The first team I watched/loved as a kid was the Hartford Whalers. Around 1975ish. I was 5 or 6. Also was a Red Sox fan too.

I love it, you and I are the same age. Nothing like the sound of Brass Bonanza!

Didn't the dineen brothers play for the whalers back then?

One Dineen brother (Kevin) but don't forget Chris Pronger, Brendan Shanahan Mike Liut (spelling)
Ulf FUCKING Samuelson Geoff Sanderson and Ron Francis!

LOL we should get a RIU men's team together and play in a tourney!

good memory!!! i remember having a 45 record with brass bonanza on one side and a recording of a huge brawl with the Whalers and another team. just about wore that thing out on the record player.

and i think sean burke was the goalie before they became the Hurricanes. lots of talent came thru little old Hartford.

Awsome! Looking it up right now! They had some great players but it seemed
that when they came to the Whalers they never lived up to expectations. I thought
they would get it going when they got Shanahan but he didn't want to be there...

Nice to see Kimmo Timonen finally win a cup. He's a real class act that guy.

as a Flyers fan, was really hoping that Kimmo would hoist it. What a way to retire in style,huh??

No doubt. I played in Philly before he came along, but I've got a few peeps still in the organization, and to a man they all vouch for what a great guy he is. Nice to see a good person like him finally get a ring.

oh man. my bro in law likes jim's too. and he's a steelers and pens fan. needless to say, do not like him.

about 3 months before joey vento (geno's) passed, my wife took him a 8x`11 of our dog wearing a Geno's shirt. he put it up right at the front of the place, just to the left of where you order the steaks.

how soon before timmo did you play there? i'm quite curious.

The current GM was between the pipes. That's all you're getting out of me. lol

 

[rkymtnman]

ok. the glory days. did you happen to go to "monsters of rock" at the old JFK stadium??

i won't ask anymore. just chatting with an ex flyer is good enough for me. is there a better city to play in other than philly? maybe montreal? or detroit?

 

[st0wandgrow]

I didn't see that concert. Saw quite a few, but not that one. Billy Joel and Elton John on the same stage was really great. The finished up with Philadelphia Freedom.... so good!

I really enjoyed my time there. It's tough to compare Canadian cities as hockey is really the only show in town, but as far as American cities go Philadelphia is right up there. Great restaurants, great sports teams, and great people.

Funny how he wanted to give it away right away and the guy's had to ask him
to take it around. Woulda been a fist fight if I was him before I was ready to
give it up!!!!

I've got the DT's bad: shaking, headaches, etc. since it's winter in Australia, do they televise any hockey??
