Jets fans around the world - introduce yourselves!

[RageQuit77]

Our Air Forces have Hornets as our 1st liners, though, so we find the Jets logo very approvable.

The greatest fighter plane ever made is Brewster 239, though, obviously. Like many other things starting with 2 and ending with 9, they first said it's useless and kind of ugly, and then they shut up.

...note to self don't post at 3:22 in the morning when you have insomnia

No worries. I've concluded that same too.

Anyway, if suffering from insomnia it's indeed recommended to study about Finnish Air Forces, Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo Model B-239 (export), FAF Airframe BW-364, and Lentolaivue 24 (Flight Squadron 24). Everything didn't go totally wrong with undervalued and obsolete scrap metal-grade deliveries over seas. From perspective of Jets' Finnish Squadron it can tell some kind of allegoric background story about the unit.

It would not take too much time or photoshopping skills to make adequate adjustments to Jets logo if using FAF logo insignia either.

Like... getting shot down in the 2nd period but returning two days later for the third to ask where's your rye bread?

Could we re-name this thread into "Finish fans around the world - introduce yourselves!"

Hello, I'm mgxu.

I'm a younger person originally from Atlanta who moved to Charlotte.

Obviously, the Thrashers used to be in Atlanta until they were forced out.

I went to a few games as a really young boy and don't remember anything.

I got SUPER into hockey in last month and year. I have decided for a while now that I would be a Jets fan because of the franchise history and here I am.

I am new to hockey but, I am still learning a lot. The names on Jets I now so far are Wheeler, Laine, Scheifele, Ehler and I forget the goalies name. I know we have been struggling with a tremendous amount of injuries and we have a lot of "call-ups".

But, I am loyal to the end it does help if we win a few though right?

Welcome! You'll find a pretty friendly and helpful group here (most of the time ). You are coming at a good time. The team is near rock bottom but with a bright future which should start paying off with a few wins very soon now. Team loyalty will be respected.

Welcome! You'll learn a lot just by reading here. It's frustrating being a fan at the moment but sonn we'll be on the up again and success will be sweet.

Living currently near Raleigh , NC , but couldn't care less about the Hurricanes. Don't want to go into detail why , but they suck.

Moved to US a bit over 5 years ago from Finland , so there's that. Because of a woman , of course. She couldn't take the Finnish winter , so we moved here.

I really started to follow the Jets after Armia was traded there , he was the main reason. And now we have Laine there too , so it's just getting better. We need even more Finns in our team , that would be great lol

Time to start winning Jets!

Welcome, RunDown! It'll be nice to see Armia return to the line-up soon.

thought this contest may interest a few; I know there are several out of province fans on here who could probably be nominated. Unfortunately said fan has to be living in Canada or the USA

Hello, a Finnish fan here.

In Finland I support Tappara which is why I kept watching Laine after he was drafted into Winnipeg.

Additionally, between ages of ~6 and ~14 I played hockey myself in a junior team of Tappara called Winnipeg so there's another connection why I like following the team.

The school I went to in Tampere was less than a kilometer away from Hakametsä arena so I spent quite a bit time hanging around the place. Back in those days a ticket to Tappara game might cost about 10 FIM ($2) for juniors of the team. They were not best seats, but usually nobody minded kids just sitting down on whatever free spots we found.

I started watching hockey again only recently (with advancement of online streaming).

Saw this and had a wee cry. I mean HFJets alone could fill a small plane of out of country fans.

Wait - there was a team called Winnipeg? "The Winnipegs" or just "Winnipeg"? That's an interesting choice for a team name...

And welcome, btw.

I believe the junior teams within Tappara were pretty much named after cities with NHL franchises, although the only two I remember being there was Winnipeg and Buffalo. I suppose the complete name might have been "Tappara Winnipeg H" or something similar. Still, no "The" or plural form there.

Welcome RunDown....the more the merrier. Armia was having a great season until the injury I sure hope he picks up where he left off.

New Jets fan from Finland (Actually Tappara fan which is Patrick Laines home team) i'm really a Kings fan and could not think i could follow another team but this season i have watched every Jets game live from TV (been hard sometimes 2-3am on workdays but hey, gotta suffer for your enjoyment) my fave Jets players Big Buff and Patrick Laine offcourse, i like bit Morrissey also but everyone is great, its gonna be a great team in the future!

Hi all.

I've been lurking the forums regarding my favourite Finnish players Aho, Barkov and Laine for a while now and decided to make an account in case I get drunk and feel like posting.

Jets forums have given me the most reasons to lurk due to Laines impressive start of the season, though Aho has been amazing as well. Barkov had something of a slump early on, but he's been better as of late (although now he's injured). Too bad for the upcoming Jets - Panthers showdown!

In addition to Laine my favourite Jets are Big Buff, Armia and Scheifele. Big Buff because he's cool, good and rarely smiling, Armia because he's Finnish and good, Scheifele because he has pretty eyes. Ehlers is good too.
