The Montreal Canadiens may have come into the MTS Centre and spoiled the Winnipeg Jets return to the NHL party Sunday night, but the fact of the matter is, Jets fans, en mass, don't seem to mind that much.
Because NHL hockey is now officially back in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Ever seen a team get a standing ovation during the final minute of a home opener when they got beat 5-1?
Chances are, the Jets are in elite company there, and they have their fans to thank for that.
Reality is, Winnipeg fans couldn't care less the score of the game, even though they would have rather seen the five goals come from the boys wearing polar ice blue instead of bleu, blanc, et rogue.
Jets Game Day: Home

Well, it's finally here. Jets 2.0 begin their real play this afternoon not simply as the focus of a city's interest, but as the center of the hockey world for at least one day, which seemed utterly inconceivable six months ago. It's still hard to accept, to be honest, but even those of us inclined to cynicism about the community's mood in the runup to today's event have had to acknowledge that something good is on the cusp. It's fair to say that for many Winnipeggers, today is a quasi-religious celebration of something lost and returned in its own way.
