Those were the days alright. Those poor goalies in their leather gear facing Hull's slapshot.
As much as I loved the WHA, it was a major deal for Winnipeg to join the NHL.
The only bad thing for the Jets then was that there were so many fans of the "original" six teams.
You couldn't tell who was the home team when Montreal or Toronto came to town. Montreal especially
had hard core fans with the large French-Canadian population in and around Winnipeg.
