I decided a couple of weeks ago to make this point whenever there was mention of these Jets being the same as the old Jets. Eh-hem..

The Jets went to fucking Phoenix! Winnipeg Jets of old now wear earth-tones. Shane mother-fucking Doan!!!! Winnipeg's new team would be the Thrashers 2.0 with a Jet on their chests. Minnesota got that the North Stars left and don't pretend like they're current franchise has been around since Al Gore created the internet. To make things even more confusing, they're acting as if this is the first season ever played for the franchise by (air quotes here) "wiping the record book." WTF?! Remember when Evander Kane wasn't sure if he should keep his own number? The poor guy must have been lost in all the confusion. Maybe it's time to be honest with yourselves and acknowledge what actually happened instead of putting your fingers in your ears and repeating "lah-lah-lah-lah." Thanks for your time. Fin.

no disrespect to the Jets or Winnipeg, but I don't think that story is (or should be) bigger than losing an entire hockey team in a plane crash.

I couldnt agree with you anymore. Its pretty much why I stopped hoping that team will succeed. Now I just hope they turn in to the Islanders, no offense Bolts.

It honestly wouldn't have struck such a nerve with me if they weren't the team that I went to see last year (unless they played the Penguins, then I had to push for the 'Guins). I hate to be THAT kind of fan, but I want to see them fail too.
