will have to drive the remainder to Minneapolis.

 

[CaptainChef]

One thing for sure. If the national media thinks that guys like Scheif, Wheels, Laine and Helly are what makes the Jets tick, Morrissey, Lowry, Connor, Ehlers, Roslovik are blowing their minds.

They won’t do that.

Don't think driving will be anymore pleasant, maybe hunker down fly in the morning

 

[puck stoppa]

Great. They should've left earlier this morning. This throws a wrinkle.

Not ideal but they could always fly tomorrow morning

 

[puck stoppa]

Flying game day stinks. I know it's not far tho. But snow storm mid April? That's wild. Glad it missed us up here.

 

[jokesondee]

This is what i was worried about. Weve got all the momentum now this weather crap. Now your looking at possibly flying in the same day as playing which is far from ideal. Big time jet lag flying 2 days in a row.

I don't think such a short flight would do much. It's only 150 miles.

No time change tho and 50 min flight. May be similar then driving to a morning skate.

 

[bustamente]

They tried to miss the storm by leaving 2 hours earlier then scheduled but were delayed by 40 minutes, hindsight maybe should of left earlier in the morning.

They diverted to Duluth, so it will be more like a 20 minute flight.

 

[jokesondee]

Its slightly over an hour flight

Or last night.

I don't think jet lag will be much of an issue. Used to fly a lot and it really only takes a toll when you make long distant flights over multiple time zones. This is basically a jump from one pond to another in terms of long distance flights.

 

[jokesondee]

Yeah this kinda sucks, would have been much wiser to jump on a plane after the game just to be safe. The severity of the storm has been known for a while.

At least it's not an afternoon game, if they leave early in the morning should be no problem at all.

Yep - I've had longer drives to work when traffic is bad in Toronto. Jet lag is only an issue (at least for me) when crossing time zones.

It's not ideal, but it'll be fine, IMO.

 

[Duke749]

You guys are blowing this out of proportion. It won’t be a big deal.

 

[Swiftt]

Would they maybe try to catch a flight tonight from Duluth? Or is it easier to just leave in the morning?
I’d rather them wake up in the city they are playing in personally.

Yeah it's really not that big of a deal. Unless all our guys have extremely weak stomachs during flying. Which i'm guessing they are much stronger physically than me and I can handle flights pretty much anywhere. NA to Europe is a tough one. They'll be feeling it much more when they head to Finland next year then a quick jump flight to Minny.

They can leave anytime they are cleared to, their plane isn't leaving without them

 

[bustamente]

Minneapolis airport is hoping to re open at 7 pm need one of these for my driveway
