Jets vs Hurricanes at the MTS Center in Winnipeg

Great energy at the MTS Center in downtown Winnipeg to see the Jets take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday. The crowd was electric as can only be expected after their 15 year wait for the Jets to return to Canadian ice. The boys didn't dissapoint either, taking the game 3-1 with the empty netter sealing the deal. Good game and tasty $8 draft Bud :)



Air Canada brought the Jets in and they unloaded at the hangar right next to us!

Excitement is mounting....!

I fortunate to get these ticket for the pre-season games, they become alot scarcer for the regular season. The going rate for nose bleeds is somewhere between $300 to $700 and up. Won't be seeing another Jets game this season!!!!!
