I actually agree with you, but I also think you'll find most people who remembered and watched the Jets are not the same as the trolls on Jetsowner or here. Most of us just love hockey, picked up new teams and carried on. If hockey came back here we would embrace it and it would be awesome. Winnipeg failed for a variety of reasons, the Free Press did an excellent story 5 years ago about the last year of the Jets and what happened for them to fail and why the Save The Jets campaign failed.
The one thing I can't stand the most is in fact that Jetsowner site, not only are most of the people on there too young to have even seen a Jets game, they examine every minute statement as if Gary Bettman and Phoenix were the Da Vinci Code.
Do I think the NHL would work in Winnipeg? Yes, with this ownership I do. That being said if it doesn't happen I will continue to follow the roller coaster ride of being a Flames fan.
