I just want to comment on some of Darren Fords comments in the News Section, Dec. 23rd.
"I guess I was too positive because he left me out. (Yes, that's right Garth Butcho...ME, ME, ME!!)" - Darren Ford
BRILLIANT!!! hahha, OWNED!
"Winnipeg may be ready for the NHL because of our AHL attendance and the NHL lockout." - Daren Ford quoting the Winnipeg Sun
I still dont see where people get the logic that AHL attendance reflects our ability to house an NHL team... I mean, my Dad use to take me to Jets games atleast twice a month, maybe more... I has taken me to maybe 2 moose games. (granted, my dad doesn't take me out places like he used to, after all, im 18 years old). But he rarly goes to a moose game, I go almost never. I could probably list 100 people i know who loved the jets and kinda stopped going to hockey when the left. We saw the fan base that Team Canada had in the world Jr's. Who are those fans? where did they come from? Havn't herd noise like that since '96. Well the fact is, they have been here all along, they just choose to spend money on what they want... they REFUSE to have a "Settle for Less" attitude. Its like Insurence offering someone a Esquire after they had a Rolex stolen. I mean sure, an Esquire is a nice watch, and alot of people like them, but it just isn't a Rolex!!!!
I also played at bronx today and had one of the best games of my life.. 2 hour hockey game, 10 or 11 people on the ice. 1 Jets Jersey, 2 Jets shirts, 1 Jets Toque, 1 Jets Hat. thats 50% of the people wearing JETS mem. and not 1 person, i paid attention, was wearing ANY moose gear. I am sure none of them "Hate" the moose, they just don't have any interest...
