SpeedFlex27 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 The national media sure lets the Jets fly under the radar. They don't give a care about the team. In Calgary, we barely see them on tv. No mention of the Jets out here. Whenever I do see an ad on Sportsnet, every other Canadian NHL team is shown but never Winnipeg. To go into Vancouver & knock one of the better teams off at home is a big deal but it'll be underplayed. The Jets got lucky. All the bounces went their way.

Sure some bounces went our way but that game didn’t feel like we lucked out in winning. It felt like a playoff game that we made more plays than they did to win the game.

Not me, I'm talking about the national media. They'll probably say the Jets got lucky. You have to live outside Winnipeg to see just how badly the Jets are ignored. It's like they don't exist. I'll give you an example. In Calgary, we have Sportsnet West. The Oilers & Flames aren't playing. The Jets have a game. What do I see in Calgary? Should be the Jets game, right? Nope. they'll show us Boston at Minnesota. Totally sucks. Edited February 18 by SpeedFlex27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can thank Gary Bettman and the NHL on that one. They greatly restrict access (i.e gotta pay and not just to watch the Jets play but have to buy packages that include teams I couldn’t care less about) if I want to watch any teams who reside outside the province I live in. They consider the Oilers/Flames my home teams. Nope I just happen to reside in Alberta. My home team is Winnipeg. BigBlueFanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in every intermission they discuss the same team. Even if they aren't playing. HardCoreBlue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmmmm. I musta been watching a different game even after taking my homer glasses off. It’s not like we’re saints but sure glad TM ain’t no longer wearing a Jet uni. https://www.msn.com/en-CA/sports/icehockey_nhl/pinning-canucks-loss-on-referees-discredits-more-composed-jets/ar-BB1isvrA?ocid=sapphireappshare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that promo Sportsnet has for goalscorers. Who'll get 60, I believe? Of course, it's all about Auston Matthews. But who else do you see? Well, Quinn Hughes, Connor McDavid & Johnny ******* Gaudreau??? Gaudreau??? He plays for Columbus. No Jets. No Kyle Connor. No Mark Scheifle. Well, **** Sportsnet. **** Gaudreau & **** Toronto.
