7 years is a very long time.You can’t really expect people to continue to spends hundreds and thousands of dollars every year if there aren’t some good years. Right now I wouldn’t blame some not going to as many games if things don’t turn in the right direction.
This HF community is more emotionally invested than the casual fan agreed.These forums are not the pulse of the average fan or season ticket holder, this place is the other 15%. Spending any objective meaningful time here you realize there are all the same cast of characters as other forums. Without labeling said character; the opinions are very polarized...be they informed or not.
Chipman is not playing with fire, he has an asset to manage, and like any corporation is going to do what is best for that corporation and not, thankfully, run the team based on the opinions of the forums self professed gurus.
IMHO
Quite agree with you, SR. The mood here is distinctly more negative and downcast than in the mainstream. To me, it's like a giant PGT here, all the time, so I mostly stay away.These forums are not the pulse of the average fan or season ticket holder, this place is the other 15%.

I did not get that feeling at all.
Lets face it, we were lucky to get a team back.
Chipman said at the Jets Fan Fest their goal is to win a Stanley Cup.

The mood among my circle is still upbeat, as they see the Jets as an occasional diversion, recreation, something to laugh about, even after a loss. Much healthier that way.
There are plenty of season ticket holders here, myself included.^ I know. Basic cable is expensive.
I know who owns me. But what about the Winnipeg Jets. How much % do you think Chipman owns in TNSE? and how much Osmington?
Perhaps he means Tier 2 -3 fans much like Kevin Lowe did.There are plenty of season ticket holders here, myself included.

Arrogant attitudes like Kevin’s did him in too
My personal opinion has been launch Flaherty and Huddy since the Noel days. Our D has consistently left our goalies hanging out to dry (blown coverage or out of position) as Mason is now experiencing.This HF community is more emotionally invested than the casual fan agreed.
It’s the casual fan who can switch entertainment allegiances at the drop of the hat and that’s where Chipman ought to be concerned.
Seriously do you think it’s wise to keep running for example with Huddy and Flaherty?
Are they here because that are successful or are they here because they are buddies?
They will get rid of a player and one or more of the assitants before Mo.Honestly the comments in the article are taken out of context. I’m sure he knows the importance of making the playoffs this season. It’s on Chevy to swallow his pride and make moves to shake the team up should this continue. I honestly don’t see another way. Maurice HAS to go.
Chipman agreeing to extend Maurice and Chevy is setting this team back.
Clean house like Edmonton did when they got tired of their losing mentality.

My understanding, at least what has been publically said is that Mo has done exactaly what has been asked of him by Chevy & Chipman.
Attracting another coach is not going to be easy if we fire coaches for towing the party line. Remember, just like UFA players, we have to sell them on our market, team and location. Look how well that has gone in the past...this isn't a video game where you can plug in whatever pieces if they are available. Real life has a multitude of complexities that come into play.
Could you kindly point out where I said he was handcuffed or he was told to play specific systems? I am at a loss on where you might believe I inferred that.This is pure speculation. There is absolutely no proof of this and it’s simply hearsay. I doubt that Maurice would accept being told what to do in terms of systems or who to play. In the end it reflects on him and unltimately affects his career. I don’t buy that he’s handcuffed.
I hope he realizes that there are fans on the wait list, season ticket holders, AND fans who are neither who have concerns. It's not unique to non-season ticket holding fans.
That remark may be taken out of context, but if it's not, it is a bit concerning.
The secondary market is the canary in the coal mine, and it died two years ago.
We're now seeing the results.
This year marks the first year my dad isn't in a season ticket group, because it became too hard to get rid of tickets to games no one could make.
Make no mistake, demand has taken a steep nosedive
Don’t confuse a sold out building for happy customers. Please don’t fiddle while Rome burns because I want a SUCCESSFUL vibrant NHL franchise here for my kids to enjoy one day.
