How about we pack Tim Campbell, Scott Taylor, Darren Dreger and Wheeler in a u-haul and trade them for a cactus when the trucks hit Phoenix, turn around, and come rolling north with our team.

And another thing... I think it is absolutely brutal how the local media has treated Darren, when all he was trying to do was start a conversation about bringing our team back. That's it! He didn't want money, or fame, just a team that most of us in the Peg wanted back so desperately. And all those negative comments. As I said, we remember, and we are consumers! Darren got more respect from out of town media outlets than his own city! The Fan960 in Calgary have thought the Jets could have and should have been back years ago, and have had Darren chat with them on many occasions and they respected what he had to say, and supported the idea. So shame on you Power 97, and shame on you CJOB! But we will all remember.... This is true and I agree. I think a lot of it came from fear. Fear that the NHL would somehow again cost taxpayers millions of dollars and fear that we are not good enough as a city. Thankfully, not everyone let's fear rule their life. Fear is the mind killer.

I agree and to further that I felt they were directly insulting me when they tossed aside the idea the NHL will return or when the dissed this website.

Fear that the NHL would somehow again cost taxpayers millions of dollars and fear that we are not good enough as a city. Thankfully, not everyone let's fear rule their life. Fear is the mind killer. I agree. I have talked to many people about ROTJ, and I would say that at least 50% of them continue to believe that the NHL won't work on Winnipeg given that we had already lost a team. Fear of taxpayer burden, and I also think fear of "Getting their hopes up" and getting disappointed. Bob Irving was at the funeral I believe, and since CJOB had broadcast rights to the Jets, they probably knew a lot of what was going on behind the scenes... which is probably why CJOB & Power have taken the negative stance that they have at ROTJ. Times are different now. When the NHL returns, I'm going to ask the 50% that didn't believe and ask them what they think...I bet their opinion of the NHL in winnipeg will have taken a complete 180.

If we get the Thrashers... They are replacing Wheeler. And they don't even need a microphone.

I dont know if pretending to "Own an NHL franchise" is true but maybe pretending to discover Mark Chipman might be. "That's when I learned my goal to find a JetsOwner had come to an end." DF Jan 31 main page I wonder what would have happened if DF had not found him Mulvey17 figured you like this! I know can't take your eyes off. This is messing me up lol

I can't believe Dave Wheeler has a 5 page thread devoted to him

I am sure Scott Taylor also has five pages in here somewhere.

We've got 2 teams racing to get to get to Winnipeg...at least it seems that way, and one of the most active threads going, is a thread to whine about Wheeler.
Really? REALLY?
