How Winnipeg is feeling about tonight's game

SHARE

Feeling a little anxious in Winnipeg today, eh?

I'll tell ya what, the boys are playing the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight and there's a definite buzz around the city, but it's got a nervous edge to it. I was down at the Forks this morning, grabbing a coffee, and everyone's talking about the standings. We're clinging to that Wildcard spot by a thread, and after that last loss, people are looking for a win, bud. You hear it everywhere – at Sals over breakfast, walking past the shops on Osborne, even in the office chat. It's not a checked-out feeling, not by a long shot. It's more like we're holding our breath, hoping the Jets can string some wins together. Folks are just desperate for this team to find some consistency, especially with these last few games being so crucial. We've got a team, and we want to see them in the playoffs, you know?

From the Peg — Northy says Go Jets Go.

Marty and the gang are all over this every morning, eh? You can catch 'em live at mornings.live.
