FOG BLOG SPORTS LOG: WINNIPEG JETS , UNDERDOGS IN THE SERIES WIN AND MOVE ON !

Jets rewrite playoff history vs. Oilers with series sweep in first round....he stage was set and the props were out in full force — even if they weren’t brought into the building. Although fans aren’t allowed in Canada during the pandemic, a parade of vehicles circled around Bell MTS Place hours before puck drop, with plenty of fans waving brooms out the windows as horns honked wildly. With one more victory, the Winnipeg Jets would have the opportunity to celebrate something that hadn’t happened since the final season of the World Hockey Association. Yes, the history is a bit complicated when it comes to the 2.0 version of the Jets, but many fans in friendly Manitoba haven’t forgotten the dominance of those dynastic Oilers teams of the 1980s and 90s. And while this was officially the first meeting between the Smythe Division rivals, folks of a certain vintage around these parts still have some emotional scar tissue to sort through.
