Series Discussion: WCSF - Jets vs. Predators - Jets win series 4-3

[nobody important]

Yeah was one of those things where I nabbed tickets over a month ago hoping no playoff game would happen on that day.

Go to movie. PVR the game for later viewing. Do not use Stop Recording at Scheduled Time in your settings.

One jerk fan from one fanbase said something rude on the main boards. Then another jerk from the other fanbase wrote something pissy back. Then a few more jerks piled on. Then, because of a half dozen people who said some rude things about each others team/city/jersey/whatever, everyone else on HFBoards figures the entire city of {City A / City B} are filled with monstrous asshats, and amp up to start WWIII.

The internet is great!

Edited to encompass every main board thread on HF.

I see at least twice as much hate the other way. Go read their forum if you don't believe me.

Maybe the little dude is onto something.

What are the rumors..... Is game 3 &4 likely to be Tuesday-Thursday or Wednesday-Friday

 

[buggs]

When you have a healthy growing fanbase like Nashville with a good competitive team, you want to expose as many local fans to the product as possible. It just makes good business sense.

LOL, yeah, that's the reason they're doing the restricted sales. I couldn't care less and yeah, it's not an uncommon practice. So we have a well established southern market that you intone Canadians condescendingly look down upon yet they need to protect the market because too many tickets are available to games and subsequently they have to keep the foreigners out? One of these things is not like the other...

But I am chuckling at the notion the Jets are somehow restricting access to tickets. By what, having too small an arena or a dedicated season ticket group? Otherwise tickets are openly available via ticketmaster, no geographic restrictions.

Almost guaranteed to be Tuesday Thursday. Bridgestone is booked on May 6 so Game 5 would almost certainly be Saturday May 5.

Start times are probably dependant on whether or not Leafs advances, plus the impact of the NBA playoffs since Raptors Celtics & Wizards are all still alive.

 

[BobEssensa]

Who cares why their fans hate us? And do we really need to justify our dislike of their fanbase? Screw the Preds, and f*** their fans too. Let's go!!

 

[Jet]

No I'm saying you are painting everyone with too wide a brush. I think you are only talking about a small minority and it's unfair to lump everyone in with your rant.

I also don't believe Jets fans hate Preds fans as you claimed. I see at least twice as much hate the other way. Go read their forum if you don't believe me.

Their forum does not = their fan base.

I never equate a team's fan base with their forum members here because I don't feel like it accurately aligns.

I am talking about what I've been seeing on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Anywho, it's my opinion and just what I've seen.

 

[Robinson2187]

Nashville fans are an angry bunch, why can’t we all just get along?

Most notably that "Gnashville" character. His handle is very appropriate

Thats a great point. Totally true.

And I disagree. There are bad apples everywhere. And please don't judge society using twitter as a measuring point.

Winnipeg is not particularly bad IMO. Others are far far worse include the Predators

LOL says don't judge yadda yadda, and then next sentence "others are far far worse include the Predators" . OK, according to what measurement?

I know having a contrary opinion to the majority here opens you up to this but I won't stop giving my opinon, especially when it's based on life experience.

I've been to Nashville many times, and have gone to regular season and playoff games there. I lived in Winnipeg a good chunk of my life. I am saying that the things I hear about Nashville and their fans coming from some Winnipeggers are not based on fact - but flawed memes about the southern hockey markets. I stand by that.

I am also a born and raised Winnipegger that will always proudly call that city my home. If you want to have an open mind and accept that what I am saying might have some truth to it, that's great. If not? *shrugs*

I don't expect anyone to stop giving their opinion here. But don't expect everyone to blindly agree with those opinions. Expect people to voice differences.

Twitter is by far one of the biggest sewers on earth.....that's all I was saying

I have also been to Nashville and love the city. Not sure why that is relevant? I don't hate any hockey fans.

Meh there are uneducated jerks in all fan bases. For the most part I have seen nothing but praise and respect for their fan base in my circles.

Nashville TicketExchange site suggests Game 2 will be on Saturday (i.e. back-to-back with Game 1):

Nashville Predators Tickets 2017-18 | NHL Official Ticket Exchange

Is that correct, or still TBD?

Until announced officially take it with a grain of salt

Probably will be my plan, as long as I can stay in a bubble from when I leave the theatre to home I'll be good! Checking my phone on the other hand...

 

[antiqueslivers]

Go to movie!??? That sounds heretical! Why not got to the movie the day after..... I mean its not a live event or anything. Anywhooo thoroughly enjoying the main boards and triggered nashville posters. I for one am swearing off the whole posting on the teams board but lurking on em and reading their whole "GIT OFF MAH LAWN" type responses to people who are saying good luck and what not is hilarious!

 

[nobody important]

I would do the opposite. If we don't win, I see no point in wasting an hour or so of my time watching something that will just piss me off. On a somewhat related note, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit logo really should be featured at the start of the movie as a warning to viewers.

 

[Gm0ney]

Game 1 against the Wild we were down 2-1 in the 3rd until THE KID sniped one for us

Jets were losing game one against the Wild. That can't be correct.

Game 1 is 53 seconds

Thanks - your brains all work better than mine after midnight! I've corrected the original.

 

[Atoyot]

Haha he seems to be effective, getting Jets Fans off our game

 

[SM]

I heard (2nd hand, albeit) that Jets games will be Tuesday May 1st and Thursday May 3rd from an MTS Centre employee

 

[DarthMonty]

I'll be in Winnipeg starting today, what's a good place to watch the game in St. James?

As mentioned, Underdogs (beer is always super cold, and the food is good, not spectacular), Silver Heights (although the lounge isn't huge, it's friendly and service is always outstanding, plus SH Ribs!), Smitty's at Portage & Westwood (lots on tap, and several pool tables), Boston Pizza at Portage & Moray (decent selection of tap and food, but not outstanding), and One Great City brewpub at Madison Square by Polo Park.

Can't speak for Garbonzo's as we've yet to visit.

 

[ocdaddy]

Silver Heights Restaurant and Lounge. Owner works the bar, has the audio cranked, and is a huge Jets fan.

 

[DarthMonty]

Back to the topic of 1st overall playing 2nd overall in the 2nd round; if Boston beats Toronto tonight, the the 2nd round will also feature 3rd overall playing 4th overall, meaning 2 out of the top 4 overall teams will be out of the postseason after round 2.

Honestly, is there a play-off format involving 16 teams that make everyone happy? Probably not, because there is no system that guarantees the top 2 teams meet in the final series. It is what it is.
