I wore my Winnipeg Jets tie to docket court and nobody noticed.

Well one person noticed!

I picked my son up from his day home (I leave before he gets up).  After he yells 'daddy!' and gives me a hug, he looks at my tie.

He says "copeeko"' which is his interchangeable word for hockey in general or the Winnipeg Jets. Then he goes "nice copeeko" and gently stroke my tie!

Maybe they noticed but felt embarrassed for you and so they decided not to mention anything.

Why would they be embarrassed for him?  It's not like he's wearing Canucks gear, which is the same thing as saying 'I am a criminal and a hooligan.  Please arrest me before I riot again.'

Jets win!

And remarkably, they are not mathematicall eliminated yet.

They need to win their next four, and Washington needs to lose every one of their remaining games (plus Buffalo can only win one of their remaining games).

So there's still a chance...

I find your plethora of faith... disturbing!

Mathematically eliminated.

My Sharks are not faring much better.

There is a god.

#8 by 1 pts.  Hopefully, they make it

Sorry, BB, maybe next year will be yours
If the Coyotes move to Quebec, maybe they'll switch the Jets and Coyotoes from their respective divisions

Honestly the Jets would be better off continuin to play in the Southeast than to suddenly start playing in the Pacific.  The SEis only one hour earlier, while the pacific is 2 hours later (and none of the teams are all that close to one another).

Daly thanked the Phoenix fans for everything. Seems like we're getting another team in Qc for september.

Which would be great news for Mtl, and might have been an underlying reason behind Gauthier and Gainey's firing and bringing big Serge in the fold again.

Expect a lot more drafting of quebecers by the Canadiens, and not 4th line pluggers anymore. I can see them dealing for Huberdeau down in Florida, bringing Lapierre back from Vancouver too.

What's the story about Daly?  I do agree that all signs are pointing to a returnof the Nords.

"a lot more drafting of Quebecers" - I'd love to see it, becauseif you're drafting for geography/language you're not drafting for talent.    The Jets have shown an interest in trying to bring in Manitoba and surrounding area players, but aren't exactly 'paying any price' to do so.

[Zoupa]

You're drafting for heart. In 93, half the team was pepper.

Something special happens to quebecers when they put on that jersey, especially in the playoffs. You can see it too in players born elsewhere, like with Kovalev in 2008 or Cammalleri in 2010, but the fact remains qcers have that extra gear in the playoffs for the habs.

I'll be able to enjoy Chara putting froggies into that pole in the next few years. 

[Zoupa]

Chara is a slovak that broke the neck of an american. Zombie Davout is: disappointed.
