Winnipeg, Manitoba is rarely mentioned as a destination that needs to be on your vacation itinerary. But anyone who's traveled to the hockey-mad city to witness the hometown Jets take the ice at Bell MTS Place knows it's a true spectacle of sport - especially in the playoffs.
For everyone who couldn't make the trip to southern Manitoba, here are some of the best photos and clips from the Jets' 7-4 smackdown of the Nashville Predators in Game 3.
The game, the crowd, the atmosphere - Tuesday night was a special one for the Winnipeg whiteout.
The calm before the storm.
Why not add a flyby from two @RCAF_ARC CF-18 Hornet fighter jets. #WPGWhiteout #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/NiGsI7an9R

Two CF-18 Hornets from the Royal Canadian Air Force helped get the crowd fired up before puck drop.
Apparently, the Jets faithful got the memo about the all-white attire.

Yeah, that atmosphere looks like a little bit of fun.
What's a postseason hockey game without crushing a few cold ones?
It’s loud and nothing but white. It’s a 4-3 game for the @NHLJets! #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/TXDWItSSlt

Make sure the sound is on and up for this clip of Dustin Byfuglien's go-ahead goal. Seems just a wee bit rowdy at Bell MTS Place.
Speaking of Big Buff, he had one of the best postseason games of his career, notching two goals and an assist.
The #WPGWhiteout is alive and STRONGER than EVER! 💪 pic.twitter.com/7MAkps6d6V

Head to toe, hockey heads in Winnipeg are doing it right.
Blake Wheeler's game-winning goal in the third period sealed the victory for the Jets on a ridiculously raucous night in the Peg.
