Brass Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Why was he hated in Carolina? He was part of the trade that sent Rod Brind'Amour to the Canes, who was the captain when they won the cup. If anything I'd think that Canes fans would be thanking him.As for why Primeau is hated in Carolina, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, or elaborate, but toward the end of his time with the Hurricanes, he was known as "Primeau-donna". He held out for a new contract, until he was traded for Brindy. While yes, I'm sure the Canes fans have been more than happy with what they got in return for Primeau, that doesn't change the fact that they felt he was a primadonna. The rumor at the time was that it was going to either be Lindros or Brind'amour for Primeau. Hindsight being 20/20, Brindy should be the Flyers captain to this day.Exactly. It's just like the Yashin situation in Ottawa. The fact that the team got Chara and a pick that turned out to be Spezza didn't stop fans from hating him and booing him any chance we got.Speaking of Chara, why do most Canadian teams (especially Montreal and Toronto) boo him at any chance they get? Simply because he played for Ottawa? On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Bump/Update/Back On Topic: Whalers jerseys are for sale. Kinda.River City Sports and IceJerseys are both now selling this take on the throwback, claiming to be from 1979. Ugh. First off, it's one of those acrylic sweaters, designed to replicate the wool looks of the '40s and '50s. Second, the crest is the more modern version, not the one the Whale debuted with in the NHL. Third (and most glaringly), no Pucky on the shoulders. Fourth, the hem striping didn't go all the way to the bottom until '85. In fact, after doing a little nhluniforms.com research, every aspect of this jersey appears to date from 1985 or later, and with the sleeve stripes straight and as low as they are on the sleeves, this looks to be the 1991-92 version.So, it's a jersey from 1991, claiming it's from 1979, made from materials designed to make it look like it's from 1952. I'd sooner set my $119 on fire than lay it out for this half-assed effort. Neon, please tell me there are more and better things coming for Whalers jerseys.

rmackman Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh, this is just a whole bucket o' Want. Good to see someone realized there's money to be had from the Whalers. I may even have to buy a new navy jersey - I still have an original one, but it's got my own name and number on the back. Hey, cut me some slack, I was 19 at the time.WOW I love this!

Milo Meningocele Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have that jersey and have been debating who to get on it. I'm thinking either Pronger or Coffey.-DanI guess if you wanted to go for star power, then yes, those are good choices. However, if you wanna go the "fan favorite" route, might I suggest Sean Burke or Geoff Sanderson? Could also go REALLY obscure with a Robert Kron!What, no love for Kevin Dineen?(or Jason Muzzatti?)I'm a week late, but what a memory jogger...Jason Muzzatti? Former Michigan State goalie? Wow, I either forgot or never realized he played in the NHL. Also, I see nobody's mentioned Zarley Zalapski as an option, what's up with that? Or did he never wear that version?By the way, this seems like a decent place to ask a question that I've long wondered about. How in the world did the nickname "the Whale" catch on? I mean, aren't whalers pretty much the opposite and enemy of whales? That always seemed weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, aren't whalers pretty much the opposite and enemy of whales? That always seemed weird to me.Zarley Zalapski is never an option, no matter how humorous the name may be, unless your goal is to make a Whalers fan cry. As for the nickname, once the move from the WHA to NHL came in '79, and the harpoon got ditched for the tail logo, the team's identity as a whole was much more identifiable with the animal than the profession. (Come to think of it, when they went to the NHL, they could have easily changed to the "Hartford Whales. Wonder if that was ever considered.)So, there's that, and there's also the semi-famous line from Mallrats: "Breakfasts come and go, Renee. Now Hartford? The Whale? They beat Vancouver maybe once, twice in a lifetime."Oh, and that Pucky patch does seem kinda inaccurate. He should have a little bit of a smile going on, and though it's partly obscured, something seems off about that eye detail.
