Winnipeg Sun: Ticket scalpers arrested. I'm pretty sure people who are being asked to pay $1000's to get into the home opener aren't too upset by this. Winnipeg Free Press: Warm welcome back for the NHL. What a way to kick start the biggest hockey weekend in Winnipeg history. Winnipeg Free Press: To boo or not to boo? People need to remove the emotional component (easy to say, harder to do) of the Jets 1.0 leaving, become a bit more pragmatic and realize that the Jets are back and regardless of how you feel about Gary Bettman, without his approval, this move doesn't happen. Winnipeg Free Press: Rich, famous coming to see Jets. A place to see and be seen, when did Winnipeg get trendy? Winnipeg Free Press: It's nutty to diss the commish.

CBC: Jets love-in at the Forks. When Randy Bachman modified the words to "You ain't seen nothing yet" to "We just got back the Jets" the crowd went berserk. What a way to kick start the weekend. Metro: Duo fueled for the Jets. Be sure to look out for the Stevenson cousins who head to Winnipeg as part of their documentary experience. Winnipeg Sun: Harnessing Byfuglien. Watching him blast his shot from the blueline, it is an unenviable position to have to block it, either as a defenceman or goalie. As Buff goes, so too shall the Jets. Globe and Mail: Tickets, who's got tickets? Unfortunately for Fewer his is a common story, with only 13,000 season tickets available. Edmonton Journal: Fond memories of Winnipeg (1/2 way down page). The Bulin wall will always have a place in Winnipeg lore as he almost singlehandidly took the Jets past the Detroit Red Wings in 1996. Winnipeg Sun: Jets a lunch-bucket bunch. When we talked to Mark Stuart yesterday he seemed to think this team's advantage was the speed of the forward group. Winnipeg Sun: Jets netminders have skates firmly on the ground. If nothing else Pavelec's easy nature (he sat in the press scrum yesterday forever) will make the media's job easier. Winnipeg Sun: Manitobans in the Show can't wait to play in 'Peg. I bet they are going to be fielding a ton of calls for tickets. IceCaps News: The Telegram: Retracing his steps. He has come a long way from being a Stanley Cup champ but David Aebischer plans on working hard to regain his championship form and to return to the NHL.
