I hadn’t thought about that, but back in the 80s when I scoured all things Stanley Cup, I must have noted that to my pre-teen self! I have the Habs in my $50 pool. So...GoHabsGo! I typically shun teams from other cities (Hurricanes, Avs, Stars, Coyotes), but I never warmed up to the Thrashers anyway and was thrilled Winnipeg got a team back. So...I have financial reasons to root for the Habs and personal reasons to root for the Jets.
Question: does Winnipeg roll Bobby Hull out from time to time? Bob Essenas? Dave Babych? Steen? Selanne? Pokey Reese? Hedberg? Nilsson (clean hit, by the way)? Phil Housley? Are they brought back to the games?
