Was it ever though? It's the media and fans that really built up the Winnipeg hockey bandwagon. The NHL shown they're fully committed to keeping franchises in their current spot if at all possible. It's the whole 'deal done/not done' though that people jumped on saying it's a sure bet that Winnipeg is getting a team again.
This still isn't over yet. This thing has dragged on so long I have no idea when it's safe to call it either way. It won't be until it's officially declared that Phoenix and Atlanta will keep their team for the meantime that we can breathe a little bit. Then Jets fans will probably look for another club to prowl away...
