Transplanted Jets fans eagerly check in to Motel, a 'friendly Manitoba' bar on Toronto's Queen Street

TORONTO — The mayor of Little Winnipeg isn’t here tonight and everyone is sorry that we missed him. The mayor had tickets for the game, so he hopped on a plane and flew 1,500 kilometres back to where all this began.

So he isn’t here, but his mayoral chair is taken. It’s arguably the best seat in the house: last one at the bar, clear view of the television, close to one of two upright pianos that hold vigil on the scene.
