The shots against the city of Winnipeg is not anti-Winnipeg Jets sentiment.
Not everyone is going to agree with Winnipeg supporters. Get used to it.
I've got more news for you, if Winnipeg succeeds in getting a club, most posters on this forum are going to hate the Jets. Are Jets fans going to whine about that too?

I'm a little confused by your post.
First you say there is no anti-Jets sentiment but your last statement says that lots of Calgary fans hate the Jets?
While some people in this thread talk about realistic hurdles in Winnipeg in terms of ownership and feasibility, others hate the Jets the same way they hate the Oilers or Canucks and aren't using any logic when talking about how Winnipeg is a hellhole and that the team will fail.
It will be tough for the Jets to succeed in Winterpeg. Least attractive FA market in the NHL, small-ish arena, not a rich city by any means. On the other hands it'll be a rabid hockey market, add a great rivalry for the Flames and give us another Canadian team and stop the Coyotes from losing $30m a season. It really is a toss-up IMO.
