NASHVILLE — It was an odd sight, to be sure, Thursday night. Side-by-side luxury boxes at Bridgestone Arena filled with blue-clad hockey fans cheering wildly for the visitors.
A tiny island flying Jets Nation colours surrounded by a vast sea of Predators yellow.
It’s a good thing the folks of Nashville take kindly to strangers, but these guys were harmless: about 35 special guests of the Winnipeg Jets, just along for the ride.
Each one of the Jets’ regular travellers has either a family member or friend accompanying them on a two-game road trip to Nashville and Dallas.
