In case you missed it, here is former Hartford Whalers owner Howard Baldwin talking about bringing the NHL and the Whalers back to your capital city.

Also, as we mentioned on Face the State, Whalers gear is a hot seller these days. I noticed this store in Newport , RI (aka Hartford by the sea) selling Whalers merchandise. The folks there told me they cannot keep with the demand. Newport is a big destination for people from the Hartford area and in fact all of Connecticut, so it is no surprise.

This is proof that the Whaler’s need to come back.

As a Whaler fan in NYC it was a treat seeing Whale merch in the front window of the 5th ave store.
I went inside and found they were sold out of all hartford caps except one (a size too big for me). I bought it anyway and the guy behind the counter was wearing a whaler sweatshirt. It was crazy. But the whale is getting hot. I just don’t think bettman believes in hartford, period.
