The Mighty Whale
"Whalermania is what everyone's talking about, and I'm just glad to be a part of it." Joel Quenneville
File under :"There's no fucking way this will happen"...
Late last year, Gottesdiener told Connecticut officials that he had a plan to bring an NHL team to the city if they would help him build a new 16,000-seat arena in Hartford, where his company, Northland Investment Corp., of Newton, Mass., owns about $500 million US worth of real estate.
Trust me I'd love to see more uniform innovations like cooperalls come back, but there's no way that the Whalers (or any Hartford based franchise) will be lacing them up before a team in Las Vegas, San Antonio, or Winnipeg.
