The Winnipeg Jets have made the Conference Finals for the first time in their history. That history is long, quite odd and anomalous with the NHL doing janky things to this team. Very surprising that the League would do such a thing, I know. From 1971 to 1979 the trend of alternative professional leagues like the AFL and ABA came to the world of hockey. And much like the other leagues designed to challenge their established brethren, the WHA…

The Pens lost. Series belongs to the Caps right now. Pens got Geno and Dump back but still no Hags. Oh and look another “accidental” hit to the head by Wilson. Watch what the linesman does here; He turns away and doesn’t even watch the hit. No wonder Wilson didn’t get a penalty here as the lineman didn’t even see the hit. He was too busy skating away. Again the player Wilson hit was near another Caps player….
