Bro, you can’t just wield weapons like this so recklessly.

Whalers also had the WHA title in 1973. But yeah they were mostly trash otherwise

Whalers night pretty much reinforces why moving from Hartford was one of the best things the NHL/Karmanos did and why a franchise will never go back.
Its a saturated market and never grew the game. The folks with Bruins/Rangers flair saying “Conn native here, fuck the Hurricanes” are doing nothing but proving that.
New markets, like Raleigh, actually grow the game. Swapping jerseys doesn’t. Exactly why Atlanta will get a nod. Exactly why SLC will get a nod. New markets equal more fans.
Rant over.

Downvote me, call me a boomer, etc., but I’m not a huge fan of the Whalers thing. The jerseys are always beautiful, but it seems weird to keep wearing a different team’s gear. The Titans shouldn’t wear Oilers unis, the Avs shouldn’t wear Nordiques unis, and the Canes shouldn’t wear Whalers unis.

We’ve got to move on from the Whalers thing.
