Me, Whaler Elvis? Lets go Bruins clap clap.....clap clap clap The Whalers are not here and therefor, I don't worry about rooting for rivals of a team that does not exist. It took me about 7-8 years, but I'm a fan of the local team The first two times were hard for me growing up in Springfield, and rooting for the Blue and Green.....I used to flash a green strobe-light in the direction of my neigbors across the street in the window....He used to plow out a B's logo in our driveway when it used to snow....miss those times...Lived in Hartford for a couple of years, but am thankfully back in Western Mass (Chicopee)...Hartford needs some work...AND A STADIUM Gimme back my Whale!

A few hours after the Bruins eliminated the Canes, Steve Chiasson was killed in an automobile accident. I found this incredibly irry, because during the game just hours before, the camera focused on Steve sitting on the bench for no reason and not commentary...just silence with him on the screen. I thought to myself that it was strange they did that. Then the next morning I saw the headline and just couldn't believe it. I never saw a guy with a harder and faster slapshot. LONG LIVE THE WHALE!!!

Posts: 304 (04/29/09 18:26:49) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm sick and tired of seeing people up here in Springfield jumping on the Bruins bandwagon. Its disgusting to me to see so many people wearing Bruins stuff when 2 years ago, these people didn't even know about the team. Over a month ago, I went to the Holyoke Mall to see if they had any of the new Patriots jerseys in, and in The Sports Authority they didn't have one piece of Patriots apparel, not a jersey, not a shirt, not even a friggin hat. Its as if the Bruins have replaced the Patriots, which pisses me off as a Patriots fan. The other thing that pisses me off about this series is, as a Penguins fan I was hoping to see the Devils win, which would mean the Penguins play the Bruins, because I'm almost certain the Penguins could beat the Bruins, I'm not so sure about them beating the Capitals though. As you can tell, I hate both of these teams.

It's like everything though...same with the celts last year. How many were watching them lose 18 in a row 2 years ago (actually, I watched for the drama). People want to see happy things even in a diversionist happenstance like sports. People want to root for a winner. Having lived in Hartford (and still living there), I'm seeing more and more Sox hats than before. Most people who wear NY hats wear them for the colors and have no rooting interest though. I have no issue with bandwagon jumping if it's the local team. I hate it when people are all of a sudden closet Phillies or Steelers fans Gimme back my Whale!

So it must be fact. I'm sure the Celtics and Bruins both played to packed houses with plenty of corporate support while their teams were the laughingstock of their respective leagues. Only us CT residents don't know how to support a franchise...

Thats why they keep saying "Boston is a hockey town again" , listen to the announcers. Also, do you ever wonder how 3,000 plus hab fans can get tickets every time they match up at the fleet center. It happens to every team when they play poorly ( exception: all Canadian teams) BRING BACK THE WHALERS

Posts: 85 (04/30/09 18:57:41) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I don't understand how any whalers fan can root for the huricanes and that scum bag of an owner Karmanass!!! As much as the B's were a hated rival of the Whale, I can't support that low life's team!!!! I hope the Bruins kick them right out of the playoffs and on to the golf course like the Devils should have!!!! The Bruins can then get knocked out in the next round or two. I'm hoping Joell Quenville's original six Blackhawks can win the Cup this Year!!!! I would love to see old #3 finally knock out the Bruins!!! But as I explain to my daughters who were just baby's when the whale left town I support any team that beats the Hurricanes!!! You also have to admit the B's have done a nice job this year. I also always liked Mark Recchi and I like Tim Thomas who played at UVM!!!

Posts: 349 (04/30/09 21:11:47) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I would rather drink my vomit. I swear you all just regress and regress. Rooting for the Bruins at all shows that there was no real rivalry and you are all basically traitors. You have obviously all forgotten how the Bruins and Bruin fans were toward us. I guess being spat on and ridiculed meant nothing to you. The Bruins are a scumbag outfit. For Whaler fans to root for the now is beyond comprehension. As for Karmanos, I am a Yankee fan and a four-time Nader voter. If I can reconcile that then I can be a Hurricanes fan. I have said before I am basically indifferent to Karmanos, he is an owner after all. I would have moved the team too, which I have also stated previously. I just have a little more self-respect than to drop it all for the Boston Bruins.

Posts: 1208 (05/01/09 04:31:55) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I am rooting for the Bruins. I cannot possibly root for the owner who moved our team. While Bruins fans may have invaded the HCC, they have been very supportive of our cause for bringing the NHL back, unlike NY fans.

Posts: 1257 (05/01/09 06:13:47) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anyone who can root for the Hurricanes owned by Karmanos was never a true Whalers fan. Anyone who can root for the Rangers was never a true Whalers fan. Anyone who can root for the Bruins was never a true Whalers fan. You can root against a team, as I will against the Hurricanes as I wish more ill and evil to descend on Karmanos than the Bruins, but cannot root for one of them. Actually, to be honest...thinking about it...I couldn't care less. Karmanos is scum. The Bruins are scum. Maybe they'll both implode or something. LONG LIVE THE WHALE!!!

Posts: 131 (05/01/09 07:43:12) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Is there a way both can lose?? Here's to a savage seven game series that is littered with long drawn out overtimes and season ending injuries and suspensions. And whoever limps into the conference finals will have their panties handed to them by either Pittsburgh or Washington in a four game sweep. (As for the Cup, I'm guessing a rematch of the 1998 Finals).

Posts: 234 (05/01/09 10:30:22) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I am rooting against the Canes and for the Bruins...at least for this round. The Bruins fans have, for the most part, been supportive of our efforts and I feel like returning the favor. Also there is no way that I will root for a Karmoron owned team ever! IMHO the Whalers died in 1997. What plays in Carolina is a genetic freak that has no relation to Hartford or Hartford's loyal hockey Fans.
