Heights bar has extra, staff on and is marking the playoff occasion, tonight with a jet special, well, the Minnesota, wild, boar balls so we they're meatballs of course we.

And, of course Nellie Winnipeg police are getting in on the action tonight as well, actually, yes they actually have a message for fans out there today to be careful, be safe but. Have fun I mean Winnipeg police officers if you notice tonight they are walking around with white caps on to.
Commemorate. The event tonight so they're all walking around with some white special, caps you know to remember the event and just to honor it and just so you know it's a huge deal, to have a police, officer change a part of their uniform they're. Not allowed to do that it took special permission and great community spirit for them to embrace it that much that's right they said they did say that today thank you so much Nellie you're welcome, our Nellie Gonzales reporting live for us tonight now. So Natalie has been talking to the fans I wonder how the players, are feeling. It now now of course they're trained professionals, so are we say they're they're just focusing, on the next game right well, let's check in with Margery Dallas because she's been going through tape on today's skate she might have some intel on this Margery. Well, you're right Janet, both the wild and the Jets took to the ice earlier. Today of course both, teams getting, ready for, Game one which, kicks off tonight Jets, stars Blake, wheeler Patrick line a mark shy flea all stressed, the importance, of sticking to their gameplan Jets. Coach Paul Murray said he expects the wild to play a simple game he. Has coached against wild coach boosts brew drove before Boudreaux. Said he and Murray's know. What to expect from each other the wild coach also said he is very well aware the Jets, are favored, to win this series I'm, sure we know we're, Winnipeg, stands and rightfully. So they what won nine out of ten they're the second second. Overall, in the league and I can see why teams are picking them all but you, know we're here we're gonna play the game and, we're glad we're invited, to play you know so. We'll. Give it our best shot. Game. Two of the series is on Friday starting, at 6:30 then the series will shift to st., Paul for two games Sunday at 6:00 then Tuesday at 7:00 if necessary. Back in Winnipeg on, next. Friday for Game five game six will be on Sunday back, in mini and if it goes to a full seven. Games that game will be played on Wednesday. As I mentioned, coming up I mean we've covered a lot about the Jets but we want to know a little bit about, the Minnesota Wild and I'm going to be talking to reporter, who covers, the wild she, is here in Winnipeg and she's going to give us a little bit of insight, into how the Minnesota, Wild are prepping, for the beginning of this series Janet. Okay. Thanks very much and Marjorie as you mentioned, of course there's, going to be another home, game on Friday, and, every time Winnipeg. Winnipeg. Hosts of a playoff home, game there's, going to be one of these street parties, so, if you missed today's party it looks like fun you want to come down on Friday, remember. You'll be able to do that as well every, time Winnipeg, hosts, a playoff, game they, were suggesting that. You bring a, lawn, chair if you want to sit and watch the game here because there's big screens set up you can sit and watch the game I don't know where you'd put a lawn, chair but, perhaps off on the side just. A thought for next time. It's you know fantastic that they have they. Have the big screens here so people can watch the game because. It's. Not easy to get a ticket to go inside, the, building and watch the game ticket, Giants StubHub was, advertising, playoff, tickets for more than a thousand. Dollars, American. For. A seat, one seat, here, tonight for, many people taking in a Jets practice, at the ice Plex well that's a great way to get up close to the the team this week so, CBC hit the rink actually, to, find out if Jets fans would be willing to pay something. Close to $1,000, a us. Just to see them play in person I would. But, as. A season, ticket holder I, can't. Bring myself to selling, it for that much at that's. Bad doesn't. Surprise me a big hockey town and, people, are out to make make. A buck. People. Will pay it if I was going to be at home this week yeah I would think about it seriously yes just. For one single ticket one single ticket. We've. Waited a long time to see the Jets. Move. Up in the standings and, I think the city of Winnipeg, deserves. To have a team this, good because of the fans here. Well. I'm listening to the the fun here at this party so many people, are here, talking. About this this game tonight, and getting excited about it I'm joined now by Dane aspiring cotton, Dane is here to prove that yes I am indeed the shortest, TV, host ever she's also here because she's one of the people who helped to organize this one of a major army of people who helped organize this dana is president, and CEO of, economic.
Development Winnipeg that's, the organization that together with the city and also, with TrueNorth organize. This party Dana why did you want to do this you know what we knew that Jets fans wanted, somewhere to celebrate, we knew they wanted to come out and be a part of this game there's. 15,000. People that are tickets but there's, thousands, more that want to be a part of it so this is our way to give back to Winnipeg, ours and give, everybody a safe fun place to come and celebrate and Dana, tells me there are people here with lawn chairs there's a whole stack of people right up by the screen that brought their lawn chairs parked themselves early and they're ready to watch so, that is the key for Friday yeah. That's. Always the way yes we. Didn't quite expect the crowds we have tonight so this, is pretty great what. Were you expecting well it's a little cold in April in Winnipeg but weird, it beggars are hearty so we knew there'd be a crowd this, is even bigger than we expected, so we're really excited about it well, it is a fantastic, community feeling, down here but there are some people are gonna be concerned because, you have beer concessions, over there like people can can buy alcohol here and drink it so, how some folks are gonna think that's just an invitation. For trouble they'll be worried people will get drunken, and disorderly what, do you have to say about that you know what we've got a very extensive, safety plan in place you'll see in, addition to the beer vendors, we've, got police officers, everywhere we've got the downtown bins doing safety we. Want a great environment, for Winnipeggers, to have fun and and we do that pretty well as a community we come together when there's big events and we can have fun and be safe so that's our message to everybody have, a great time be safe and enjoy. This, we. Will thanks so much Dana, Dana, aspiring from, this, the economic. Development Winnipeg, one of the hosts of tonight's event, of course with the city entry North are putting this on and they're gonna do it every single. Home, game, Marjorie, dalhouse what do you think. I. Think. So I have never seen anything like this before it is pretty crazy down here if, you're not down here right now you should check it out because I mean, really when's. The last time, we saw something like this and maybe when's the next time we're gonna see something, like this well, we've been talking about the Jets and as I mentioned, we want to learn a little bit more about our opponents that's the Minnesota Wild Sarah, McLellan, is, a reporter, who covers the wild, for the Minnesota, Star Tribune she's here in Winnipeg and she joins me now hi Sarah, hi are you good, how are you good. Thank you for joining us today now I want, to get a little bit of insight from you about, the wild. You've, been covering the wild now for about how long about a year this season yeah actually started, earlier this season. And tell, me a little bit about, what. Do you think the chances are of the, wild against the Jets. And, now the tables have turned they, are. An underdog I think the Jets obviously, are coming off a franchise best season, probably, the pressures on them so I think the wild have embraced this role where they're under the radar.
Not As many maybe outside, expectations. For them but, they're embracing it they've had a quality season, I think they feel confident, in their chances now, what, do you think are some of the strengths that the wild have against, the Jets a lot of people have talked about how the. Wild are really good at plugging up the neutral zone how, are they going to with their game plan do you think it's going to be against the Jets well they're gonna be tough out all over the ice they're ferocious on, the forecheck, they are gonna plug up the neutral zone and try to be sturdy in their own end but it's an inexperienced, blue line they're missing some key players like Oh Ryan Suter who's very experienced. So a little bit of an experience, on that back end but they, compete, and that's kind of their identity, this season they've had to weather a lot of adversity and their experience, that's one err edge they have over the Jets they, have two players that have want to combine three Stanley Cups they've got a lot of guys that have been here before okay now what, do you think the strengths, are for the Jets I mean you have to have a little bit of insight on how Winnipeg, is going to do yeah for sure I think that offense, is is very impressive, obviously, with Patrick, line he's 44, goals. They're going to be tough to stop and I think that's probably what this series could boil down to can, the wilds, new look defense pulled, up and stopped, a very, high-scoring Jets, team that might be the battle to watch this entire series now I want to ask you one more question you, know a little bit about rivalries, some, people might say how have you covered hockey you're a Canadian, girl so we know rivalries, between the wild and the Jets but you and I know a little bit of rivalries, because, you grew up in Edmonton right I'm from Edmonton originally. I grew, up mostly in Arizona but I was born there grew. Up watching the Oilers so I remember the flames and Oilers Battle of Alberta, so, I'm interested to see if this rivalry, between the Jets and, the wild can reach that level all, right I also, I grew up in Calgary by the way so I know a little about rivalries, with Sara I want to thank you so much for joining us and we. Know that you're gonna have fun here and Winnipeg just as we're gonna have fun covering, the Jets in Minneapolis, thank you so much thank you, that's Sarah McLellan she, is a reporter, she covers the wild for the Minnesota Star Tribune now, to see what's happening, traffic wise because it's a little bit of a mess here downtown let's, send it to CBC Sabrina, karna Valley.
