This was so hard. Any of those are great choices
Yeah you can see by people's votesSelanne's rookie season is easy for me. But agree that the others were all great moments too.
There are probably a lot of people here who weren't born for Selanne's rookie season.
I was at the first pre-season game also, and it was loud and people were pumped. I remember walking in well before puck drop and the crowd was already doing a loud GO JETS GO chant.Man I'm old. I was at that Edmonton game when Ellet scored. I thought the upper deck was going to collapse.
I'd go with Buff's first shift though from the modern era. I wasn't at the Preds game otherwise that would likely be it.
The first season our ticket group was shocked when I took the first pre-season game with my second pick in the draft (home opener against Montreal was my first pick). I was more emotional at the pre-season game than I was at the regular season home opener. There were easily more electric games in the first season (Boston comes to mind) but that first shift was insane. Buff looking around and nodding at the crowd as he went to the penalty box was priceless.
I was in the airport bar in Grand Forks on my way to Vegas for a bachelor party during that game. The bar and ensuing flight were chaos. Tons of Winnipeggers glued to the TV screens in the airport. That whole series was so memorable.Paul Stastny lights up Pekka Rinne, to lead the Jets to a 5-2 victory in Nashville in Game 7, and into the Conference Finals for the first time in Jets NHL history.
Ok, but only you and ps241 are old enough to remember when everyone wore onions on their belts and nickels had bees on them...Signing Bobby Hull would beat any of those choices. Put the Jets forefront in the hockey universes eye, and quasi-legitimized the entire WHA. Who knows if any of what we've come to know happens without that moment.
Actually he was signed just a couple of weeks after my 7th birthday, and frankly, I don't remember any of it.Ok, but only you and ps241 are old enough to remember when everyone wore onions on their belts and nickels had bees on them...
