What The Hell! hartford actually had good attendence, why da fuck did they toss em'! >8C

[EdzieProv]

@magafuzzeeballz They didn't toss them. The asshole owner is from Michigan. He wish he could afford to own the Red Wings but purchased the Whalers. If the NHL allowed 2 teams in Detroit, he would have moved them there. It'll be a matter of time before the douche bag relocates them from North Carolina.

Hartford Whalers logo is my favorite logo.

[EdzieProv]

@jet4212006 I loved the logo as well. It was unique. The W with the whale tale. A lot of people didn't realize the H in the center for Hartford.

Loved driving up to Hartford to see the Whale at the MALL. Chucks steak house.I'm an Islanders fan.Cleanest Arena in the NHL.

[EdzieProv]

@robphilll22 Hartford had one of the nicest arenas back in the day. I used to love going. Grab a bite to eat in the basement food court before the game. The good old days!

give away the coyotes thrashers panthers annd then give them to hardford, Quebec and winnipeg They deserve them more

[ElmerFudd16]

@sabresrock234 Well the Thrashers are in Winnipeg now. At least move the Coyotes. Panthers appear to be on the upswing with both increased attendance and better play.

@EdzieProv A Seattle hockey team would be pretty cool eh?

[MetroUltras]

I think I would break down and cry if this ever happened in new jersey

[jcjr87]

@DrStephenAwesome disagreed. The bolts have done fine

[leafkillz]

@sabresrock234 Coyotes to Hartford, Jackets to Quebec and Panthers to Seattle.

Hartford was caught geographically and figuratively between two larger and more traditional sports cities - New York and Boston - and it's a city where loyalties are divided even when the Whalers were there. It had some Bruin fans (the Celtics played some home games at the Civic Center, too) and a large concentration of Ranger fans particularly in Stamford/Greenwich and Fairfield County. It's doubtful the NHL will come back to Hartford, but stranger things have happened.

@wewd I'm ALSO from Southern California...but a Ducks fan.

But one thing we and ALL So. Cal fans can agree on--

WE WANT THE NORDIQUES AND WHALERS BACK!

Who cares about facing the Coyotes, they're awful, their arena's empty, and their most of their fans--all 200--are ignorant...they don't Bleed Coyote Red and CERTAINLY not like those that bled and still bleed Whaler Green...

The Jets came back to Winnipeg--Quebec and Hartford left with them, I say, complete the hat trick, bring them ALL BACK!
