March 8, 20169 yr comment_187371 You still have the Oilers without Gretzky. I'm not sure if the Jets would have won a cup in the 80's but probably at least 1 when you have the best in the world(see Pittsburgh with Mario/Crosby).

Imagine what Hawerchuk would have had for points if he was feeding and being fed by Kurri, Messier, Anderson, Coffey, Tikkanen, etc, instead of Mark Kumpel, Phil Sykes and Tim Trimper. Kind of like wondering what Milt's numbers would look like if he had had a chance to play with Anthony Calvillo. He had Mullen after 81-82. Hopkins only there 1 season.

March 8, 20169 yr comment_187420 If we had Gretzky, we never would have finished last and got Hawrchuk.... The way I remember the story was it was Shenk that said no to backgammon for Gretzky and went on to lose the first game and won the next 10.
March 8, 20169 yr comment_187457 My memory remembers Shenk but I don't doubt that I am wrong.....musta been the 70's.....too young to party in the 60s.
June 10, 20169 yr Author comment_200049 Prices have been announced. There is a seating chart with the prices at the link, ranging from $185-$669. My buddy has Loge and was offered to buy them and he was probably not going to due to the cost. They were very expensive. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Peter-Tessier/Winnipeg-Heritage-Classic-Game-Prices-Announced/161/77478 Edited June 10, 20169 yr by The Unknown Poster
June 10, 20169 yr comment_200072 that's what a "loge" is, I think (??) and as the previous poster said, the cost of those is going to be extraordinary for this event, so quite a few might opt to pass on the weekend...
June 11, 20169 yr Author comment_200104 Loge are those sections with a couple of tables and nice chairs on the main concourse behind the last row. Comfy. They have server service I believe. Buddy just upgraded from his season tickets last year. He's a corporate sponsor.
June 11, 20169 yr comment_200198 This is a great interview by Peter Young (CTV Winnipeg sportscaster during the WHA days in the 70's). Gretzky tells his version of how he ended up in Edmonton. Never heard this explanation before. Makes sense ...
August 5, 20168 yr comment_213906 The new HC jersey actually looks like a mix between an Oilers jersey and the old jets one with the stripes on the arms & bottom. Edited August 5, 20168 yr by bigg jay
August 5, 20168 yr Author comment_213909 Love it. I always preferred the 90's Jets logo so I dig the modernization of the 80's logo. Looks amazing.
August 5, 20168 yr comment_213916 Jerseys Look Good, Jets heritage classic roster looks like it's gonna get it's ass handed to them tho.

Nope. The NHL maintains rights to their defunct franchises. In the case of the Jets, I believe they transferred the trademarks to True North at no cost. I recall Bettman said the name and logo were TN's if they wanted them back at the presser announcing the sale (the same presser where David Thomson was asked about the name and said "Jets is a fine name".
August 5, 20168 yr comment_213937 I was only joking. Lots of people on Twitter playing that game though. "Why are the Jets celebrating the Coyotes' past? Shouldn't it be a Thrashers jersey?"

Correct. I meant originally, when the franchise left, the trademarks didn't move to Phoenix, so they never belonged to them. They remain 'untarnished'.
August 5, 20168 yr comment_213940 Just now, Atomic said: I was only joking. Lots of people on Twitter playing that game though. "Why are the Jets celebrating the Coyotes' past? Shouldn't it be a Thrashers jersey?" I know, I know... just like to remind everyone that these are clean jerseys, not tainted by the desert stink.
