The Unknown Poster Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Another one for the good guys (and whining social justice parents on facebook). Correct decision though.
bigg jay Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 The next *****-fest will be that they don't get immediate refunds, they have to wait until game day & go to the ticket office at IGF.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Oh like a 3 year old would remember it too? Still insane to take the babes to these things.

Thing is, there would be no whining if they hadnt had the silly rule in the first place. The three babies that would have gone would have made no difference and there would be no negative press about it. Now it will be how the crowd was too drunk and unruly for the six month old. or how IGF doesnt have suitable amounts of parent change stations. Or that they didnt pump in artificial heat to keep the babies reasonably warm. Maybe Bettman can personally powder some bums. Noeller 1

Ripper Posted October 18, 2016 Report Posted October 18, 2016 Was thinking with the winter classic coming up. I have a hockey stick I won as a child that is autographed by the entire 1978 Winnipeg jets team. Won tickets to a Bobby Hull dinner in Edmonton at a Oil Kings game. Went with my brother and dad. Then at the dinner won the stick in a raffle. My dad took some picture of me sitting on Bobby Hull's lap with the stick. I was 8 years old. I've had the stick varnished and kept in my gun rack for almost 40 years. have thought about selling it, but don't know what it would be worth or if I could even part with it.

Joe Daley has a sports memorabilia store in Winnipeg. As a former WHA Jet goalie he would have autographed that stick. He'd know what that stick would be worth. If you ever get to Winnipeg get him to check it out. Edited October 18, 2016 by SpeedFlex27 Noeller 1

I know it has Neilson, Hedberg, and Hull. I thought the goalie on it was Bromley. Can't remember off top of my head. It was autographed already when I won it and that night Bobby Hull signed to top again.
Noeller Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 It's an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime thing to be a part of. As I'd mentioned previously, I absolutely DESPISE both the Habs and the Flames, but I went to the outdoor game in Calgary because I may never get to again and it was INSANE. It was frickin' cold and windy (February) but just to be a part of the whole spectacle...it was unbelievable. To get to do something like this in Winnipeg, and with actual NICE weather...man you guys are lucky. Anybody who didn't buy tix...you're really missing out.
Atomic Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Should we place bets on whether someone shows up to IGF in a Riders jersey?

TransconaBomberfan Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Anyone now if there will a chance to meet the players and get autograghs

Floyd Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 Surprised they don't sell Heli-suites for these games
FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 Gonna do my best to avoid any seeing of the Saturday game. I remember the Jets v1 vs Oilers and it was never pretty. So I expect 20-1 game and just wait till Sunday if there is a game. Rain, rain, rain.
The Unknown Poster Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 Sounds like the top line for Alumni is King-Hawerchuk-Selanne
The Unknown Poster Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) https://twitter.com/Ted_Wyman/status/789514902335467521 Supposedly an embed error from Twitter but its a pic of Selanne in a new Jets jersey. Edited October 21, 2016 by The Unknown Poster
Noeller Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 I'm far more interested in the alumni game, but you can't expect that those guys are going to be trying that hard. It's gonna be a glorified shinny game...
tacklewasher Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 IS the Alumin game on tv? Noeller 1
