Friday’s concluding first round of hockey playoffs was wildly entertaining whether you were inside the Bell MTS Place, outside street party with 15,000 loud chanting fans or at a local bar watching game 5. Winnipeg Jets made history. We defeated Minnesota Wild and secured the best of seven playoff series 4-1 on April 20,2018.
We won the franchise’s first playoff series and this team’s strong motivation was experienced at every game. Each player’s level of confidence was present and as fans we soaked up this victory in True North White fashion. Our city was buzzing with excitement and the energy level from all age groups could be seen and heard from afar. For most of our players, this was their first playoff series. What an incredible accomplishment for them and most importantly, their team.
What’s next? Our Jets require rest and a chance to recover from their injuries. It’s imperative that we move forward and meet the next challenging team with grit and courageous leadership. The Winnipeg fan base is truly a collaborative jubilant collection of people…jammed everywhere for a shared purpose…to witness Jets history unfold together!
