Jets fail to sell out first game since move to Winnipeg

Alright, time to pack it up and book the cargo planes to Hartsfield, the NHL clearly isn’t viable in Winnipeg.

The team, which has sold out literally every single game — regular season and playoffs — since the Thrashers (RIP) moved to Winnipeg in 2011, drew a MEASLY 14,764 fans on Tuesday night versus the Coyotes, a whopping 550-ish seats under capacity.

It’s clearly time to panic, as a semi-struggling Jets squad facing a boring-as-hell Arizona club on a Tuesday night in October — with many parts of Manitoba caught in a State Of Emergency after a devastating snow storm hit last week — didn’t fill a rink which has been over capacity for 332 straight contests.

This never would’ve happened in Atlanta.
