T&C Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 As long as Tampa doesn't make it to the cup I'm good, although I'd like the Jets to win it all after all they've been through in their franchise. Caps winning the cup would be fine here too though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) So. How nice is it in Tampa that Caps fans rocking the RED are not allowed to sit in certain sections and mostly down by the ice. Is that common? I know it isn’t in DC. I see opponents colors by the glass frequently. Edited May 13, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Refs doing the Caps no favors. They called 2 bogus penalties that resulted in 2 Tampa goals 1st intermission.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks for letting me know. He might have changed it or maybe I’m recalling regular season. 2nd intermission begins Caps score 2 in the period. One by a penalty from the goalie for interference. 5 seconds later Caps score taking a 4-2 lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Fine, I'll say it: the Blue Jackets were clearly the second-best team in the Eastern Conference this postseason. And they have a knack for losing to the champs ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted was the first one who understood online ticket sales..and for one of the Penquin series, he instituted the metro zip code nonsense. Of course, it did not work as the majority of Pens fans in the arena were transplants living in the DMV! Never a ban on the gear though..that is getting like the Premier league! 5 minutes ago, ShadyBillsFan said: I'll say one thing.

Lets not forget the Pens were a OT Post away from a game 7..and that might not have gone so well when the ghosts of the Cap Center returned! I dont think this series is over by a mile, although I do think the Caps are the best team left. They look great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The last 2:00 of the 2nd period were soul-crushing for the Bolts. Safe to say game 3 is a must win for TB, but the way the Caps are playing you have to think this series is just about over as I don't see TB going 4-1.

The other thing is last night it took a man advantage for Tampa to score, and in game 1 only 1 one of their goals was full strength. Tampa like the Caps CBJ game 3 is all but a must win. Lose and then you have zero buffer. The streets of DC will be wild and crazy Thursday if the Caps pull off a sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 A case of bad timing: 'Nobody's happy about it': Power outage set for Rossburn, Man., during Jets game Manitoba Hydro has planned a power outage in western Manitoba town from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday CBC News · Posted: May 14, 2018 5:00 AM CT | Last Updated: 5 hours ago People in the town of Rossburn will have no power from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, during the Jets playoff game against the Vegas Golden Knights. (Chris Seto/CBC) 1 comments People in the town of Rossburn, Man., will be cheering on the Winnipeg Jets in the dark Monday night. Manitoba Hydro has scheduled a power outage for maintenance from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — conflicting with Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL's Western Conference final. Extra 10,000 Whiteout Street Party tickets to be released Sunday Winnipeg Jets fans fill downtown for first game of Western Conference finals John Kostecki, who owns the Rossburn Hotel, said a hydro employee put up a bulletin Friday about the outage in the small town 275 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. "First thing that went through my mind was 'What, are they crazy?'" he said. Manitoba Hydro needs to upgrade the substation's transformer and the planned outage notification came May 9, before the Jets beat the Nashville Predators in the second round of the NHL playoffs, a spokesperson said in an email. "Generally, scheduled outages are planned days in advance to make sure staff are available, customers have plenty of advance warning and that it's scheduled for minimum inconvenience," the spokesperson said. Kostecki said he understands the maintenance work needs to be done but the timing is not ideal. "I would rather have hydro fix the problems instead of having an unplanned outage, but they maybe could have done Tuesday," he said, laughing. "Nobody's happy about it." Fire dept. generator will fuel game Over the weekend, Kostecki ran into the town's fire chief and they came up with a solution to the problem. The local fire department has a diesel-powered generator that needs to be run a few times a year and the chief is loaning it to the hotel, he said. "Instead of just burning the diesel for nothing, we decided to wire up our satellite and our TVs in the bar and we're going to watch the game by candlelight and cook hotdogs on the barbecue," he said. The hotel will charge patrons $10 at the door and all proceeds will go to the community's skating rink. Getting on the Winnipeg bandwagon? Vancouver has as Jets win again "We're trying to fix the roof, and put in some new lighting in there, so it's going to a great cause," Kostecki said. The Winnipeg Jets face off against the Vegas Golden Knights at 7 p.m. CT Monday at Bell MTS Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
