Jets news:

Global News: Scheifele rewrites Jets’ record book, but which franchise’s stats matter? I’ve always tried to walk a fine line because as someone who grew up in this town watching Dale, Thomas, Paul, Doug, Freddy, Randy, Teppo, Teemu, Alexi, Phil, Goalie Bob and more, those are the records that mean something to that generation. At the same time there are still folks from Atlanta who threw their fandom into Winnipeg when their team left and while folks might not want any Thrashers connectivity it does them a disservice in my opinion. So I’ve tried to thread the needle talking Jets 1.0/2.0 as well as Jets 2.0/Thrashers.
