Winnipeg’s love affair with Jets

Winnipeg lost its NHL team to Arizona following the 1995–96 season. But the Jets returned in 2011 and are now in their first Western Conference final. Winnipeg leads the Golden Knights 1-0 in a best-of-seven series. Game 2 is Monday night, when another whiteout is expected from Winnipeg fans. A four-block party outside Bell MTS Place gets underway hours before the puck drops. And, win or lose, lasts for hours after the game concludes.
