Couldn't help but think the same thing, outside of the "classless" part.
Look Winnipeg fans, it was cute when you used to boo Crosby or Ovechkin when you got your team back.. but it's time to stop. It's pointless and dumb, and you can bet Kane and Crawford don't care.
I mean, at one point, they booed Toews - and all he's done is bring the Cup back to the 'Peg twice in 4 years. I mean, seriously? Just dumb.
Jets fan here! Looking forward to the game tomorrow, should be a good rivalry. Hopefully we can put up a better game this time around!
On the booing, we really really love our hockey team here. We are a fairly small town, but almost everyone is a jets fan. It's our only major sport, so it gets a ton of attention.
We like to think we have the loudest fanbase, and try to bring it every game. Booing star players we have done since the franchise came back, and we've stuck with it. Even booed alfie last night with the wings in town.
Pretty much a sign of respect. Like Teows the other night, we all love him here, and cheer the **** out of him before the game, but when the puck drops we boo.
The goalie chant we have been doing pretty much every game stretching back into the AHL when we had the moose. I thought booing crawford when he was down was classless. Haven't seen anything like that before from the crowd. Usually try to keep it classy.
Anyways, i wouldn't much much stock in it! We do it because it's fun for us, and if we boo half your team, it probably means you're better than us.
See ya guys tomorrow!
