Winnipeg's Back!

Today is the final day of the 2011-12 NHL Season Preview, which means that hockey isn't far away now.  And what better way to end this preview than with the team everyone is clamoring to see in the Winnipeg Jets.  No, these are not father's Jets, as this version was once the Atlanta Thrashers, but you know the people of Winnipeg will be selling out the games this season, something that was a rarity, if at all, in Atlanta in recent years.  The face of this Jets team is Andrew Ladd.  He actually led the team in scoring with 59 points, and as captain and two time Stanley Cup winner, he is the ideal fit to be the face of this team.  Zach Bogosian had a rough year last year, but given that he's a second pairing defenseman behind Dustin Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom, the pressure should be off for him to rebound.  Evander Kane is entering his third season, and many are expecting a breakthrough season for him.  He already has the mindset to succeed, now, his physical skill set has to match that.

Prediction: 13th in East

Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge
