Feels like it was just yesterday. I work at the Forks, but still took the day off to celebrate. So much to remember. Just gathering under the tent, the booing of Bettman on TV, the random high 5s being dished out after season ticket prices were announced, not being able to use my data on my smartphone since I'm sure anyone and everyone at the Forks was on Twitter/BBM/Faceook, seeing people crying tears of joy.
Today is my birthday. So was last year, of course. Last year I was kind a sad because my favourite NHL team moved from Atlanta to a city in Canada I only barely heard about and didn't even knew where it was exactly.
tonight I am going to see Roger Waters at MTS centre............today I will have some cold beers to celebrate. Thank you Gump for digging up the presser and saving me that time............I will close the office door and shed a tear or two watching it again. words really can't describe how big a game changer this was for our city and my quality of life personally. The interesting part about it is this represents the beginning of the story for us but how will the rest of the story play out over the years of our life.
I also want to give a shout out to the former Thrasher fans that lost their team officially last year on this day. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and I am sorry there had to be a loser. I never really got over the loss of the Jets 1.0 until last year at this time so I feel your pain.

That turned out to be a good thing I guess.

It was a good thing. The Atlanta Thrashers were never going to be competitive or successful under their current ownership. In spite of that I hated losing our team and the stigma it left on our city and fanbase. I'm happy for the players. If anybody deserved a barn full of loud fans, it's those guys.

Yeah it didn't took long to realise that this is all true and the move was the best for everyone ... except Atlanta hockey fans unfortunately.
Thanks Aerial =) Last year I was sad but that changed this year. Now I share my birthday with my favourite NHL franchise. Thats awesome actually
