Selling tickets. Look at available tickets going fairly far ahead and there are not nearly as many to choose from as there were last year.
This is a really fun team to watch. If you are just looking for in game experience every game I’ve been to this season has been worth the price of admission. I’m 4-0 out scoring the opposition 25-11. That is fun nights in the barn even with grossly inflated liquor prices.

even Laine's circumstance was far different than PLD. Laine was legitimately a sweet person who was struggling with mental health issues and toxicity. Not saying PLD has suffered zero mental health issues, but everything suggests he's an entitled opulent freak.
First, had to look up opulent.

Then I had to look up ostentatious - which was in the definition of opulent.

I learned two things today haha.

Tkachuk would be long gone from Winnipeg already if we drafted him. No chance he would have stayed.

Plus without drafting Laine, we would not have Vilardi, Iafallo or Kupari today. Not to mention how much fun Laine was for fans his first two seasons.

In hindsight I am glad we were able to snag Laine and not Tkachuk. If given a redo I would make the same pick 10/10 times.

Well I don't think the Jets would have bridged Tkachuk after his ELC, that's what Flames did and what ended up resulting in them losing him.

To many what ifs
What if we won the lottery that year instead the Leafs and we gotten Matthews and Leafs ended up with Laine
Schief would the #2 center. That would solve our center problem

If Jets won the lottery that year and got Matthews I think Jets are the 17-18 Stanley Cup champions and probably a dynasty.

Just a heads up. While I have created a GDT for the game against the Penguins on Friday, I have come up completely blank for the Saturday game against Nashville...

I have ideas, but none are coming together. If someone could make a GDT for the Nashville game, I would appreciate it...:thumbu:
Plain Jane it is then. :thumbu:

He would have headed south by now. I don't think mommy being from Winnipeg or daddy being a Jets alumni would have made him commit here long term. However, perhaps we would have won the cup in 2018 with him in the line up?
I don't know about that. At the time Laine was filling the net, lethal on the pp and a force to be reckoned with. I think he was the better player at the time.

It was a tossup between Laine and Pulujarvi... Jets were hot for finns - lets not delude ourselves

In a dream world, the Jets walked away from 2016 with Tkachuk, Tage thompson and Alex deBrincat - that would have solved our offence woes

One positive side effect of the expensive beer prices at the arena is that beer prices on the golf course in the summer seem positively reasonable. I do sincerely appreciate the STH discount on beer.

Maurice did said the Jets are the best skating team they have played this year.
Every game should be sold out very entertaining never a boring moment.
