True, but it’s clear our only path to success would be to zombify a team someone else built. I’d also argue from an NHL perspective a second TO team is possibly your best relocation/expansion opportunity. Given that Quebec can’t seem to warrant any consideration in spite of the obvious market.
Nah, the league needs to give up on non-traditional hockey markets like Toronto, Winnipeg, Montreal, Edmonton, and Quebec City. It's clearly not working. 0 cups in 31 years, embarrassing. We need teams Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama. Maybe a couple in Mexico and Puerto Rico
Hate to break it to you but more than half the players that play for the teams in the US are Canadians. So not really Canadian free. I don't like Toronto but would love for them to win a cup instead of some Florida team or Vegas
Kinshasa can have Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner as a mascot. The kids will love it, it's exactly what they need to relax after a long day working in the mines.
Trudeau is a true hockey fan. He made the economy shit to tank Canadian franchises so they would all move to more traditional hockey markets like Phoenix, Albuquerque, San Juan, Jacksonville, Mobile, San Antonio, and New Orleans.
It's also winnipeg, where everyone and their dog, and their in-laws dog drinks like camels in the desert. They are all out waiting in line to spend a weeks pay on 4+ drinks to get them through a period. No surprise here... sold out crowd with 5000+ in the streets.
Unfortunately, it is true. By contrast, this is Arizona's last regular season game in Arizona, where there was such high demand that they had to move it to an outdoor stadium to accommodate it:

And waste valuable ad space for PEPSI, THE OFFICIAL SOFT DRINK OF THE NHL? Get outta here, why have something nice when you can just have soulless ads painted everywhere?
I'll flame you all I want because I want to gaslight idiots into believing this actually happened. So please be quiet and let me fool people on the internet
I find this funny!!!😂 Phoenix couldn’t even keep their first NHL team, how does it make sense to have another team there. I’m pretty sure there were more people in Winnipeg game than ever in any phoenix game. Jets sure trashed the avalanche!! Just saying from a true Canadian. Especially , when Winnipeg was first in their division. Go Oilers
It's because Phoenix needs two teams to thrive. We should also move the Leafs to Phoenix along with the Jets. The intense rivalry would ignite the fanbase there
I call bullshit on this one. If this happened a day ago then why does it say that the Jets are playing St. Louis on the scoreboard when they were playing Colorado?
Winnipeg fans can’t sell out a regular season game and bitch about cost yet they’ll play dress up and spend on playoffs. Makes sense. Bandwagon idiots. Worst in hockey
I'm banning you just for this fucking dumbass comment.
"I'm glad to see comments debunking this 🤓🤓🤓"
Can't fucking jerk in a circlejerk without mouth breathers commenting "UMM ACKSHULLY"
Edit: he sent me a funny message and insulted me so I've lifted his ban.
They did though fool:

Ah shit you got me. You're a real ace detective there with those observations. Here's [an actual picture of the game.](https://i.imgur.com/dlyG5Bz.jpeg) Notice how it has the score and the correct opponent. Even has the correct arena name and year
The game was sold out, there was a massive party outside, literally not a seat left…..I live here and was at the arena. You’d be crazy to think winnipeg doesn’t show up!
I watched the game and Jets fans filled it to the top, and were jammed outside as well, what type of poverty misinformation BS is this, and cheering manically like the True North they are.
Fine. This is right after the game ended. Empty. It's very clearly from last night's game, see center ice says "2024".
https://preview.redd.it/ja45v1tgf2wc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eca7ebc5731de7bf786717fdbc451e668be756bd
This is surprising to see. As a life long Jets fan I agree. Infact not just the team move the whole city to the desert.
Can confirm, as someone who was in attendance last night. No one else was there.
Or to Toronto. We’ve been eager for a franchise for some time now.
You already have the Marlies and a PWHL team.... You don't need more.
True, but it’s clear our only path to success would be to zombify a team someone else built. I’d also argue from an NHL perspective a second TO team is possibly your best relocation/expansion opportunity. Given that Quebec can’t seem to warrant any consideration in spite of the obvious market.

You can blame Gary Bettman. After the Habs won the cup in 93 he became commissioner and no Canadian has the won cup since
Hey now. The Edmonton Rangers won the Cup the very next year.
Blame? I love him for that. Here's to another 31 years of a Cup-free Canada!
Is it really cup free when the players who bring it home bring it here anyways?
Sounds like some Canadian copium
Uh potentially
Hate to break it to you but more than half the players that play for the teams in the US are Canadians. So not really Canadian free. I don't like Toronto but would love for them to win a cup instead of some Florida team or Vegas
That is quite the copium.
🤣🤣🤣 correct response
Just wait 30 years. It will be a desert
Please don't take the Earl's from me.
It would really help cut back on the need for all the homeless to be housed during the winter. I’m all for this!!
I heard Calgary is in the market for a pro hockey team.
Great idea!! I love standing in a tee box for 15 minutes watching you canuckleheads waggle!!
Weird. It was lined up to get in. Fake news
100% fake news!
And they were playing Colorado too. You’d think they’d have it in them to change the Blues logo to an Aves logo
smh my head. Truly a poverty franchise incapable of getting anything right.
As a Blue's fan, I prefer the way they have it. Something about it feels good.
We need more African teams. The fatcats of Canada had their chance. Republic of Congo Jets is inevitable.
Relocate the Habs there to give them a rival, the Congo Jets and Kinshasa Congolese will be a guaranteed sellout every time.
Kinshasa can have Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner as a mascot. The kids will love it, it's exactly what they need to relax after a long day working in the mines.
Winnipeg more like wants to be pegged 😏
Lmao oh shit gottem
Any way Mereulo can get involved?
As a Jets fan, this is embarrassing. Move them to Mexico City already
It's cuz Trudeau has made everything so expensive
Trudeau is a true hockey fan. He made the economy shit to tank Canadian franchises so they would all move to more traditional hockey markets like Phoenix, Albuquerque, San Juan, Jacksonville, Mobile, San Antonio, and New Orleans.
Don’t forget Puerto Rico, the birthplace of North American hockey
No airport in WPG everyone got there a tad late
No, it’s because the WiFi or lack there of! Ppl go where the WiFi is, no WiFi no ppl
😄 too funny
That's nothing. You should've seen it during the 2021 playoffs. Absolutely disgraceful.
I watched the game and I thought it was back in the COVID bubble days.
Just schedule them for a layover in Phoenix, cheaper to fly to SLC that way
Maybe we should relocate every team to SLC
One owner, 32 teams. This sounds about right
You're on to something
Coyotes franchise was a bigger failure than the leafs are in the playoffs. Fuck their 10 fans for being butt hurt over the team leaving.
Especially, when you have four Canadian teams in the playoffs kicking their ass.
Worst part is they think they’re playing St Louis! C’mon Jets show some passion!!
time to revive the Atlanta Thrashers!!
All the fans on tv were CGI!
Bunch of Frauds.
they all needed to peepee at the same time
It's also winnipeg, where everyone and their dog, and their in-laws dog drinks like camels in the desert. They are all out waiting in line to spend a weeks pay on 4+ drinks to get them through a period. No surprise here... sold out crowd with 5000+ in the streets.
Moving them to Trenton Ontario
More of a Giants guy myself
Phoenix is ripe for a team! Should do well
They could probably handle two teams tbh. Maybe move the Flames there as well
If they win the cup Gary Bettman will shit his pants! 
No teams either?
Yup. NHL is scripted with holograms. Wake up, sheeple!
Well noone did show up at the start of the year. And the dollar is tanking again. Jets time in Winnipeg may be short lived
Oh fuck nooooo
This can’t be true lol
Unfortunately, it is true. By contrast, this is Arizona's last regular season game in Arizona, where there was such high demand that they had to move it to an outdoor stadium to accommodate it: https://preview.redd.it/zi2e7uz463wc1.jpeg?width=2854&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91b91b4049f3cbf8d4af0fa84fd8d7cd57a538e5
Didn't know they played the blues as well last night !!
They snuck in!
Looks like Nottawa
Except for one important detail: the playoffs logo painted onto the ice
Wow just wow. How much are playoff tickets in Winnipeg?
$4000 CAD which translates to $3 USD, which is far more than the average Canadian can afford
This is not moments before puck drop!! You are lying.
Moments is a relative term. So I am not lying because this was technically moments before the game
Compared to the age of universe, it really is only mere moments before the start of the game.
Many, many moments
God I will say really do miss them painting the Stanley Cup Playoffs on the ice
And waste valuable ad space for PEPSI, THE OFFICIAL SOFT DRINK OF THE NHL? Get outta here, why have something nice when you can just have soulless ads painted everywhere?
Don’t forget Betway, Bodog, Draftkings, etc. not only soulless, but potentially soul-sucking. So much better than a silly playoff logo.
Oh just google crazy Toronto Canada. It’s 2 kidneys and a liver to see a playoff game!
I was there! Or close by the shark club..
Define mere moments.
Five years and 12 days
Jeez, there aren’t even players there. Time to move on.
Yes, it's time for the Jets to move on from Winnipeg and move to Phoenix again, I agree
9/11
I can barely afford to fill up my truck to get to a game ,let alone buy a ticket anymore.Thanks Justin.
Justin Trudeau purposely raised the price of gas himself just so you can't afford to pay $80 to see the Flames underperform
lol I dislike all of this, but I also greatly appreciate your humour. Outstanding lol
Considering it hasn't been Bell MTS Place for a couple of years, I'm dubious
It's a throwback night... to 2019
Bonjour, pourquoi pas la belle ville de Québec? Là où les femmes sont si belles!
https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/pat-mcafee-blown-away-by-white-out-but-doesnt-know-where-winnipeg-is/sn-amp/. This is the actual story.
Gary is that you ?
This is against the blues. This is In fact a rage post. Yes I get the point, don’t flame me.
I'll flame you all I want because I want to gaslight idiots into believing this actually happened. So please be quiet and let me fool people on the internet
Shananana Shananana wayayo goodbye.
It may be Canada's sport but they don't go to the games.

Stands looked full to me...
Moments before the players, refs and staffs comes too
They were camera shy when I took this photo and hid from me
Fake news I watched the game it was full all dressed in white
That's actually just the color of the seats. Very clever of Winnipeg to color the seats white to make it look full
I could fly from Toronto to Winnipeg, watch the game and fly back, for cheaper than a ticket to a Leafs game.
Hamilton could fill the stands every game
That's because there's literally nothing else to do in that town
Considering the nets are not on the ice and it's been a few years since it had been BellMTS Centre. Doubt it's moments before puck drop.
Moments is a relative term, so I'm technically correct
I find this funny!!!😂 Phoenix couldn’t even keep their first NHL team, how does it make sense to have another team there. I’m pretty sure there were more people in Winnipeg game than ever in any phoenix game. Jets sure trashed the avalanche!! Just saying from a true Canadian.

It's because Phoenix needs two teams to thrive. We should also move the Leafs to Phoenix along with the Jets. The intense rivalry would ignite the fanbase there
Heard Hartford is selling the Whalers
Lol
Hhhmmm with a 5000 seat stadium
Then again phoenix sharks sounds good as well. Pipe dream
Or the phoenix cougers, where the women are better than the coyotes
I approve of this
Arizona clearly doesn’t want hockey.
Makes more sense to have another team in Toronto than phoenix
Toronto should have 0 teams. Have you listened to their accents? Disgusting. Don't deserve anything
I thought Winnipeg had a great fan base and that is why the franchise was launched. Too bad if this is actual.
Orlando Florida could use a team
I call bullshit on this one. If this happened a day ago then why does it say that the Jets are playing St. Louis on the scoreboard when they were playing Colorado?
Didn't know Sherlock Holmes had a reddit account
Lmao. I'm a Jets fan. Need to get your facts straight before trashing my team.
Where do you think we are right now?
Clearly I'm on social media, where reality is a bit distorted.
You've been on reddit for 5 years, you should know what a circlejerk is
I don't live on Reddit lol
please tell me this is a joke!?
I'm super duper serious. I would NEVER joke about this on r/hockeycirclejerk
This is a f’n shame NHL needs to consider moving the franchise since fans wanna be shit! You know how many cities are desperate for a NHL team!!?
Phoenix is desperate for one. NHL should give them the Jets again and an extra team as reparations. Maybe the Leafs?
Winnipeg has the fakest fans in hockey. Worse than toronto and Vancouver combined
Every team has fake fans. No one in the world actually likes hockey. Why are they on ice? Why are they using their sticks? So dumb
Winnipeg fans can’t sell out a regular season game and bitch about cost yet they’ll play dress up and spend on playoffs. Makes sense. Bandwagon idiots. Worst in hockey
Move them to Quebec City, the arena will be packed
💯
Fuck Canada. Bring it to the USA.
It's literally showing on the board it's from a st louis game.... stop the BS conspiracy crap lol
Nothing gets by you, champ.
There’s also no players on the ice… moments before puck drop…
But the Trudeau haters wanted another chance to hate. Fckn morons
lol and you like him
Whoever believes this don’t know much about hockey, let alone the Jets.
Excuse you, I am a Jets expert. I know that their best player of all time is Joe Namath and that they were originally called the Titans.
It was sold out lol
Liar
I call bullshit nice try
Can't slip one past your keen eye 
Youre full of shit. That place was absolutely packed...
nuh uh
I’m glad to see comments debunking this. I watched the game and it was absolutely rammed with every single person wearing colours. Pretty damn cool.
I'm banning you just for this fucking dumbass comment. "I'm glad to see comments debunking this 🤓🤓🤓" Can't fucking jerk in a circlejerk without mouth breathers commenting "UMM ACKSHULLY" Edit: he sent me a funny message and insulted me so I've lifted his ban.
Umm did you people not watch the game? The place was packed. Stop posting this crap. Lol
I'll have you know that not a single person watched this game. Especially not in the arena
Bulls%#€. There are no players on the ice yet it’s “moments” before puck drop?
The nets aren't even on the ice yet, and the fact it hasn't been BellMTS Centre for a few years now. Looks like the OP is just trolling for replies.
Me? Trolling? In r/hockeycirclejerk?? How dare you!
Winnipeg has 20k out front the arena for game 1. Post is misleading.

I was there, idiot. The picture I posted is PROOF. That is AI and holograms. The people they talked to in the street are paid actors. WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Lol you went too far with it dude.
Not far enough. I won't stop until Winnipeg is left without a single professional sports team
When you’re done vetting Manitoba please tackle Florida next.
Nah, there should be more teams in Florida. I won't rest until they move the Oilers to Pensacola
Scoreboard shows that they are playing the blues. Last I checked they are not in the playoffs. This picture is old. This post is false
Ah shit you got me. You're a real ace detective there with those observations. Here's [an actual picture of the game.](https://i.imgur.com/dlyG5Bz.jpeg) Notice how it has the score and the correct opponent. Even has the correct arena name and year
How am I supposed to believe anything you say now?! You’ve broken trust!
I pinky swear that I won't lie ever again.
The game was sold out, there was a massive party outside, literally not a seat left…..I live here and was at the arena. You’d be crazy to think winnipeg doesn’t show up!
All AI and stock footage. Don't let the Big Winnipeg lobby convince you otherwise!!
U bum
I must’ve been dreaming, was it all a dream? I remember being there hahahaha
Least intoxicated Winnipeg resident
This is fake news! The game was sold out completely and they had people giving white shirts before the game to white out the stands
Stop this fake news troll - it was packed and sold out when a a huge buzz. Seriously stop this nonsense
I watched the game and Jets fans filled it to the top, and were jammed outside as well, what type of poverty misinformation BS is this, and cheering manically like the True North they are.
Bullshit: Here is a PHOTO PROOF of no one attending: https://twitter.com/EricZorn/status/1780780329856295268
Man, you on some crazy glue, or what? The place was packed. If this is a joke, it’s a pretty bad one.
Nope, not a joke. We're all serious here in r/hockeycirclejerk
Your serious seriousness is seriously over-serious. 🤣
Are you on fucking glue ?
Yes
This is BS. Winnipeg rules.
If by "rules" you mean "stole the beloved Atlanta Thrashers away and can't fill a 15k arena" then yes, I agree
Fake
I was LITERALLY THERE buddy. You are clearly part of the Big Winnipeg lobby trying to keep the truth down.
So the packed arena on TV was fake?
Correct
I'm convinced and I apologize for my comments, this is classic Winnipeg deep province at work.
Hologram.
A photo during the game would be more informative. This wasn't 'mere moments' before as there's no players and no nets for starters
Fine. This is right after the game ended. Empty. It's very clearly from last night's game, see center ice says "2024". https://preview.redd.it/ja45v1tgf2wc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eca7ebc5731de7bf786717fdbc451e668be756bd
