What a way to start my Saturday. Woke up to watch the Liverpool match at 7am. A nil nil up until the 98th minute, during a crucial title race, where every point dropped could mean the league changing hands. Looking like a certain draw, when The Mighty Reds score to win in stoppage time, literally at the last possible moment. Elation.
Was a task for the Jets to follow the drama of that viewing experience. When they went down 3 and the 2nd ended, I'll be honest, I was not feeling like the boys would turn it around. Little bits of doubt started to creep in about their mettle. After a disappointing loss to Dallas, with the postseason looming, maybe they aren't up to snuff?
Nah.
The Winnipeg Jets proved most of us wrong today.
That's a win we would not have seen last campaign. Here's where the Jets were almost the same time a year ago

An embarrassing stretch of losses ending February and beginning March. Bare butts being spanked over bended knee. Optimism within the fanbase eroding.
Today was a day that proved you still have to hold on to belief. Yes, allowing yourself to believe makes it even harder to take if the boys don't make it to the promised land in the end. But, the fate of this team is beyond control of us mere mortals.
The only thing to do is enjoy the ride.
That's why this is going out to
our Winnipeg Jets. They played like they were...
You get a leather jacket! And you get a leather jacket!
Let's go Jets fans! Anything is possible!
