another thing that pisses me off. on all the ea sports nhl games for ps3 or xbox, the hurricanes dont have the whalers jersey choice. colorado has the nordiques, coyotes have the jets jersey and so on. why is that? they were determined to completely erase any memory of the whalers forever.
in NHL 11 you have an option of Whalers retro jerseys while playing with Carolina. You can also create your own team and uniforms using the Whalers logo. I created a jersey as close as possible to the ones they were wearing here in the 90's
Man! Did hat twat Karmanos steal everything from Hartford on the way to Carolina or what? He took the ownership, the team, the goal horn and probably more from the looks/sounds of it.
Anyway as a Habs fan, I sure miss these epic moments when facing the Whalers.
The Hartford Whalers seemed to reincarnate as the Columbus Blue Jackets (im not saying that thaey are, and im not dissing the Whalers, my grandpa was a longtime whalers fan before he was a blue jackets fan) Their fan bases were/are both Blue collar, sell out every game and go crazy after every goal. Long live the Whale!!!
Sorry but your wrong. Ever been to CT? Over 75% of the work force works "white collar" jobs. BUT we whaler fans were/some of the most passionate fans in all of sports. People just have trouble believing that "white collar" people can be passionate sport fans.
That 'hook' would have been called in 'Bettman Hockey'.... The crowd is FAN tastic!! I'm biased, born in Haaatfaaad , and a 40 year fan that PROUDLY sports a fist size WHALERS logo tattoo. LOVE these 'old' clips!!
wishful thinking my friend, I wish though too that it could be true. Perez supposedly put a few efforts into getting a hockey team back here. Keep your fingers crossed but don't hold your breath.
@blairzel IDK. I mean I wish the Whalers came back to Hartford, but the only problem is that they would have to compete with the Bruins for fans. Plus there is the whole re-aligning the divisions b.s. I think the only team that should be moved in the NHL is the Phoenix Coyotes. No offense to Coyote fans, but I think they should move the Coyote franchise back up to Winnipeg and bring back the Jets. But if the Whalers came back, that would be cool too.
@SickVicious996 the whalers had no problem selling the civic centre out when they were winning. wasnt often...but they had 3 million people to draw on between hartford springfield and new haven. the bruins arent the problem...winning was. the next team will be called connecticut whalers...not hartford.
i think its good the way it is now, players arent playing the way they used to. The idiots cant really get away with it anyway I think the style of the game allows players like crosby, malkin, ovechkin to do their thing and inhibits players like domi, bertuzzi, etc from doing their thing
i always heard the whalers filled the building more often then not, but the numbers were blotched and they used that as an excuse to leave. im a rangers fan but id love to have a team back in hartford. i dont really go see the wolfpack to much, id rather see the rangers and the whalers again.
i dont need to say anymore. ur shithole team lives behind the shadows of the rangers and thats y u barely get 10,000 fans a game. a pathetic number for a pathetic team

You need a tool, one that will fix your Brain.
GET A NEW TEAM, GET A NEW TEAM, GET A NEW FUCKING TEAM ALREADY! The Whalers were shit, they never did shit, they play enormous little brother to the Bruins. They were a kick around team, and they played in a Mall.
rangers fill MSG every game. islanders have lowest attendance record in the NHL. wake the fuck up. islanders are one of the teams on a list that would be up for moving
which team has better attendance? why are you on every whalers vid if you hate them so much? why do u subscribe to edzieprov if all he puts up is whalers vids? get a fucking life and get off the internet
go the hell away, you AND your 4 cups, and your "best TV contracts in sports". Best TV contracts in SPORTS. The Islanders. Okay buddy no TV network would want to have a set up in a mausoleum. Er, the Coliseum.
look in the mirror before you talk about other teams. your precious islanders have the lowest attendance in the NHL with barely 10,000 seats sold each game
it looks like there are some people in those seats???? I thought no one went to Whaler games you asshole ... do us a favor and un plug your computer so there will never be another jack ass uneducated comment from your sorry self on this web site busting on the Whalers .... fuck you pal
Hey man, you're team lost its luster during the 90's pal. It's over. New York has too many hockey teams anyway. I'd laugh my ass off if they decided to move you're Islanders to Hartford.
No call by Walkom! lol

I don't give two shits about the Raggies.
They have 1 cup in my lifetime, I have 4, why should I care about them? When they win 3 more in my lifetime, then I will pay attention to them.
The order of respect goes up, not down, they are beneath me and have always been and always will be.
