WOOHOO Winnipeg just bought an NHL team, even though I no longer live there, I grew up watching the Jets play, so its cool to see them back.  Atlanta sucks for franchises haha.....well except for NFL.

GO JETS!:awehigh:

Yes, I know hippie American's don't like hockey, but I had to announce the exciting news anyways!!!:rockon:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2011/05/31/sp-nhl-winnipeg.html



My dad owns a box with another company, so I can sit in a corporate box and look down at the peasants while I bask in the glory of one of the most violent organized sport.

Nice to check the sports form for my thread :cryariver:

Nah jking...so since it looks like your the only other person who gives a shit, what do you think? Jets or new name?

Will they be placed in the Eastern or Western conference, and if the Western, who is gonna move to the East? New Divisions maybe?

They'll be in the same division as Atlanta for the upcoming season because they don't have enough time to organize the switch, then they'll probably go into the northwest division.  It'll be funny being in the South-East division, lots of flying and going from incredibly cold to incredibly hot over and over.

:awelol:

As for the name, I think they should go with the Jets, everyone loved the name and all the classic jerseys everyone's wearing.  I'd prefer the Jets but if they call them the Moose I can live with it.  I think they want to sell the Moose to Thunderbay or the east coast, but can't for another year.  So both teams will play in the arena for a year, or at least that's what I read a few weeks ago.

The moose..Manitoba Moose are awesome, favorite team name :awesomenod:

I think they should have moved them to Manitoba, and been called the Manitoba Mammoths (idk if there's any team named that, just something catchy I came up with but it sounds legit)

Winnipeg is in the province of Manitoba.  (Maybe I read that wrong)

The Moose we're always pretty sweet, always got far into the playoffs.  They're Canucks farm team and got guys like Bieksa and the backup goalie Shnieder or whatever.

Calling it a Manitoba team might help, since there is a smaller city called Brandon and they'd be bigger fans if it was a province wide team.  But man, there's a lot of support for the name Jets.

They're going to upgrade the new arena too to add more seating, even though its only about 10 years old it's short about 1000 seats to be NHL worthy.  I always wondered why they didn't make it a little bit bigger to attract the NHL.  The football stadium is the same deal, its cold as fuck but they didn't bother buying a stadium with a dome, its only partially domed around the sides to cover the fans not the field.

Anyways, I'm glad they're back.  We we're all incredibly disappointed when they left.  It was hard to keep a team that barely made the playoffs though.  They were doomed from the start, because when they joined the NHL their super team from the WHL was broken up and the players left for different teams except for bobby hull and a few others.

Now the new co-owner, Thompson, is one of the richest people in the world, and he said he won't mind losing money.  He just wants the Jets back.  Chipman too, he owns most of the car dealerships in town, so he owes the city.  Chipman made it happen too, by purchasing a new arena downtown, and bringing a very popular Moose team to town.  Moose had one of the highest fan bases in the AHL too, so it shouldn't be that hard to dish out an extra 50 bucks for NHL tix.

Winnipeg has a huge tokefest outside the legislature building every year haha...



The winters are long and cold, but the summers rock and the beaches rule.  Some of the nicest fresh water beaches, and the fishing is great too.  I like Winnipeg and Manitoba.  Its just gets a bad rap because it gets very cold sometimes in the winter.:shrug:  But that just makes for better outdoor skating, once you get skating you warm up fast.  There's an outdoor rink every few blocks, its such a crazy hockey town.

Quiet you!  Toss on some 95% deet that melts plastic but deters ticks and mosquitos, drive on the highway in hail to get a new paint job, twisters are fun and not as intense as those US ones, and the flooding is fun and gets the whole community involved.

Steinbach is the automotive city!  Man I saw that Steinbach commercial for 10 years and it never changed.  It's forever stuck in my head.

The cold isn't that bad anymore, with remote car starters and heated seats n shit these days.  It's a little long, but if you go on holidays in Jan or Feb it makes it a little more bearable.

I live on the BC coast now, so I brag to my family non stop about how sweet it is here, but I still miss the Peg.  The people are super friendly, the nightlife is wild, and even though the summer is short, people really take advantage of it with folkfest and lake winnipeg and shit.

Ya its a bit of a shithole, but its improved a lot over the last decade.  It's not as bad as the rep. 

Whalers?  That was Buffalo NY lol.......But we do have Hudson Bay which is full of Whales.  I don't think anyone hunts the whales, they're a tourist attraction.  We don't let the japs into the bay to kill our whales.:crankey:

It's called Jets because of some history of aviation, I'm too lazy to look into it.:ifyoucanawe:

One of the good things about Winnipeg...

In terms of income, Winnipeg ranks No. 5 among Canada's major cities. The jobless rate has dropped from 8.3 per cent when the Jets left in 1996 to five per cent in 2011. In addition, the average household income has jumped to $63,000.

5% unemployment is decent, not many cities with 800,000 people can claim that.

FUCK WINNIPEG!

God damnit, how many hockey teams are we going to lose to Canada?!

The deal is 99% done, it just has to be approved by the NHL Board of Governors at a meeting on June 21, 2011. But the NHL is getting $40,000,000 for a relocation fee so it's gonna go through.

R.I.P.
Atlanta Flames (1972–1980)

Atlanta Thrasers (1999-2011?)

:facepalm:


Hockey was born in Canada. Besides that four of the first original six teams
were from America. This is better for hockey. Hockey is never going to be as
big as the NFL or NBA or MLB in this country anyways so no need to push it on
people and cities who want no part of it or could care less about the sport.

That's for true

Quote:

On January 22, 2011, the team's ownership claimed they had lost $130 million in the last six years, partially as a result of an ongoing lawsuit with former partner, Steve Belkin.




Quote:

The malpractice suit recounts a split that occurred in 2005, when Belkin objected to the Atlanta Hawks' trade of Boris Diaw, two first-round draft picks and a $4.9 million trade exception to the Phoenix Suns for guard Joe Johnson, who had agreed to a $70 million contract.

The other owners sought to buy Belkin's 30 per cent stake in the venture and assigned King & Spalding to negotiate an appraisal process that would give the disgruntled shareholder a "fair and reasonable" value while protecting the other co-owners' interests, the lawsuit said.

But the suit claimed King & Spalding flubbed its responsibilities with, among other things, a loose definition of "fair market value" that gave Belkin an inflated stake. It then tried to conceal the truth and minimize its legal exposure after discovering the malpractice, according to the suit, leaving the other owners bogged down in litigation.

"Instead of quickly buying out their co-owner's interest for a fair price in the fall of 2005, plaintiffs were tied up in litigation for five years, operation of the Atlanta Hawks and the Atlanta Thrashers was impaired, and title to the franchises was clouded," it said.

It's not even that attendance is terrible, it's partially cause the ownsers are a bunch of shitheads.

Tom Glavine was saying he would be down to start a group to own the Thrashers, but I haven't heard anything more about that.

Thats what makes it even more pathetic,the fan base is there but they lose out due to mismanagement by owners that only care about the dollar and not about the game itself

Hahaa nice, good to see everyone hates Bettman not just Canadians.

It is sad because the owners sucked.  The team has potential, and a ton of room to buy players since it was way below the spending cap.  They got the 7th round for the upcoming draft in the fall.  Evander Kane is really good, Ladd, Antropov, Dustin Byfuglien and Enstrom on D.  So when they build around that, it should be an excellent team.

I feel for the fans, but they have to be loyal through the good and bad.:shrug:  Although they never won a game in the playoffs, so obviously their management and owners sucked ass.  I wouldnt have gone to games either.

My uncle was on CBC during the Stanley Cup final haha, they interviewed him at the MTS center in Winnipeg about tickets.  My dad and uncle bought a box with another company, 14 seats or some shit.  And hotties who bring food and booze non stop.:awegroove:

So every time I visit the peg I'll be up in the corporate boxes!:rockon:

i know they tore down the old one and then just built that one a few years ago.. i think that the new one is smaller than the required number of seats for an NHL team..

I'm just bitter because we're losing another hockey team to Canada. And no, the Thrashers weren't great but they were an NHL team so it brought NHL games to Atl. Now we finally got a decent lineup, and the owners, beings the shitheads they are, can't make sense of anything that's not a basketball. Fuck them.

I don't blame you all the fans got tooled on that deal and it's probally going to be a long time before you get another NHL team.On another note I thought game one sucked balls on both Vancouver and Boston's part,the only light was the goaltending on both teams
