News Article: The lonely existence of Winnipeg Jets fans in Atlanta

[ps241]

I follow a Thrasher page on FaceBook and man are there some very bitter former Thrashers on there. I understand their beef, but good Lord. Winnipegers aren't responsible for the AJC's inner workings.

Most of them were pulling hard for Nashville too.

I don't blame them. Its f***ing brutal losing your team, its the worst thing I have gone through as a sports fan. Its not Winnipeg's fault that Thrashers ownership was a gong show but at the end of the day we have the team now and there is bound to be collateral anger.

I don't blame thrashers fans for being angry at the Jets. Nashville also did a great job to appeal to them.

I really appreciate the people that followed the team from there though.

Well said.

If this team wins a cup, it will be absolutely incredible for any Jets 2.0 fan but especially so for those Jets 1.0 fans who suffered so much as well as those Thrasher fans who suffered and stood by the team after it reincarnated into Jets 2.0

It's already better, having sat through being swept by the Rangers in the first round.

F'n Sean Avery, you weasel!! I still wish the zebras had let Kovy get a hold of him instead of stopping it.
