The National Hockey League’s playoffs kick off tonight, and multiple Canadian Football League teams sent their best wishes to their municipal brothers over social media this week.
In Winnipeg, the Jets are set for their first-round matchup with the St. Louis Blues, and Bombers running back Andrew Harris recorded a video for the team.

The Calgary Stampeders took it one step further, tossing up a throwback to their post-Grey Cup appearance at a Flames game and anointing their NHL neighbours the ‘future champs’.
From the #GreyCup champs to the future champs…
