Report: Winnipeg fans claim their Canadian flags were taken before Game 4

Did the security at T-Mobile Arena go too far to ensure a great home environment for the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday? One reporter is saying so.

Global Winnipeg reporter Brittany Greenslade tweeted that she spoke with a Jets fan who claims their Canadian flag and sign were taken away by security. The tweet also says others had their Jets flags taken away, while Knights fans were allowed in with flags and signs without an issue.

Just heard from @nhljets fan in the arena – @GoldenKnights security threw away their Canadian flag and ripped their sign in half, wouldn’t allow it in m. 3 others had #jets flags/capes taken away. Knights fans beside them walked in with their flags and signs no problem

Another fan chimed in and said their sign was taken away over claims that it was too big.

They took my 7 year old nephews sign away too. They said it was too big but saw other people with the same size signs. He was pretty upset.

This is exactly what they talk about when they refer to home cooking.

The Golden Knights entered Game 4 up 2-1 in the series. At least Jets fans shouldn’t have issues when the series heads back to Winnipeg.
