Nothing ever happens in the world now without the masses taking to social media to comment on it and playoff hockey is no different.
Last night as soon as the Nashville Predators win over the Colorado Avalanche in game six made everything official for a second round date with the Winnipeg Jets, everyone had to chime in and have their say.
Official words…
NASHVILLE WEATHER ADVISORY: A storm is on its way. ☁✈☁ #WPGWhiteout
Weather nerds though quickly noticed a slight flaw…
I think we found a Neil deGrasse Tyson burner account.
Of course we had our own tweet as well…
"A new challenger approaches!" #WPGWhiteout
We’ve since been told it’s not *that* kind of Predator which totally makes our reaching out to Arnold Schwarzenegger pointless now.
The Experts Chime In…
Absolutely pumped to be covering what should be a titanic Jets-Predators second-round series. Has the potential to be the best playoff series played this spring.
A common theme / thought started popping up though whenever anyone talked about these two teams meeting now in the second round as opposed to later in the playoffs:
Biron: Jets vs. Predators is 'the Stanley Cup final about a month too early'. WATCH: tsn.ca/video/biron-je…
It's the matchup hockey fans have been waiting for. The Hockey Central panel tees up what should be an epic series between the #NHLJets and #Preds. sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/bre…
The Local Takes…
You all asked for Nashville, we got Nashville. Let’s do this hockey! #NHLJets
Nashville flight and hotel booked. Bring on the second round for what should be a great series. Looking forward to continuing being part of our extensive #NHLJets playoff team coverage at @WinnipegNews. Like the weather, we're just getting warmed up!
Oh hey, speaking of travel… Nashville is a slight bit farther away from Winnipeg than Saint Paul was, but Bartley had your route all figured out for you..
Poetically, the fastest way to get from Winnipeg to Nashville involves driving through Minnesota. #nhljets
Others have already figured out travel, they just needed to figure out tickets to the actual game…
Booked my flight to Winnipeg. Now all that's left is a ticket to an @NHLJets game for game 3 or 4 and we're set! #WPGWhiteout
It’s Gonna Go Seven
Everyone has pretty much assumed this series will go all the way to seven, but of course leave it to Mr. Randy Turner to be very detailed in just how that final game will go:
My prediction for #NHLJets-Preds series: They will play 7 games. All will go into OT. They will play total of 358 periods and score 114 goals. The series will end in 32nd overtime of Game 7 when Wheeler, the only player left standing on both teams, scores into empty net.
Huge, if true.
