I will be watching more what everything looks like off the ice...............
From what I have seen so far since the Jets return. Everything True North has done has been FAST, albeith sloppy, and not much creativity (logo, mascot, gameday presentation etc)
The most important part of the Jets return is how the presenation is. I understand CBC is dictacting the program until 4:15. But TNSE has to go all out. They need to (though they probably won't) bring back former Jets, coaches, avco cup, bobby hull)
They should get rid of the moose banners and put up the old Jets banners on Sunday. They should have a wicked video, audio presenation.
I just feel TNSE lacks imagination and what could be a spectacle will end up being a hurry and short celebration then puck drop.
I think not having a whiteout is such a huge mistake. Why would you spend 15 years wanting back in the NHL pretending you are a big city and then on the biggest day in the history of the city you make a statement ''we are not the old jets, we are the new jets'' -- new tradition,etc. but TNSE continues to honor the Moose.
I hope they have great game-day traditions. Like the Coyotes with the howling - we should have jet sounds.
Just hope TNSE goes all out!

to add,
i'm tired of Gary Lawless and Geoff Currier talk about Jets this, Jets that when they aren't even true Winnipegers. These guys since May said the team won't be called Jets for the reason that it's the past. They continue to distance themselves from the idea that JETS v1.0 was the most important thing for this city and everything should continue into the new era.
I get a sense that those 2 are members of a large gathering that feel left out in what they have been hearing about the Jets of old and are trying to make themselves feel better by saying ''who cares about the past Jets, this is now'
Cause they have shut up about the name since then. But Gary keeps going in a rant that the White Out is a stupid idea.

I'm sure the pre-game will be amazing. I think everything tnse has done has been first rate. I'm not worried about the pre-game ceremony, I'm thinking about how the team is going to perform on the ice.

You probably wish the Eaton's building was still standing and we didn't have a new arena!
Another whining, crying baby!

Where to start here? I will be watching more what everything looks like off the ice............... From what I have seen so far since the Jets return.

I hope they have great game-day traditions. Like the Coyotes with the howling - we should have jet sounds. Just hope TNSE goes all out! Highlited in red is where I disagree. 1- Yes TN has been working fast and furious to get things done but I strongly disagree that anything has been done "sloppy" or "without creativity" The logo is awesome, they couldn't have done it any better. 2- Other than 6yr olds, who the hell cares how "creative" the mascot is? 3- The most important thing about the Jets return is just that...they've returned. Presentation means nothing compared to that. TN doesn't NEED to bring back anyone. The game's going to be great without any of that. 4 - How does TN lack imagination? Based on what? 3 preseason games? Give it some time. They'll do fine. 5- Whiteout has been beat to death, not interested in starting that debate again. Prepare to be disapointed on Sunday. 6- Lastly, the Coyote howl at Phoenix game is THE WORST game day tradition in the NHL. That thing is so bloody annoying. I bet if they got rid of it, people might actually go to the games. You can worry about the presentation all you want. I didn't pay a lot of money to do anything but watch the team on the ice. Everything else is filler. |

You need to rethink your theories?
Nobody pays 100 dollars to a game just for the game. Hockey can be so boring, and in fact if I went to the Vancouver vs Pittsburgh game last night. WOW that is painful. That is what will happen here in Winnipeg. When games are boring, the only thing that will keep people coming back is the tradition of the game day atmosphere.
So again, rethink what it's going to be like away from the game.
TNSE aside from Chipman I don't care one bit for. I think they do everything half ass. The jerseys are horrible. The logo is dumb. You like the logo people around the world laught at it.
So you laugh at the Coyotes howling, well it's great for them. In fact it's a big martketing thing for them.
If I go to the game on Sunday and just end up watching a game. TNSE needs to go to school on how to run a game day.

No one pays $100 to a game just for the game? 'nuff said. #feedingthetrollsorry |
