As those from House Stark would say @STLpubLibrary , “Winter is Coming” and our @NHLJets can take the cold. Any predictions on how this series will end? The boys from the North are looking mighty strong and hungry for another win! #goJetsgo @cityofwinnipeg @Mayor_Bowman pic.twitter.com/zmDhsqw5ME

People of Winnipeg-one great hockey town: no looking back, eh? On to Game 6 in St. Louis where, as our friends @STLpublicLibrary know, we’ve had a GREAT time.
