    You make the mistake of getting your info from the news/media.   I remember the time several years back when Trump was arriving in Canada and the news reported a massive riot and how stores were locking up shop and boarding up the windows. The news made it out like it was a scene from the movie the Warriors.   I was on the scene of that so called riot and it was 25 hippies who held signs for 10 minutes peacefully and then walked away.   The news isn't reliable.  CBC being by far the worst.  

    Per capita Winnipeg has far more crime then those 3 cities.   Where you find poverty you find crime,  that's why Regina and Winnipeg have higher crime rates and the worst homicide rate across Canada.   A large factor is that these cities have a large indigenous community which many come from insanely dangerous places.  Thompson often is the worst city in Canada for crime.   What the news/media reports is probably only 5% of that total incidents of serious crime.   Talk to a police officer ,  someone in justice,  or even folks who work at hospitals and in ambulances.   Soooooo much really messed up and bad things happen that people are completely unaware of.    I assume this is done on purpose to not freak out the general population.   The stories that I have heard are horrendous and people would be horrified if they knew about what goes on.   

    Statistically you are wrong and Toronto is a safer place.  You are more likely to be killed here in the Peg.   

    Yeah there's something not reliable here just can't put my finger on it...

    I see that there's a park and ride from Hat Trick's for those in the west end.... $25 and you get a $25 voucher to use for food/drink at HT's before or after the game. Good deal, for sure. I think we'll definitely be using one of the bar park and rides on the 29th......absolutely can't wait. 

    This is my "local" and was this close to using for today's transportation..... Until I saw they plan to leave 1 hour before the game starts.  Those people will be lucky to inside by the end of the 1st quarter.

    so.... how do the jets stop mcdavid?

     

    Just an honest attempt to slow him down would be a nice start.  Make some sound personnel decisions.  Don't watch him like fans do and let him skate circles, play the body.  

    You can't stop the guy, but Jets can do far better at trying that's for sure.  

    As much as McDavid dominated us this season, Tippet too did quite a number on Maurice.

    Totally agree with this and it’s something the Jets haven’t done.  I understand hitting McDavid isn’t easy, but we passed up so many opportunities in prior games.  Got to be physical and try to fluster him a bit.

    Yeah and watch us throw 81/55/26 out there against him again.  Copp and Appleton are the only 2 FWs who come to mind who can even try that pest roll...

    No but gonna try Underdogs tonight.

    The website absolutely sucks for getting a list, so below is an excel spreadsheet I found while looking, with pictures, descriptions and prices for those interested.

    Damn that is helpful!  I'm not sure why the Burger Week ppl haven't made a better website yet.  I usually rely on Access Winnipeg's list. At least has a pic & description for each place.
