If you have customer's and they see you which could reflect bad on the company you work for I believe they have just cause to fire you.

Aaaaaand it's done. The NHL will be back in Winnipeg: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle2029179/ Quote:
An agreement to sell the National Hockey League’s Atlanta Thrashers to a Winnipeg group which plans to relocate the franchise to the Manitoba capital is done.
Sources confirmed tonight that preparations are being made for an announcement Tuesday, confirming the sale and transfer of the Thrashers to True North Sports and Entertainment, which owns and operates the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and the MTS Centre arena, which would become the NHL team’s new home.
Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League, is expected to travel to Winnipeg to make the news official.
The announcement would end months of speculation about whether one of the NHL’s financially-troubled American sunbelt teams might move north, filling the void left when the Winnipeg Jets packed up and left for Phoenix in 1996, where they became the Coyotes.
Much of the talk this spring had centred on that failing franchise, which was bought by the league after being placed in bankruptcy by its former owner Jerry Moyes in 2009.
But sources in Winnipeg suggest that the Thrashers had in fact been the primary target of potential owners Mark Chipman and David Thomson all along, and that some months back, the NHL board of governors quietly approved the sale and transfer of the team, pending the negotiation of a purchase agreement between Atlanta Spirit LLC, the Thrashers’ owners, and True North.
In the meantime, no potential owner materialized who was prepared to keep the team in Georgia, and local governments there showed no interest in propping up the Thrashers.
“There seems to be a consensus there is going to be a team in Winnpeg,” former major league pitcher Tom Glavine, who had tried unsuccessfully to find new ownership for the hockey team in Atlanta, acknowledged last week. ““The question is who, and unfortunately the bullseye seems to be on the Thrashers’ back.”
When it appeared this spring that the Coyotes might also be in play, after a deal to sell the team to Matthew Hulsizer underwritten by a municipal bond issue fell apart in the face of political opposition from the Goldwater Institute, the Winnipeg group sought to take advantage of what suddenly seemed a buyers’ market, with two teams available and no other potential owners or relocations sites on the horizon.
After the City of Glendale agreed to cover $25-million of the Coyotes losses for the 2011-2012 season, and the NHL opted to operate the club in Arizona for at least one more year, True North’s full focus returned to Atlanta, and a deal was hammered out this week.
Even before those final negotiations took place, the potential Winnipeg owners concluded an agreement with the Manitoba government which will allow revenues from a sports bar with slot machine to be used for improvements to the arena, and to be used towards the debt service on the building.
That’s consistent with what Manitoba premier Greg Sellinger told reporters earlier this week, when he said that the provincial government had no interest in subsidizing an NHL team, but that the province had financially supported the renovation of the MTS Centre in the past, and would continue to be willing to do so.

It's far less interesting since they can't use the name Jets 
But I don't think Winnipeg fans care which team they get. Although I'm sure they would have preferred a playoff team at least.

somebody needs to let the know owners in winnipeg know that the city of glendale cannot afford the coyotes for another year, dishing out $25million.
coyotoes have more prospect to build a team in winnipeg worth watching
-coach of the year candidate
-larrson, gromley, turris, bodeker, summers, yandle, and doan the heart and soul of winnipeg 
who the hell is on the thrashers, i dont even know

^ the nhl still owns the rights to "Winnipeg Jets"
winnipeg fans should wait 1 more year instead of waiting 5 yrs to build through the draft again for the real jets to return (coyotes)

SOURCES: says winnipeg wont be getting their name "jets" back if the coyotes does not return to the city of winnipeg. Instead they will either be name manitoba/winnipeg moose or falcons.
Winnipeg Falcons, they will be rocking these jerseys  | |

This name has been going around the Internet for a while now and has a lot of people liking the sound of it.
Many people say that if Winnipeg was to acquire a new NHL franchise, it would be best for a new start. A new beginning would separate the new team from the Jets, who despite having some great memories, were never able to really win in the NHL and saw not so great fan support in the final few seasons while players were being sold off for loonies.
Falcons would be a great new start. It is sticking with the bird name from the Thrashers and it was the name of the team that Winnipeg was represented by all the way back to the 1920's, when they won a Gold Medal. Plus the name isn't too over the top and could be seen years from now.
Honestly, names like the Predators or Thunder (NBA) are just silly.
My say: Great for a fresh start

But I doubt they can use the Canadian maple leaf logo, it's probably owned by Hockey Canada
I still think they should call the team AVRO ARROWS
