I don’t think so. The NHL wasn’t all that big a deal; beyond a few top teams their teams were mostly no different than average WHA teams. Players in an exhibition game would have included many on both sides that had played in both leagues ... the WHA guys weren’t a separate group of players harbouring a long-time grudge or inferiority complex, or anything like that.
Where did you get this info from?
The NHL wasn't a big deal, compared to what?
There were not many NHL players that had played in the WHA. Hardly any, actually.
The league, the teams and the players most certainly had an inferiority complex. Every game against the NHL was played with something to prove.
Just wondering, were you around to see WHA games at all?
