2. a. The thing that impresses me the most about Winnipeg is their consistency. I know the league talks regularly, and accurately, about the fact that the good teams are the only teams who win, but Winnipeg being able to do it year after year is very impressive and testament to their players and management staff.

d. Winnipeg finally gets over the hump and wins this year by knocking off the Wolfpack. I don’t really know why I think that, but I have faith that I think they can get it done after years of heartbreak. If they don’t, well I’m not sure that their fans won’t just burn down the arena themselves in an extreme version of Vancouver in 2010.

3. I think when you look at Winnipeg in the current era that sees them with four Challenge Cup Final appearances in a row, I’m sure that there would be people that would argue that this team was not a success. I would not be one of those people, but the argument could be made that making 4 straight final appearances without winning would be unsuccessful in all reality. But the thing is, that if you judge team success based on whether or not they win the Challenge Cup, there would be a lot more teams that fail each season. I would say that Winnipeg has been extremely successful and I think that they are fully a credit to their management staff and their players to keep at it and keep grinding each week to be better and to be successful. It’s hard to ask that from your team, especially if you haven’t gotten over the hump, but I continue to be impressed with Winnipeg.
