In the early days of Facebook, around 2006-2008, there was an anti-Leafs/satire Facebook page called "I believe the Winnipeg Jets will win the Stanley Cup before the Toronto Maple Leafs do", something to that affect. It was extra funny because there was no Jets at the time. Now I'm waiting for the day it comes true and satire becomes reality. I feel it lines up nicely with your curse.
That's funny, because one of the jokes I've made about my curse is that the Leafs are the only team exempt from the curse, because they screw up all on their own every year, and don't need a curse to be awful.
More to your point: PoMo resigned on December 18, 2021 iirc. Three years earlier, on December 18, 2018 not only were we fresh off a conference final, we were tied for second in the league. We had just finished a November in which we set a franchise record for points in a month - a month in which Laine scored three hattricks (in three different countries, a feat that I doubt will ever be beaten) including a five goal game against the Blues.
I have underwear older than you.
Sure, lots of people adopted teams during the hiatus. No problem - as long as you shuffled them down when the Jets returned.
Thats what she said.....Thanks. I am pretty quick.
Any of 'em wearing Huggies?
I don't know how you managed to make them last so long. Mine are done after 10-15 years
He means after the season the Jets were knocked out of the playoffs by the Blues.
Looked it up. Jan 27 - April 9 / 2015
Should have done WPG-JTS or something maybe? Strange that they have a design that demands that custom plates be split up like that.
As a counter point, the Jets fell apart in the back half of the 2018/2019 season before going out with a whimper in the first round.
really enjoying it. im not going to lie, i really miss winnipeg and i know i wont get back often from here, so that hurts. but my kids are thriving and surrounded by family. and our mortage is now 800 a month for a 1600 sq foot bungalow thanks in large part to our calgary house selling for a tidy sum. lifes good
Make it stop.

When the Jets left, my heart was broken, and I stopped watching NHL hockey until the Jets came back. Always been a Jets fan and never gave up hope...Or, grew up without a team and had a number one? Yes, most of us are that old that we remember 1.0 haha.
When the Jets left I boycotted the NHL until 2003. I kept playing hockey and watched junior, but no NHL.
Then I moved to Alberta for work and started watching the Oilers in 2003. There was something about that team - underrated, lunch bucket team with some top end skill and a LOT of hard workers. A no name defense and really good goaltending. Hmmm sound familiar?
The pinnacle for me was living in Edmonton and watching the cinderella run in 2006. That was one of my favorite moments, despite the way it ended.
The MOMENT the Jets came back I severed my ties with the Oilers. I told myself they'd be my second team, but I have NO second team. There is the Jets, and 31 enemies of various hate levels.
They were always in the trash. Some people just love dumpster diving
Same!When the Jets left, my heart was broken, and I stopped watching NHL hockey until the Jets came back. Always been a Jets fan and never gave up hope...
I wanted him gone back then and took a lot of hate for it. We're lucky he left on his own or he'd probably still be here. The only thing I don't like about Chevy is keeping guys here too long.
Yes yes of course
