Blue in the loops Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I notice the time the west semi final is on the jets have a game against the Kings. Is possible to push them apart so people can see both games? Rod Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 If people are stupid enough to choose a meaningless game out of 82 over the bombers possible playoff game... then let them. Honestly the bomber game actually means something.... the Jets game? It truly means nothing. yogi, ddanger, Noeller and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALuCsRED Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Who wants to watch a hockey game in the afternoon? Poor scheduling on the NHL's part. Indoors during the day and NOT watching the NFL? Seriously? Arnold_Palmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgchris Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 This is a conflict? I'm puzzled... Sort of like saying, "I have a tough call to make, here. I could eat this delicious pizza with my favourite toppings, OR, frozen green beans, still frozen." No conflict there. Wanna-B-Fanboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I am a Jets fan but bomber playoffs is way more important than 1 of 82 regular season games. Jaxon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehedra Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I'd agree with Goalie, its not much of a conflict even for Jets fans. Unless you for some reason have to catch every game out of an 82 game schedule. Even then though, it would just mean you aren't much of a CFL fan if those regular season games are more important than play off games. ** Not sure how everything became underlined ** Edited October 18, 2016 by Tehedra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 There are many cities out there with multiple professional sports teams. They don't check with each other for conflicts, People just have to make their choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 In no way shape or form would I ever pick any other sports game over a Bomber playoff game... let alone a regular season Jets game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the bomber game actually means something.... the Jets game? It truly means nothing. IIrc the first game against BC was very sparse in attendance with people watching pre season jets games, and the chat box was filled with jets stuff half the time. It really sucks for the football/bombers but their share of the market has drastically dipped. Even in a year where we are in a position to take a home play off game. In the pre jets era this team would be racking up sell outs at home. I really hope this turn around is a long term sustained one. Other wise the franchise could be in real financial trouble again.

Rod Black Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I like the question. Jets v Kings is scheduled for 1 pm. For the Bombers being a Western playoff game, I'd guess the start time in Ywg is 3 pm. The Kings don't have to play until the Tuesday, so moving the game to noon should have minimal impact on the visiting team. Viewers in LA would be impacted. If the move is workable for the NHL and if TSN with the CFL can accommodate a 4 pm start, Winnipeg sports fans could have the best of both professional sports worlds. Networks appear the issue. I'd like to see both games but if only one be attended, the bomber game is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not so simple if you've already paid for Jets tickets that day. Lots of people who go to Jets games are the same people that go to Bombers games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bomber Fan Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 OK reverse the order PVR the Bomber game, go to the Jets game and you have the comfort of watching both in the warm confines of the arena and your home. Still simple I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybug Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think this could potentially kill a good portion of the walk-up crowd for the eastern semi final. The best place to catch the most action from both games will be in front of the tv. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
