haha! Well I don't care about helmets but I think its a regulation.
So do most Jets fans actually live in Winnipeg itself?

Winnipeg doesn't really have sprawling distant exurban suburbs in the way that a U.S. city would have, if that's what you mean. It's all one lump, with the city itself comprising around 90% of the "metropolitan area" population, which in any event is only about 750,000 people in total. I'd guess that a typical Winnipegger would be within at most 25-30 minutes drive (non-rush hour) of 90% of the other people in the city. So if you said, let's go skating, it would indeed be feasible for many of the people on this board to show up 45 minutes later, wherever you were in the city. I'm in Toronto, where such invitations wouldn't make much sense, and I certainly miss this aspect of life in Winnipeg.
Makes sense. I was wondering why so many people were able to show up at that one location the night the report was in the Globe and Mail that a deal had been done to bring the Thrashers to Winnipeg.
PS I love Georgia (and the rest of the South for that matter). Can't wait to head back there in May on my way to Miami.
Yea I'm with you Bro.....other than the traffic Atlanta is beyond spectacular.

Atlanta is beautiful (it was SO hot when I was there last May), and I was so surprised how gorgeous Tennessee is. Nashville is amazing but the friggin Appalachians are stunning!
