It was a comfortable return to have playoff hockey in Winnipeg, and these Jets seem primed to soar to new heights.
The first opening round Stanley Cup playoff series that I actively remember making a point to watch or listen to every game was the final series in Winnipeg for the Arizona Coyotes née Jets. Growing up in Detroit, I wanted to be able to talk about the games the next day during fourth grade recess. At the time I didn't register the magic of the White Out, or appreciate the hockey history dating back to playing for and capturing the Avco Cup more than any WHA side in the 70's.
