A few weeks back, I discussed the seemingly unlimited amount of hockey fans who are rejoicing in Winnipeg’s re-entry into the NHL.
I also posted a poll, asking “Are you excited about the Winnipeg Jets return to the NHL?” Here are the answers (as illustrated above):
76% -Yes
9% – No
15% – I could care less
So it seems that 3 out of 4 respondents were excited about the Jets making a comeback. The other two groups – who are not excited or could care less – account for 24% total. These numbers are based on 46 poll responses. I did not vote in this poll.
I was in the YES category–maybe because it will be easier for me to send something to Winnipeg–and Sal, how would YOU vote.
Al, do you mean send a card or photo to a player in Winnipeg to get signed?
As for how I would have voted, I am in the YES category, though I obviously have mixed feelings about the team being called the Jets. I am happy that Winnipeg gets a team.
I'm in the NO category because our crappy ownership group in Atlanta never cared about the Thrashers and this is the result.
