She hanging anywhere in town, or was she used as firewood?

OK, someone has to ask, what's a Jets fan doing in NW Montana?

Guess I should be a Calgary fan, eh?

On the Right Path

Nice story on Grant Clitsome. Glad to see he is doing ok, considering the problems many players have had post retirement due to a significant injury.

Was there ever any thought on using the the old jerseys in 2011 or was this just a one off?

From what I understand Mark Chipman wanted to use the name "Polar Bears" with these jerseys.

True North changed their minds and went with the Jets.

With so little time to develop a logo and produce uniforms I think True North just slapped the new Jets logo on a re-purposed Polar Bears jersey.

MTforestry · Dec 11, 2019

So the pic of Buff was taken in that jersey because they had nothing else at the time?

It was actually going to just be “Bears” but Boston was putting up a stink, so it made the change to Jets a lot easier

Yes.

It's to bad they didn't stay more true to the old color scheme at least, ie: red pants/helmet.

JetsNut · Dec 11, 2019

I would be fine with our current logo on the heritage colours. Would look amazing.

Also heard that the other name that came close to becoming a realization was the Winnipeg Falcons.

Boy, Hellebuyck sure took over the goaltending lead in short order.

We've never had a proper franchise goalie before - Essensa was good but not around long enough
The SV% and GAA stats make sense because back in the day way more goals got scored

Bob E · Dec 12, 2019

I was thinking wins, but you’re right about the SV% and GAA. Two very different eras.

Doesn’t seem like Hellebuyck has been a starter that long, but has easily taken over the wins total, in a season and career.

I think the same could be said of Khabibulin. He was only around Winnipeg for his first couple of years in the league, but he went on to have a solid NHL career.

Guardian17 · Dec 12, 2019

While Smail never got a Stanley Cup ring, he does own two records that perfectly exemplify the type of hard-working player he was throughout his career.
In a game against the St. Louis Blues on Dec. 20, 1981, Smail scored five seconds into the contest — setting a new NHL record.
He now shares the record with Bryan Trottier and Alexander Mogilny.
After 11 seasons with the Jets, Smail is also the franchise leader in short-handed goals, with 25.

Doug Smail was initially ignored by NHL clubs, but the small winger's detour to UND paid big dividends
