Out of nothing and nowhere comes
everything.
Or at least that's what the Winnipeg
Jets would have you believe. The Jets defeated the Boston Bruins 2-1
the other day, in regulation too. Boston hadn't lost in regulation
time in 15 straight games.
As amazing as it sounds, it gets a bit
better for Jets fans. The team won the game without Nik Antropov,
Tobias Enstrom, Ron Hainsey, Randy Jones, and Derek Meech. Oh yea,
Eric Fehr too. Thats a lot of hockey sticks left in the dressing
room, good ones too.
But then again, the Jets have amazed
since they've arrived. Check that, they've amazed even before
they arrived. Street parties on portage and main, a ginormous
celebration at The Forks, and a packed house to watch the 2011 entry
draft was as much a spectacle as the team arriving itself – perhaps
more so.
Now, opposing teams media scribes write
stories about how the tiniest building in the NHL, could also be the
loudest – and to think, having a team at all seemed impossible less
than eight months ago.
Out of nothing and nowhere comes
everything.
