Jul 7, 2008 - do ur research. Whalers have the most support out of all of the NHL teams that have died.

Jul 7, 2008 - He was an intricate part of the Oilers dynasty and won two cups with the Pens; I would be REALLY pissed off if I was him and got banished to Hartford.

CCampLI Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I read your petition, it's a waste of intenet space. I also know who Alan Viktor is; the Messiah will come back to Earth before professional hockey comes back to Hartford.

CCampLI Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Being in love with that Whalers green is like being in love with your boogers.Same color, same value.

Jul 7, 2008 - even though im a big time bruins fan i loved the whalers they were a 2nd team to me basically.. and even though its true the bruins destroyed them every year in the playoffs.. they were fun to watch

Jul 7, 2008 - Hmm are you sure? I never seen a city so mad (when you I mean mad...) after the Nordiques moved to Denver.Still sucks that 24 out of the 30 NHL teams are set in the US, as most American citizens (except in Michigans, and maybe Minnesota, please forgive me if I forget any) do not care about hockey! They like Basket, Football and Baseball best, which is ok!There would be a lot more cash to do in Winnipeg, Québec City, or some other city in Québec or Ontario, than in Phoenix or Long Island.

Jul 7, 2008 - Correction. US Sports Media likes all of those aforementioend sports better. The US has consistently high attendence records. Even for southern cities like Dallas, Tampa, and San Jose.

eggsmcmuffin Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The problem with the whalers wasnt attendence. It was demographics. Hartford is right between two of the biggest sports cities in the country. Boston and New York. Because of this the whalers were never broadcast on TV.

Jul 7, 2008 - gary bettman sucks ass for this

sabresscarygood Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - i like the song

xlibman Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Nords had the best support according to attendance lists since 1989. However it doesn't matter, all 3 teams had better attendance than let's say for example NY Islanders or Ottawa Senators back then and Nordiques even were in the NHL average twice since 1989. It's not attendance that killed those teams it's government failure to support the team financially and the lack of a salary cap back then

xlibman Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - by nords having the best support i was talking about those 3 defunct team btw lol

sabresscarygood Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - As a sabres fan i miss the old days and watching the sabres and whalers play each other, they were good games and there was alot of fights, i really hate todays carolina hurricanes.

Jul 7, 2008 - old teams rule hartford whalers kansas city scouts and the old minnesota team

acebladez97 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - wish they would bring a pro team back to CT

sabresscarygood Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - this old team

sabresscarygood Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Everyone go to carolina hurricanes vids and trash them!! They have no fanbase for hackey in carolina!! They average about 10,000 people in their arenas for games and they dont even sell out playoff games. The fans that they do have are pricks!! The big point is the stanley cup does not belong in carolina! So go on their vids and their fans pages and tell them how huch you want the canes to move back th hartford where they belong!

RiptideHockey31 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - i love the wolf pack. but having an nhl team would be way better.

hillmert Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - To me, the Carolina Hurricanes will be the Hartford Whalers.

whaleforlife Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Whalers fans join whalerwatch. com

pwnzdarefru Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - they need to bring the whalers back because there needs to be a team in conneticut for the rangers to play because the islanders suck and thier team needs to be taken away and the devils are gay so i say bring back the whalers

CCampLI Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The Isles suck so badly they have 4 cups, a plethera of NHL records/history that is noteworthy.What did the Whalers accomplish other than winning 1 division banner in 17 years?The Devils make your comment look retarded to boot, the Whalers were horrible.....HOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRIBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE. That "H" on the old Whalers crest did NOT stand for Hartford....it stood for HORRIBLE HOCKEY.

CCampLI Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - "Blubber hockey."

thebig1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Find a businessman with money and build an arena with public funding and you'll get a team in Hartford. The NHL is currently 30 teams and has room for 2 more teams to expand but after that its over. I say give the teams to Hartford and Winnipeg!!!!
