Harry it was all done last year
As TNSE was literally minutes away from owning the Coyotes
Logo name jerseys are all done according to the local media (gary lawless)
I hope not. I want Kurt Keilback back. He lives in Winnipeg selling real estate so why not?

do you honestly think the BoG all get together in some big room and vote? Most of this stuff is done via teleconference. Mark Chipman isn't going in there with poster boards and spreadsheets and making some kind of presentation.

He lost his job covering the Thrashers, Thrashers likely moving to Winnipeg, job continues with Braves.
or
He lost his job with the radio, Thrashers likely moving to Winnipeg, no job means not working with Braves.
or
He lost his job with the radio, Thrashers likely moving to Winnipeg, Evans is also moving to Winnipeg with the team!
He's not "likely Winnipeg bound", the Thrashers are. Note the lack of any punctuation.

Been there, done that! Chipman made his presentation a few years back to the brass in NYC.

No.
This has been addressed multiple times in the Atlanta and Winnipeg threads.
The BoG can deal with this and vote on it via conference call.
A special meeting can be called at any time by the Commissioner, Chairman of the BoG, or by request of any three teams - the only requirement is a 7 day notice and the publishing of the agenda. This meeting may take place as a conference call.

Actually thats been up a couple months
I saw it one day leaving work and was like wtf? Haha
Just pilot motivation. Nothing more.
Perhaps it was paid for by TSNE - Jets name begone.
Love it!
Does anyone know if there is any truth to the MTSC being renamed Westjet Centre, as has been speculated?

I have not heard this
Nothing can be changed until the naming rights run out.
I don't know how long that agreement was supposed to run

Ive heard that as well. We could call it "The Hangar". And we could call Portage
Ave "The Runway".

Agreed. On slow news days like today and a few other times, people turn to the name debate and they are still in the news.
Then again, I'm a Mets fan, and am used to ownership doing things a$$ backwards from what makes sense.

The logo at the bottom makes me think the billboard was something clever cooked up by Pattison Advertising Group while waiting for their next client wanting to buy that space. I think it's worked a little too well... everyone loves it so much no one wants to see it go! Well, that, and various businesses are jumping on the "we support the return of the NHL to Winnipeg" bandwagon in one way or another.
Yes, that is what is the billboard is. I only posted it tongue in cheek for comedic relief in this long standing debacle.
