10 years and... now 17 days since the Winnipeg Jets have played hockey in the NHL. April 28th, 1996, the Jets lost the Detroit Red Wings in game 6, the last game ever for the Winnipeg Jets.
I remember very fondly going to the old barn.. the huge portrait of the queen... yellow paint everywhere... the dancing hot dog and terrible cartoon renderings of the Jets players on the aging scoreboard. Ill miss the White Noise the most... the amazing White Out... and some of the greatest hockey fans on Earth. Still miss you a lot Jets.
God how can a hockey team that hasn't existed in 10 years still get me choked up.
