And that attitude is exactly why we don't deserve a NHL team

Get the hell outta here you non fan

We don’t have a team because the facility they played in was outdated for years before they left and it’s only gotten worse.

If you’re talking about the Wolf Pack, you’re right, I’m not a fan. They aren’t the Whalers. If you’re talking about the Whalers, go fuck yourself.

Yes. We would need a new arena. That would require big $$$$.

No way in hell am I going to support a minor league team of the fucking New York Rangers.

I guess I'm a non fan too with my Sean Burke and Stu Grimson Jerseys.

I pretty much stopped watching hockey after this...just left a bad taste in my mouth...was at the last game and cried like a baby. I still casually check in on my backup teams (Pens, Sens) to see how they are doing, but as long as Bettman is running things, fuck the NHL.

The fans were not the problem. As I said in other Whalers posts, We threw a goddamn parade when they won the Addams....not a conference...the division. We lost the team because Karmonos couldn't afford his precious Red Wings, Bettman wanted his legacy to be a southern and western expansion of the NHL, and Rowland was too busy being used as a pawn by Bob Kraft to get a better deal in Foxboro to notice.

The Wolfpack being a Rangers minor team is another reason nobody will move in. MSG Inc owns the Civic Center, they'd never allow it to be used by another team.
