Predators fan embraced by Winnipeg Whiteout
The allure of the “Winnipeg Whiteout,” and the street party that takes place before, during and after, every Winnipeg Jets playoff game, is the appeal of transforming thousands of different fans into a single, uniformed, white-clad organism that is wholly concerned with supporting and encouraging the home team.
So what would happen if this collective visual, this singular passion, was disrupted by a blight of canary mustard yellow, in the form of a visiting Nashville Predator’s fan? Could a hostile destination for visiting NHL teams be a receptive environment for an out-of-town guest, or would he get pummelled with empties and abuses like an enemy visitor to the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles?
