Winnipeg Jets History

[cheswick]

I saw this as well. Lots of continuity problems since the Sharks didn't exist, the Jets didn't wear white on the road, there was no Jet that wore #80 until Antropov in the 2.0 days & Tim Kerr played RW not LW.

Biggest problem was referring to Tim Kerr as a good skater when his career was defined standing as an immovable presence in the slot.

lol. That show plays fast and loose with continuity. One episode they were talking about the NFL and a two point conversion which wasn't adopted by the league til the mid 90's.

Classic Jets made an appearance in the sitcom the goldbergs tonight. The show takes place in the 80s and they went to a Flyers game against the Jets. Just showed a couple of jets players getting hit and the guy yelling “you suck Winnipeg Jets”.

Saw this last night as well.

I checked a bunch of threads and did not see this mentioned so I started a thread.

I did not check out this thread.

I think Murray Goldberg would be a great replacement for Dennis Beyak or Paul Edmonds for doing PBP. He's a good yeller. I could listen to him yell all day.

Former Winnipeg Jet Serge Savard likes the Jets for the Stanley Cup.

That last sentence makes it seem like he goes for which of his two former teams is better Nice to hear though, it's cool that we're even in the conversation

Yeah... his view of the Jets seems more Sportsnet-friendly though.

Did the scary upper deck downhill many times with a beer in both hands

 

[Channelcat]

That deck was ummmm something else.

 

[Ducky10]

The upper deck was my second home in University.

$11.00 student tickets, those were the days.

Sadly, I could barely afford those when I first moved to Winnipeg in 1993 to attend Red River College, I think it may have been more like $15 though for student upper deck tickets. I did manage to get to a few games though before the student loans would run out mid-term .

They started at $11.00 my first year of Uni and rose to $15.00 by the end.......crazy.

Now I am happier than a pig in shit to pay 3 times that for my P7 upper deck season ticket per game. How things change

 

[10Ducky10]

I can remember complaining that beer was 3.25-3.50 and tonight I'll be paying 10.50 and not complaining a bit. (actually, I bought the tickets so my better half is buying the beer tonight...she's worried). No Mount Everest to climb with the beer tonight though.
I don't believe in jinxes so I gotta say, I don't go to many games but I have yet to see the Jets 2.0 lose.

i never remember having that much elbow room at the trough
i also have a distinct memory of accidentally walking into the women's bathroom at the Arena. was probably 8 at the time.

 

[Skidooboy]

i will complain about the beer prices....I'll still pay them...but I'll complain.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Damn....Serge is lookin' good. Dude is 72

Two minutes for lookin' so good Serge. Grecian Formula.

 

[Ducky10]

Oh man those graphics and transitions.......hilarious!!

Not to mention those sweet CBC blazers!

Here's a nice one showing the steepness of the upper deck at the old Winnipeg Arena. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

Excellent view of about 2/3 of the ice from there lol. I remember my first Jets game I attended in 1991, I was a tad disappointed with my view from up there. I also saw more than few people stumble carrying beer and hot dogs.

Those upper deck seats were kinda terrifying during a concert. I can recall a couple of concerts (Guns n' Rose in 1993 and AC-DC in 1997) that I sat in the uppers and it felt like the upper decks would collapse due to everyone rockin' out and it shaking and vibrating.
