WOOHOO! They won again tonight, and actually have a shot at the playoffs. Every time I write that word, I hear Jim Mora with the playoffs rant. "playoffs, don't talk about playoffs....you kidding me - Playoffs?????" pretty funny
anyway - the announcement about the Jets was made in late May of last year. You should have heard the city - they lost their minds. It was awesome!
then they announced the season ticket drive... the city had to sell 15000 seats in 6 weeks to show we were serious about this team, and that they could be viable in Winnipeg. First, the current Manitoba Moose ticket holders got their choice. That sold over half of the tickets available, in about 3 days. The sale to the general public was on Saturday June 4. All during that week, there was talk about how we have to sell those tickets - if we don't, Winnipeg may not be a viable city after all.
There was a lot of doom and gloom from the sports folks that weren't in Winnipeg. Even us Winnipeggers were wondering if we could do it.
Tickets went on sale at noon on the 4th...and were sold out by 12:02.
neener neener neeener SO THERE NHL!
And now - the MTS Centre is known as the loudest and most raucous arena in the NHL. We love our Jets, and raise the roof to prove it!
The Husband and I holler every time they score, and mah kittehs freak out every time...
