Thrashers To Winnipeg Keeps Growing But Not True

from Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun,
Thousands of Winnipeggers have heard similar rumours. Most of them say they heard it from more than one good source that David Thomson and Moose owner Mark Chipman would buy the Thrashers and move them to Winnipeg in time for next season.
Many more said they have seen NHL commissioner around Winnipeg the last few days, assuming he was here to make the big announcement. Personally, I’m more inclined to believe the people who call to say they saw Michael Jackson buying a slurpee at 7-Eleven.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news people, but there was no press conference and there isn’t one planned for the near future.
In fact, to this point, there has not been one credible person confirm any rumours surrounding this story. In fact, the credible people — the Moose spokesman, NHL executives, the mayor of Winnipeg — have flatly denied all of them.
Still, the rumour mill keeps on churning. The believers, fuelled by unaccountable bloggers, social media wannabe journalists and other irresponsible, unsourced reports from people who prefer speculation and rumour mongering to the mainstream media, simply won’t give up the ghost.
