Jets anxious to get series against the Predators going

The most highly anticipated second round NHL playoff series features a Canadian team as the Winnipeg Jets battle the Nashville Predators.

Although the series doesn't start until Friday night, the teams have had some fun on social media going back and forth and it all started with the Predators revealing their 'Smash Jet' for the series.

Before fans had the chance to put a dent in the Jet, though, Winnipeg fired back on Twitter.

Awwwww… what a cute lil skipper plane. 😁

When you take a shot at the Jets, you best not miss and that holds true if you're fan, too.

The @NHLJets owner David Thomson is the 32nd wealthiest person in the world, so I think they will be okay. pic.twitter.com/3oapmCJ1SO

We know this is going to be one of the most entertaining series to watch on the ice, but we didn't anticipate the social media battle off the ice that has already started to take place.
