I will applaud. As most have come to realize, we didn't have an ownership group or any concrete plans for an arena back then, no matter what the team had to move. Plus as has been said, we have perhaps one of the best ownership groups in the league now. well said. LETS ALL CELEBRATE! and ENJOY it all ;D

So, when Bettman shows up to the Jets home opener, will he be booed by a bunch of unappreciative hooligans, or will he be applauded for enabling the instant turnover of the Thrashers into your hands as soon as it was apparent that the Coyotes were staying put another season? Boo him because it's in your blood? Cheer him for having hockey in Winnipeg? -TODD i kinda wish i would of got the home opener half of my season tickets but i will cheer Betman on , he should not get booed no way , the reason why the original Jets team franchise left was cause of the arena and ownership it had nothing to do with fans nothing it was just biz , people that boo him have gota be really stupid if you ask me .

No reason to Boo. In his own way he apologized by saying it was time to right a wrong. I want him to see how good Winnipeg is, how great we are as fans. see what the problem is that people can not let go of the past it really sucks

No. it's disrespectful to boo him now. With out his approval we wouldn't have the Jets. Plus, he half apologized for relocating the Jets. It's Water under the bridge. and plus it was not Betmans fault it came down to Biz , people just gota get there heads out of there buts and be happy

No. Best thing that happened for this city was the jets leaving, time and money were not right back in 96 and i think had the team been given a stay it would have left eventually. Ask yourself is this a better ownership situation now or the scramble backin 96? He attempts to save the jets back then look amateur to what we have now. Thank god for the 15 years chipman had to cut his teeth and become a great hockey owner. We are lucky to have this ownership group at this time. Bettman knows this is the greatest hockey market outside of toronto and montreal and only due to population difference. It was a matter of time, 96 was not the time, 2011 is. Screw the past , lets look ahead. Maybe just chant chipman when bettman steps on the ice instead. the only Pearson i that says some thing that makes sense , you are right we got to get our heads out of our buts and look to the future heck the past who needs it , this is a brand new team and it has nothing to do with the last team that was hear . Lets be happy we have the NHL back.

I won't boo Bettman, it will feel great to show how respectful and classy the fans in Winnipeg can be and to do the opposite of Canuck fans!

Cheer for him not boo him. He gave us a 2nd chance to have a NHL team back. Let's show how classy winnipeg can be. Let's show him that it was worth buying the thrashers and sending them to a hockey city. Ill be cheering for him. Even if its 14999 vs me. Haha.

Would normally boo, but if Chipman is asking for politeness, I think the most I can muster will be to do nothing at all. I have no doubt that he will be booed by at least half the general crowd, but I'll be courteous and simply watch on while not adding to the negativity.

At least he had the decency to shave that lousy excuse of a moustache he was sporting during the early CFL season, but his commercial break hosting/fan interviewing is quite annoying. To be fair, I do think his announcing abilities are top-notch, but on-screen stuff is the pits.
