Yeah, let me shed a single tear. Wait, nah, after "whalercanes", "Move back to Hartford", and "bring back the Whale" we've had to listen to for over 20 years, including ESPN calling them the Whalers and not the Canes when showing highlights of the Canes winning the Cup earlier that night in 2006, and the ESPN call of the 2002 moment the Canes advanced saying "Its strange but true, the Carolina Hurricanes are going to the Stanley Cup Finals"
Nah, sorry. If appropriating the Whale angers those people, then I'm all for it.
