Hartford Whalers

[ledeux]

hey can you send me the ''hockey part of your video'' like primeau's goal or burke save

[sabresrock234]

if they brought back the whalers theyd be my second fav team fuck carolina

[uconnhuskies821]

BRING EM BACK

[sabrescarygood]

Move the hurricanes back to hartford...Move phoenix back to winnipeg and you can keep the avs where they are and give quebec an expansion team... Can all the sunbelt teams and move them to deserving cities in canada...

[jchance860]

Carolina will never be the whalers.....They need to come back to Hartford

[Airman241]

@jchance860 that is why they are called the Hurricanes

[iangoblin71]

I could look at that jersey all day...it's ingenious how they incorporated the tail, the "H" and the "W" all together so smoothly. Let's get rid of some of these hack NHL cities and bring a choice back to the fans in New England.

[iangoblin71]

Great video- still miss 'em...trying to decide which name to put on my jersey: 11 Dineen, 10 Francis, 55 Primeau, 94 Shanahan, 08 Sanderson, 16 Verbeek. Any suggestions? Kinda leaning toward Dineen.

[gwentomnion]

I'd say Francis, but as a Penguins fan, I might be a little biased. He was a great player. Hell, I wouldn't mind having a Francis Whalers jersey, I'd rock it all the time.

Baldwin dealt the death blow after trading Ronnie and Ulfie to Pittsburg.

[WillandTV]

@ridad1 Baldwin was not in Hartford at the time of the trade ... Richard Gordon was the owner

[charliehaa]

never really followed hockey after the whale left to bad we had no fan base i had season tickets they just couldnt sell enough tickets to make them stay hurricanes are not the same

[close169]

i wore 55 when i played for middlesex in ct for the greatest defenseman ever keith priumeua

[razoramon989]

Keith Primeau was a center

[WillWalker62]

Thanks for the great memories!

[JoefromPennsy]

Great video, it pulled a tear from my eye. My brother & I were big Whaler fans from Jersey & used to drive up to Hartford & Springfield to watch our favorite team/league. Remember the Shakey's shoot to win contest between periods? I still have my old Whalers Jersey from the 70's.

[razoramon989]

SAAAAAVE BY BURKE!!! oh christ I think I'm going to cry

[CaptainBuckRogers]

Whaler fan is Boston. You have character not to be a conformer. Stick with what you like!

[whaleforlife]

Whalers fans join whalerwatch. com

[whaleforlife]

nice vid

[hillmert]

This video made me cry at the end.

[hillmert]

The Carolina Hurricanes will always be the Whalers to me.

[boomac62]

I was a Whaler fan in central Mass, Bruin country. I took so much crap from B's fans...but it made me a better person :-)

Now I live in N. Carolina nd I do root for the Canes and I still think of them as the Whalers...I wish they could go "home" but it will never happen...

[close169]

being from connecticut videos like this make me regret cheering against the whalers while they were here. god bless

[eggsmcmuffin]

Same here. Now that I'm older I wish I had supported them more while they were here.

[alvo69]

My BLOOD is HARTFORD FUCKING WHALER GREEN!!! I grew up inside that coliseum.... I used to HITCHHIKE home from Whalers game in the middle of January, because: A. there was no other way HOME to Marlborough, and B. Because I DIDN'T CARE what happened as long as I GOT TO THE GAME!!! C. I'm a NUT! ----- THANKS for the Memories ALL you DIE HARD WHALERS FANS!!!

[yank22fan]

CANADA WANTS THE WHALERS BACK. TEAMS IN FLORIDA TEXAS AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE A JOKE!

[CMH13073]

[iangoblin71]

oh boy- this response should be good...

[jimpietz]

Oh, and when the next few presidents raise OUR taxes, year after year, blame your boy GW for turning a budget surplus into the largest deficit in US history with this bullshit war.

[jdlewis60]

Hartford is a GHOSTTOWN now! These friggin liberal politicians ruined everything in Hartford. I lived there from 1981 to 1987 after college, and what a great place to grow up as a young adult. Whalers, Italian Festivals, Theaters, great clubs, serious employment, and then the liberals began to increase taxes and chased away most of the Insurance companies and defense contractors like Pratt & Whitney who moved the bulk of there operations to Texas. LIBERALS RUINED HARTFORD!

[jimpietz]

According to a friend of mine that graduated Penn State with honors and is now employed as an actuary, Conn. is still the insurance capital of the world. So go ahead and blame the Whalers' move on "liberals chasing out the insurance companies", instead of where the blame really belongs; Gary Bettman. You conservatives are all the same; ignore your own greed/outsourcing/ignorance and place the blame for the ills of the nation on "liberal high taxes"

[KNS1996DFS]

That's right, blame Bettman for everything. It must be so reassuring to have one person who's to blame for every problem.

[iangoblin71]

haha...i don't really care if it was a donkey or an elephant, but i do agree that Bettman is a jackass!!

[italianstallion304]

some1 has been watching to much fox news! lol

[jdlewis60]

Truth and facts hurt all rich liberals like Teddy Kennedy, and John Kerry.

[italianstallion304]

are u kidding ? its, MOST not all but most conservitives that demonstrate wat wrong with western civilazation!! and how did we got on the topic of politics

[jdlewis60]

Yeah right, then explain the Venona Papers!

[italianstallion304]

omg im not even going to comment back an ur dumbass

[jdlewis60]

No, because you don't even know what the Venona Papers are, or what the significance of the content is.

[italianstallion304]

im sorry but conservatives have fucked up the damn country there is the iraq war, our health care can also be credited to them and then there is of course a huge amount of bill cuts for the upper class then the first on ur mind

[jdlewis60]

Again, you don't even know what the Venona Papers are, or what the significance of the content is.

[italianstallion304]

fine tell me wat hte venona papers are go ahead

[jdlewis60]

Do a search "Venona Papers"

[italianstallion304]

y cant u explain it?

[jdlewis60]

Read about it completely instead of trusting abridged versions and sound bites. It's long and involved.

[jjpeterson1]

The Libs and The Consevatives are on the same team, the opposition is the common American, so keep your guns..you'll need em when they start rounding ppl up like Jews.

[iangoblin71]

LOL...this is a tribute video for the Hartford Whalers, and we're talking about guns and rounding up Jews. WTF?! Haha

[jjpeterson1]

I get political sometimes, anyways lets all hope for another Canadian NHL team.

[iangoblin71]

Yes...here's a thought...move the Columbus, Nashville and Atlanta franchises, and bring back the 3 missing WHA teams- Hartford, Quebec and Winnipeg. Voila!

[frrrrrunkis]

Even as a Boston Bruins fan, I really miss the Hartford Whalers. Man, do I miss those Bruins-Whalers games...some intense battles over the years!

[trashers4cashers]

the nhl need another good rivalary like that

[italianstallion304]

true! bring back the whale

[nikstaaaxo]

jared bull is my dads best friends son so hes like personally knows me

[cheerUPxEMOkid]

they are saying that the NHL might come back to hartford, which i'm hoping, and i'll be happy about that, but they wont be the whalers if they do come back, fuck u rowland actually thinking u can bring the NFL in here by getting rid of the NHL, the NFL doesnt even have a shot at even thinking about coming to CT, u were better off keeping the whale!!

[bananabis420]

damn straight. how bout a FUCK YOU to mayor john destefano, for tearing down the beloved VMC! bastard took a big part of CT hockey. New Haven Hockey was the greatest, but the Whalers were awesome too!

[40warrior]

@bananabis420 amen to that, when the hartford whalers and new haven knights went things havent been the same even with bridgeport and the wolfpack now. i spent my childhood going with my dad to new haven and hartford and listen to old stories of the nighthawks and whaler greats. part of me died when they were gone

[Tigermask87]

I don't know I think if a team comes back to Hartford it will be the Whalers again. It will be easy to get the name back since the state owns the naming and merchandise rights to the Whalers. Why don't you think you haven't seen any vintage Whaler merchandise?

[trashers4cashers]

it's so shitty too because of that

[cntckl]

actually when the whalers moved, they madde a rare deal so the state of CT owns the name whalers. im not sure about the logo but i think they own that as well

[hunterpinarello]

lose shanahan

[tef0324]

more green jersey shots and brass bonanza is neccessary go whale!!

[threebboyz]

great freakin video. WHAT THE FUCK is with that music track though. No offense, but it is the cheapest funniest sounding song ive ever heard. Sounds like "All by myself" a little but then, no. its not.

ANYWAY I'm not picking on you whatsoever. Music is a bitch sometimes, especially original tracks. still fun to watch. and dont change a thing

[bernierules51]

nice nickname yank22fan. we played like shit today didnt we?

[bonn1771]

go Whalers

[gymerap]

Pssst. The southern experiment aint doing to well.

[smash29]

Rot in hell, Karmanos!

[zciweikram]

I'm with you there lucifer9292. Lets Go Whalers!!

[lucifer9292]

Very touching! Bring back the Whale!

[yank22fan]

i love the whale!!
