Old man Baldwin LOL

Will they bring back the exact old logo? It was SWEET!

Hope the change happens and the franchise can get their identity back.

No more living in yester-year

Just be thankful y'all have a team at all. Personally, I don't understand why they don't call them the Hartford Whalers unless the owner of the Hurricanes or someone else has the trademark registration for that name. I miss the old Whalers.....

Never should have been changed, period. The damage is done.

The Hartford Whalers name is NHL property I believe. Just like if Atlanta was ever in the AHL that team couldn't be named the Atlanta Thrashers.

The Whale experiment failed, not that it wasn't expected.

Glad the Pack Attack is Back! They never should have left.

3 year deal.
