The Winnipeg "Team" Appreciation Thread.

I'm a huge fan of Mika but I don't seem him as the pick for you. It's gonna be Strome or Hamilton. Maybe Couturier.

 

[Mooche]

Yeah, the sale was officially confirmed. Winnipeg is GUARANTEED to have NHL hockey. No ifs, ands or buts.


Bring on this draft dammit.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

They should not make a formal announcement to name the team, and name it while they are drafting, and shock everyone. Be kinda cool.

"With the 7th overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft, the Winnipeg Jets select..."

 

[Mooche]

That'd be really cool actually. I just want to know the name, see the logo, etc. as soon as possible.

I want to start buying merchandise for the team.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I want to get a jersey. Probably a Kane.

TSN is doing their mock draft, and Pierre had you guys take Hamilton at 7. Craig Button said your biggest need is centre though.

 

[Oiler35]

When you think about, they technically have to have all the shit ready, what jersey are they going to give the player that they draft?

Plus it's going to be awkward as hell when we are called upon. "Team Winnipeg, you are now on the clock"

 

[Phil The Thrill]

This was also talked about. The player picked is going to wear a jersey with the NHL logo on it.

So stupid. Just get this shit done already.

 

[Mooche]

Like I said. I heard from a pretty legit source here that they are deciding between Falcons and Jets.

 

[Oiler35]

Jets. Anything but the Jets is unacceptable.

 

[Mooche]

Yeah, well.. Honestly if it's going to be another name I wouldn't mind the Falcons. I want the Jets obviously.

Falcons > Polar Bears though.

 

[TTN2810]

It would be sweet to surprise us.
MTS would go insane if it was the Jets aha.

 

[Mooche]

Regardless of what they do. I hope they keep the blue/red/white colour scheme at the very least.

 

[TTN2810]

Too many teams have that already, and they already said they don't want to step on other teams toes.
IDK man.

Either way, they said they're going to announce the coach and name this weekend.
If that's Friday night, we don't know.

 

[Mooche]

Yeah it's basically down to a two man race for the coaching spot. I'm so glad it is NOT MacTavish. Dude is a bum.

Go Jets Go... I hope. <3

 

[JKG33]

the way I see it, theres no way it can't be the jets at this point. If its anything else, especially the moose, people will go crazy. It won't be pretty.

I wouldn't mind falcons I guess. Jets is a big #1 though.

 

[Mooche]

I really think Manitoba Moose is out of the picture. I hated that name and colour scheme.. Always seemed so tacky to me personally.

 

[JKG33]

yea I agree. They would end up being one of those teams that has to change their logo and jersey at least every 5 years if it was the moose (Buffalo, Vancouver)

Im sure we'll see an updated Jets look, hopefully with the blue, red and white.
