TNSE Efforts to Acquire an NHL Team Part X: Status... Complete???

[Gump Hasek]

Don't expect as much participation in this thread from Winnipeg fans as the day wears on; we are now officially otherwise occupied for the balance of the day & evening.

The police have even said they'd ignore the open container laws today at the party at The Forks, as long as one does not openly flaunt it. The party starts now.



UPDATE: We may need to fly in additional beer supply.

Congrats from Montreal! You guys deserve it. Just make sure to show up in great numbers

I would personally carry all the equipment to Winnipeg if that were the case!!

Lol the only people that wouldn't want the leafs to move to winnipeg are people in winnipeg

Welcome to the Division Winnipeg. I don't really seeing us grow to hate each other though since you're only here for a year.

The NHL brass are on their way to Winnipeg

/heard it here first.

They just entered Canada (and soon to be practically right above me). I hope no one's going to shoot them down.

ETA: Has the Air Force scrambled the jets yet?

Congrats, Winnipeg. It's difficult for it to happen this way, but at least someone wins here.

Well, if they were claiming they knew it all along because of insider info, then yeah, probably BS. But you're forgetting that Strachen was onto this thing two years ago, was he not? This isn't some secret that came out of left field.

Speaking as a jetsowner member, I always thought it would be Phoenix returning, but nobody could have predicted the stubborness of the parties there to keep losing money. But I am happy to be wrong, as Atlanta is just as dreadful (financially) and the league will be much better without a perennial money-loser there, too.

Unrelated but, is your username from a Song of Ice and Fire? Stannis lost, man.

Fixed.

Free breakfast sandwiches at Subway and a return of the NHL to Winnipeg = best day ever.

Throw in the U2 concert tomorrow and that makes it the best week ever!

It's tomorrow in Edmonton

I'm going to the show. I'm a long-time Canadian Thrashers fan, so I'm overjoyed by this move. I may have a new job that pays a lot more than my current job, and I just got back from vacation. Damn, life is good right now.
