NASHVILLE — How is it that Winnipeg has experienced just a pair of Game 7’s as a National Hockey League city — both losses, both in Round 1 — while a few miles to the West lie Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, where fans have all lived through multiple Game 7’s, several in Stanley Cup Finals?
That’s what happens when the hockey Gods consider you a fly-over province for all these years. Not only were Manitobans denied the banners and celebrations from series’ won, they were deprived of the elation of watching a Game 7 win.
