They can't fly on game day. Against Cba rules.

Sounds like game 3 will be delayed?

Where you hear that?

What is considered game day because teams flew into Winnipeg after midnight to play the Jets that day

 

[HPsauce]

Where you hear that?

That was a question.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Unforeseen circumstances such as weather and mechanical issues that cause delays are allowed exceptions.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Do you just make things up? Lots of ice.

Fishing Reports - Outdoornews

Read through it. Conditions have improved since last week.

"Shoreline conditions have improved from a week ago, locking back up, and allowing people to get out."

I've got some fishermen in the family & one of my best friends is a master angler. Came up over dinner last week that the season was over.

I'd have assumed conditions would be even warmer south of us on smaller lakes.

For the record I'm not of a fisherman & have never ice fished. Once a year I'll take a stab at it during the summer in the Whiteshell in the Clearwater Bay area, mostly on Granite Lake. Over the past decade I've reeled in two bass which I've released & a single pickerel which we had for dinner.

If I'm with family, the men all take a separate boat & leave me with the girls as I have a penchant for snagging lines.

Lets go coach Maurice and Huddy.

Its your time to shine in game 3.
You have the hoarses make sure you don't get out think by Boudrea.
Jets need to bury the Wilds here.
3 zip is waaàaaay beter than 2-1.

GO JETS GO.

Looks like they've decided to spend the night in Winnipeg

Well that was a wasted travel day. Now what, early morning flight?

 

[stranger]

How many jets fans can we expect in the building?

No less than 5,000....if it weren't for the weather. Who knows now.

(Jet fan living in Mpls...have gone to nearly every Jet game here)

 

[JetsFan815]

I think the game might get canceled. Read on twitter that the runways are not going to be open till 9pm local time at the earliest and there is likely a huge backlog of planes waiting considering the airport has been closed all day and how busy the MSP airport is.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Well that was a wasted travel day. Now what, early morning flight?

They could adopt a training camp schedule and have a game day morning skate at the iceplex before travelling and heading right to the afternoon nap time.

Dammit I don't like this...no sir don't like it at all.

 

[Gurilla]

Even though it's a short flight I wonder if flying in on game day gives the Wild an edge.

 

[TheDeuce]

Buff probably knows a lake around there that he could take the boys out for a nice leisurely afternoon of ice fishing.

Superior?

Nah, just OK.

Ba dah bump.

They have to drive to the game. That could also be a bit of an adventure

With it being such a short flight, I'm surprised they left in the first place without being assured they could land.

It's only an hour in the air to Minneapolis. The storm must have really picked up. Anyone know when the last flight in landed before the airport closed?

Flights were still arriving when they left. Conditions changed enroute.

Good thing the Jets are clearly the superior team, otherwise these developments might be worrisome

 

[bustamente]

They made the right call coming back from Duluth but in hindsight they should of left much earlier in the morning since they had information of the upcoming storm. Lets see what time they actually get to Minneapolis tomorrow and what shape St. Pauls is in to host a game.

 

[notwolfy]

Too bad the Wild didn't stay in Winnipeg, they could have played the game there.

 

[Repoman]

Pretty sure you cannot change plans mid flight due to customs. They would have had to carry on to MSP or return to YWG.

They actually landed in Duluth. When the Jets leave for a US destination they use the terminal and clear US customs at YWG airport.

However tomorrow turns out regarding the game, as long as the team makes the safest choices and stays out of any remotely dangerous situation I won’t be upset.
