When a national newspaper reports that its own billionaire owner is bringing an NHL team to Winnipeg, the deniers can squawk all they want: the deal’s going down.
Congratulations to my old city.

UPDATE: Look! Some happy young meatheads are out tonight at the corner of Portage and Main, where Bobby Hull and Dale Hawerchuck signed with the Jets in olden times! Chant, O meathead mob, chant! (I mock thee, but I also understand thee.)
