Jets are the best.
That is all I have to say.

Wow that is impressive, since that time frame includes the dead puck era.
9 games for the record - lets go boys!
Why do I get the feeling that we'll get lit up by San Jose and the streak comes to an end?
I cheered for guys on my fantasy replay teams for 15 years, going as far as to get their jerseys on occasion. My first big poker tourney win in 2000, I was probably the only person who was ever in Regina in a Guy Carbonneau Dallas Stars jersey. but yeah, friends and family (even those in winnipeg) told me I should just admit defeat and take a new team. Held out for 15 years. They were the first ones I called from the Forks back in 2011 back on Jetsmas Day.
For 22 consecutive seasons, the league average SV% was below .900. (72-73 through 93-94). It dipped below .900 one more time in 95-96. So for a couple of decades, it would've been very tough to set a record like that. Take a look at a random mid-80s game night in the NHL: NHL Scores | Feb 19, 1985 | NHL.com - the lowest scoring game was 5-2. 4 out of the 6 games that night had 12 or more goals scored!TSN said the Jets are only the 3rd team since expansion (1967) to go 26 games allowing 3 or less goals. I wonder what the record is for consecutive games allowing 3 or fewer.
I do hate to mention this so if you're older than me, stop reading now.The NHL was dead to me from 96 to 2011.
I never thought Winnipeg would get a 2nd chance. The circumstances in 2011 were a very unlikely case of the stars aligning. Even then I was skeptical until the sale of the high priced season tickets. That made me a believer and I jumped on board.
I can understand people who grew up in Ontario being Leafs fans for life. Childhood attachments are strong. I can even almost understand fans of Original 6 teams who were fans of those teams when they were the ONLY 6 hanging on. But that was 59 years ago. There can't be too many of those left.
What I can't understand is fans who adopted a team arbitrarily because they didn't have a real team of their own who stay loyal to those teams. Why are there so many Flyers fans in Winnipeg FCS? Come on people, those were never really your teams. Let them go and embrace a team that belongs to you.
Yes, thats correct.WTF is this? LOL
I love reading a post that makes me spit out my drink laughing, well done sir , well done.You should have consumed him in the womb.
IF that was the case, I don't think Chipman makes that mistake again either.
I make it 3 years too long with Maurice. He was even given an extension during that period IIRC.
Agreed, i think he should have probably been let go in 2020 .Pomo resigned in 2021. You think he should have been fired right after making the conference final in 2018?
Kyle Connor is skating again.
From what I've seen in the crowd (very very unscientific analysis), many of the fans of a few of these teams (like the Flyers) are indigenous. Seeing as these teams have had some pioneers on them (Reggie Leach for instance), it could be a case of following a player or players and therefore loving the team? It could be that their family always cheered for, say the Flyers, and they naturally picked up that tradition?The NHL was dead to me from 96 to 2011.

Yessss very speedy? I wonder what his chances are of making the team?Great to see this. Dude looks quick!
Man he looks plenty quick and back to his old self. No way he isnt back sometime later this month.Great to see this. Dude looks quick!
The NHL was also dead to me from 1996 to 2011. Except when a game was on TV when I was in a bar or someone else's house, I did not watch any games during that time, and there was no way in hell I was going to adopt another team. My life ended up a lot better with hockey during those years, as it gave me so much more free time for other, more interesting things.
I did put a curse on the NHL when the Jets left, which was really only a joke, of course, yet it's held now for almost 30 years. My curse was that no Canadian team would win the Stanley Cup until Winnipeg had an NHL team again, and then only after the Jets won a Cup. So far, it's worked, and I chuckle about it to this day.

Not arbitrary at all, there has long been a healthy Flyers fan base in Manitoba due to three of their legends being Manitobans: Reggie Leach, Bobby Clarke and Ron Hextall. Then fandom is often "inherited" by the next gen. I cheered for them in the 80s because I liked Hextall and they met the Oilers a couple times in the finals.

Just me riffin'

No Jets were #1, and this is also when I was 10-12 yrs old so like a cool jersey could make me a fan of something lol. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I understand how there are fans of different teams showing up at games. I think my original point was due to the attendance issues we have had this season, I'm not going to complain if non Jets fans are buying tickets and going to the games. If they are going solely to cheer against the Jets, let them. They are wasting their money anyways, since Jets are likely to win.OK, take issue with the use of the word arbitrary. I suppose some would say that supporting the home team is arbitrary.
Were they your #1 team in the 80s? Cheering for a 2nd or even 3rd team when the home team is not involved is entirely different than attending Jets home games decked out in Flyers gear and cheering for the visitors.
Its a tribal thing for me. I cheer for Winnipeg. I cheer for Manitoba. I cheer for Canada. After that, I can pick anyone to adopt until Canada, Manitoba or Winnipeg are back in it.

I was three/four when the Jets left and had no real memories of 1.0. I'm 31 now - picked the Flames as my team because I loved Iggy and they had the '04 run.
Thanks. I am pretty quick.Great to see this. Dude looks quick!
