FrostyWinnipeg Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 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.

Ducky Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 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.

kelownabomberfan Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not Shenkarow, it was Gobuty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by The Unknown Poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 So what about the priv boxes. Is the game free for those people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 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...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Loge in arena is first row of upper deck so it cant be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 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. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigg jay Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by bigg jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted August 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Love it. I always preferred the 90's Jets logo so I dig the modernization of the 80's logo. Looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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".

Atomic Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 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?" JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I meant originally, when the franchise left, the trademarks didn't move to Phoenix, so they never belonged to them. They remain 'untarnished'.
