Today was supposed to mark the beginning of the Winnipeg Jets 2012-13 season. Instead, thanks to the NHL lockout, there will be no hockey at all. We here at AIH knew that we couldn't let the start of a new chapter go untold, and with news that EA Sports plans to simulate the entire season, we had a brainstorm of our own. Using a template originally conceived by our pals at Lighthouse Hockey, we bring to you, our loyal reader, the text boxscore of today's game in our first edition of The Games That Never Happened.
It's uncertain whether or not we can keep this up for a full 82 games or if we will only cover the marquee match-ups, but we leave it in your hands to vote on whether or not this is a concept you want to read frequently.
With that, we now present The Games That Never Happened - Winnipeg vs. Carolina.
Enjoy!
