Bowman said he couldn't be more proud.

"It's just a lot of fun and you know what it's such a great opportunity to show Canada and North America what we're made of. So I just want to compliment everybody for really doing us proud. It's so wonderful to be able to shine a spotlight on Winnipeg," Bowman said.

The fan frenzy is expected to continue withat least one more playoff game in Winnipeg tomorrow night against the Ducks.

"Oh, it's just incredible and you know what, kudos to the fans and to Winnipeggers for showing their hometown proud. I mean it was just electric last night to see the fans and we've been seeing that throughout the playoffs and really throughout the year."

If the Jets lose Wednesday night the team will beout of the playoffs.
