By now you’ve probably heard the rumbling that Nikolai Zherdev has expressed interest in, or at least has not squelched the rumors about, a potential signing in Winnipeg.  Here is a recent quote from Zherdev about the possibility of playing in Winnipeg: … Continue reading →

The more Thrashers fans that remain Jets fans the better in my opinion…

I know it’s WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too early in his young career to even be having this conversation, but being a Blue Jackets fan (pre-Jets relocation of course), I’m a little gun-shy with star prospects because I got a front row seat to witness … Continue reading →
