Without a doubt! Teemu's record breaking game when he broke Bossy's rookie goal scoring record.
It was great to see him at the arena on Saturday night!

Here are some of my favourite Jets memories.
My first ever Jets game in the 92-93 season, the first home game after Teemu broke the record against the canucks. My dad was at the Quebec game when Teemu broke the record. They had a special ceremony at the start. I don't remember the score but I think the Jets lost.
Jets all-star skills competition open to the public 95-96. It was awesome to see the Jets divide into teams and compete in skills competitions. They were giving away free hockey cards too. I remember Dave Manson had the hardest shot, and Jason Doig missed the net on both of his shots.
Jets vs. Flyers 95-96. The return of Dale Hawerchuck and the constant Lindros Sucks chants. Also Keith Tkachuk centered the puck from behind the net for a goal and he immediately dropped the gloves and started fighting with some flyer. Jets won!!!
Game 4, 1996 playoffs, Wings vs. Jets. The Jets were down 1-0 and scored either late in the 1st or early in the secon. The arena went nuts, I have never heard it so loud in my life. There was a 10 minute ovation and fans started throwing goldeye on the ice in response the Detroit's octupus tradition. The Jets lost 6-1, it was my first and only white out game.

Late March, 1985, Dale Hawerchuck scoring his 50th goal on Warren Scordinski of Chicago! That goal solidified Dale's place as a legitimate superstar in the NHL and I was fortunate to have been there to see it.
Another one I got to see was the Jets ending the 30 game winless streak at home against Colorado. World News Tonight, ESPN, CBC and other major outlets were there and all I remember was that the crowd reacted like the Jets won the Avco Cup again. My first taste of Jets hockey and it was like heroin. I was never the same!
The entire '87 playoffs were a blast as well.

One of my favorite memory would be when our Jets are forced once again to face the oilers in first round of the 1990 playoffs as in Game 4 saw Dave Ellett score 1:08 into the second overtime period to give the Jets a commanding 3-1 series lead. When Ellett slapped that baby in, I went totally crazy.

Any one of the dozen whiteouts that I attended.
But, the one that stands out above the others would be Game Four against the Oilers when Dave Ellett almost blew the roof off of the Arena fourteen years before we had a new arena.

Alright well at the moment I'm just about 15 and my greatest memory of when the Jets were here was when I was oh I don't know 4 or 5 years old maybe, but I had lost my mitten and I was crying. (Come one I was young!) So my dad and I went back inside the Arena to look for it and that's when I met Teemu Selanne. He talked to me and stuff. He is my childhood hero. But yea that's the greatest memory I have.

Pretty much the entire Wings/Jets series in '96. Being both a Detroit and Winnipeg fan, it was the best of both worlds. Also, the 95-96 season was personally my most favorite season of all time, so that helped too.

2) my first game ever in 1990 against the red wings, there was a huge brawl where everyone on the ice was scrapping.
3) game 4 1996 playoffs against the wings. we got stomped but it was my first experience with the white out

3) game 4 1996 playoffs against the wings. we got stomped but it was my first experience with the white out I went to that game too, and it was also my first white out game. That was my favourite game at the arena. Everyone was cheering "Khabby, Khabby, Khabby," in the concourse, the pregame lazer show was awesome and when they made a picture of the stanley cup on center ice the whole arena went nuts. I can't wait to experience the whiteout again.

People were going nuts an hour after the game.
