The Jets Are Coming Back!!

[zamboni]

Hockey doesn't belong below the Mason Dixon, and the Atlanta Thrashers will be the Jets and hopefully by next seasons start. Great news!!

[scsavre]

And with them brings back the old norris division...........Wild, Blues, Hawks, wings.....

[OnAFly]

Last I heard no deal had been reached.

If they do move, are we going to have a year in the same division as the Jets before they reconfigure the conferences?

I would be nice to not have so many games in the Pacific Time Zone. Staying up til midnight for hockey is nuts.

It didn't sound like they would be called the Jets again either. I was told Manitoba Moose would be more likely. The Manitoba Moose of the AHL (who used to be the Minnesota Moose) may have to move again.

I hope to God this happens!!

I'm warming up to the idea of being a Winnipeg fan. I just couldn't get behind the Wild as much as other Minnesota teams.

Yeah, Brooksy, I'm in the same boat. Once the North Stars went to Texas, pro hockey was pretty much over for me. Does Texas need hockey, and does hockey need Texas? Not so much.

I've been all around Dallas a bunch of times. Big city, big attitude, big ego, small penis. No stars visible. Just saying.

On behalf of the hopefully soon to be new NHL franchise north of the 49th, I thank you for your support! Go Manitoba.....?????

Manitoba Moose? What the hell is that? Sounds like a whole team of enforcers with no one to put the puck in the net! Winnipeg Jets or bust!

Announcement yesterday in Winnipeg - the Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg to begin play next season.

Ice fishing Lake Winnipeg and catch a hockey game while we are there sounds like a great trip for next winter.

[cbrooks]

Will the name of the hockey team be the thrashers I wonder.

[OnAFly]

Looks like they are waiting to restructure the West until they get a new CBA in place. We have another year in the NW and the Jets (hopefully they keep the name!) will be in the SW that year as well.

Only one more year of having to watch games that start at 9:30PM! YEAH!

[brmuskie]

They will be in the SE division for next year at least. After that who knows.

The name will most likely change and they haven't announced anything yet but word is they are definitely considering the Jets.

I haven't been to an NHL game since the Jets left - maybe next year I will go back.

I stay up late so watching the games after the wife and kids have gone to bed is MINT!!! Same with the Twins I love the West coast swings in the summer no interuptions and if I'm out camping I can listen to them around the fire at night.....doesn't get much better than that.
