[slapshot68]

wat team the jets considered their rivals?

[BrightOranje]

@slapshot68 The other western Canadian teams, but especially Calgary and Edmonton, who beat them relentlessly and repeatedly in the playoffs during the 80s

[CamericaUSA]

@BrightOranje Detroit man.

[jetshull]

fuckin' rights lets goooooooo jets.

[MissBobbyMcGee77]

someone put that kid in a room and shh it for 8 minutes! Gah! Thanks for putting this up though!

[Gusbuddy1]

Hope they keep the jets name.

[figastro]

Bettman must be a little shocked at how fast the season tickets are going too! We're an hour away from a likely SELL OUT; 13,000 (posted at 11:10am on Saturday June 4th, 2011)

[brokennarcissist]

Thrashers' average attendance was twelve thousand and Betman is demanding that Winnipeg sell thirteen thousand season tickets? Me thinks this Winnipeg team is southern Ontario bound in a few years.

[harrywg]

@brokennarcissist trust me, as a Winnipeger i know how hockey crazy our city is, and season tickets arent even crazy in terms of price. so no i dont think your correct in that assumption.

[brokennarcissist]

@harrywg There the second most expensive in Canada and their asking for people to purchase them for three seasons. That is ridiculous, I don't think Winnipeg is getting a fair short and it'll be interesting to see how this thing settles after the novelty of having a team back wears off.

[harrywg]

@brokennarcissist we sold out season tickets in 4 minutes.........thats a 2-4 year guarantee, and the waiting list for seasons is over 10, 000 now so even if the novelty wears of they have people who will buy terminated season contracts, but I think you underestimate the wealth this city actually has.

[brokennarcissist]

@harrywg I underestimated how little else there is to do in Winnipeg.

[harrywg]

@brokennarcissist that is a misleading comment, just because Chicago Bulls season tickets are sold out doesnt mean that all there is to do in chicago........and yes we are an 800, 000 pop. city, but minus the aboriginals we all have a pretty sweet city in many regards, and im from tarzana california originally so its not like im speaking from a close-minded view.

[heywoodjerbloume]

The way this city has behaved the last three weeks over this hockey team is dumb.it makes us out to be hayseeds.When it was announced today the morons shut down Portage and Main,Thanks alot idiots for causing missed appointments and huge traffic tie ups,The cops should have busted heads and taken names.

[harrywg]

@heywoodjerbloume how is municipal unity dumb? supporting the team and showing our interest is important. dont be a wet blanket.

[harrywg]

@heywoodjerbloume u need to cheer up, whatever is bothering you can be fixed with either a good dose of valium, or a pair of tickets toa jets game :) besides why would you even take portage and main to work.....theres about a hundred side streets off both roads downtown. and besides it was a sweet atmosphere at p&m, you'd know that if you were there.

[divinefart]

This sawn off little jew is 2weeks late on this, fantastic winnipeg is back in the nhl, next its phoenix to hamilton, congrats guys hope it dries out

[hawker800FO]

@divinefart NO NO NO hamilton is a stain and with 3 teams within 100 miles it will collapse, bring the nordiques back

[smitty5ca]

Gary Bettman must be so angry Atlanta is moving to Winnipeg. I love it. GO JETS GO!
