awkward yet awesome hockey moment

Neighborhood yard sale.. young Hispanic couple stop to look at my yard-crap... did not really speak English... dude was rocking a circa 1984 pontiac Firebird sleeveless t-shirt and an AWESOME classic Winnipeg Jets hat. I tried to trade hats on the spot. He had no idea what I was taking about, it was quite frustrating. Offered the hat off my head. I wanted that hat dammit.

Maybe one day, the Jets will fly again in Winnipeg...

It wasn't the pimp hat you offered was it?

Be more specific...
All my hats are pimp hats

I will accept that as your final answer, Biz.

Teemu Selanne and Alexei Zhitnik were magical that rookie season for Selanne in Winnipeg. I don't think that record will ever be broken.

Sooo....you allowed him to walk away and you failed to acquire the hat, right?

Short of committing minor assault I pretty much had to let him walk. He had absolutely no clue what I was trying to say.

Who says this isn't a hockey market?
Even our immigrants are hockey fans and are committed to their gear.

In the drug infested downtown eastside of vancouver you can drive through there and see the sweetest array of replica sports jerseys worn by the drug addicts

Who didn't like being Selanne in video games!?

And remote South American villages are wearing sweet things like NE Patriots "19-0" superbowl shirts and Sabres 1999 Stanley Cup hats.

lol Yeah, my company employees 25-30 part timers through a job service that caters to the Spanish speaking community, so I'm kind of familiar with that whole "no comprende" routine too.
