Edmonton-residing Jets fan, I come in peace.
I don't think it's confidence, just trying to pump up the fans. And, lets face it, the OIlers are a perennial bottom-feeder team, and have been for several years. Now maybe this is the year they turn it around like the Isles did last year, but until they prove themselves, this is a game a bubble team like the Jets will circle as a "should win".
Not "will win" of course - anything can happen. But it's a game they should win if they want to make the playoffs.
I'll be rocking a Jets white tomorrow at the game, and I'm curious to see how many fellow Jets fans make the trip. Hopefully we can all just get along...
