Here's hoping that all of you had a merry "JETS-mas" this year! I know I did! I received almost exclusively Winnipeg Jets stuff for gifts and couldn't be happier!
I received the book "Back in the Bigs" by Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press and I have to say I am most impressed with the book. There were so many holes in the story of the original Winnipeg Jets that I was so happy to see filled in and clarified via this writing. I have a much more profound respect for the tough fight it took to bring home our beloved hockey team after reading this account. The photography is quite good and I think it did an excellent job of capturing the feeling of a city and a province who once again felt that immense pride that comes from having a major-league team in a major-league sport.
I am thinking that I will notice a bit of a downturn in the fuel efficiency of my vehicle now as I have two full sized Winnipeg Jets car flags flying on my car on game days and I have a new permanent antenna flag that will always be in "flight" in support of the JETS. Plus, I always carry the 3X5 foot flag on a pole in the car on gameday too...never want to get caught out and about without my flags should an impromptu WINNIPEG JETS celebration break out!
I sincerely hope that the Jets can turn around their road record in a most positive way with a W over the Avalanche tonight. We will have to be rock solid away from the MTS centre in order to have a shot at a playoff spot this season and I just know this team is capable of fantastic things when they play their very best games. Here's hoping the Avs are more than a little weary from their game in Minnesota last night and that the altitude of the Pepsi Centre doesn't affect our boys too much. I really hope they come out of the gate with afterburners glowing and don't look back. I know we can win as often on the road as we do in the Hangar back in the 'Peg.
I know pretty much every Alberta based Winnipeg Jet fan has circled March 9th, 2012 on their calendars (their brand spanking new Winnipeg Jets calendars, of course!) as the triumphant day when we will once again be able to see our much cherished team play in THIS province again! There has been much discussion about the game and getting tickets to this highly desireable matchup when the Jets visit the Flames at the Saddledome....I know that when the Ticketmaster sales opened that all the cheap tickets to the game sold out in mere moments...thank goodness for Stubhub and Ebay!
Have a great night all and most importantly of all....GO JETS GO!!!!
