Bring back the Whalers

[D1g1tal j1m]

Sorry, but I grew up watching them. It was a badge of honor in a sort of Scarlett Letter sort of way.

I miss the Brass Bonanza!

[D1g1tal j1m]

Darn you Hurricanes, we suffering Hartford fans should have been celebrating the Cup. But noooo, it had to be Carolina natives who wouldn't know a hockey puck from a cow chip that got to celebrate.

So we had a Arena in a Mall, so what....

Breakfast, shmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake. It's only the second period and I'm up 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, "the Whale," they only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime.

Long live the Whale!!!

Yep...definitely a one team kinda guy...and the Avs be my team.


The two worst things that could happen in the hockey world are a) the Whalers come back and b) The Canucks start wearing their first uniforms again. :eek:

why is that the worst. you inherited a team from Quebec,

why do the fans in Hartford suffer, that is not right

although the Canucks unis were pretty funny if you ask me
the Kings of the 70s were not much better lol

There is a funny story behind it. Barry Melrose started that name.

My favorite player was Geoff Sanderson when he played for us.

He was fast, had a great shot and had Oksana Baiul as his personal stalker.
I liked watching Nylander on a breakaway because he always made the same deke move that they taught in the Mighty Ducks - Left, Right, Left & then shoot- or if he wanted to get tricky he would do the opposite -Right, Left, Right & shoot-.
