Just wanted to send a quick update and a sincere thank you to all the Winnipeg fans that made this trip pretty awesome. Friday, when the Jets hosted the Blackhawks, I attended my 28th different NHL arena (29th would follow the following afternoon in Minnesota) and first in Winnipeg. Two guys walking around in Thrashers jerseys certainly got a lot of attention and we got our fair share of strange looks and questions. Every single time we told people that we were Thrashers fans that made the trip that morning from Atlanta, the response we got was unbelievable. From pre-game at the Pint to post-game at the Pint I don't think we paid for a round of beers. The fans were quick to buy us a round, chat about the game we all love, and wonder why the hell we flew all the way up to Winnipeg for a game.
Special thanks to PS241 for the "Atlanta discount" on the seats.. Great view and great atmosphere.
Also, where was the warning that post-game The Pint turned from an NHL bar to a dance club where the ladies rivaled almost any Vegas club??
