Heff,I heard some talk on Boston sports radio recently that they might try to bring back a new Whalers franchise in Hartford.I also heard a Bradley driver mention something on it a while back.Any truth to it,or is it just talk???

A lot of people would love the Whalers back in town. The only problem is with the Hartford Civic Center ( whoops XL center). Outdated and no luxury suites. Do you get the team first then build a new arena ? Or build the arena and pray that a team will come.

The mayor had talks with Commisioner Bettman. Nothing is close but there are a lot of teams in the NHL hurting bad. I know Atlanta and Phoenix are losing money. Plus, who ever moves a team back here would probably have to pay Karmanos (Carolina Hurricane owner , formerly Whalers) for the rights to the Whaler name. Not holding my breath!

Thanks for the offer but I would rather eat glass.


The I Can Eat Glass Project

Some years ago, one Ethan Mollick created the I Can Eat Glass Project, which he described thus:

The Project is based on the idea that people in a foreign country have an irresistable urge to try to say something in the indigenous tongue. In most cases, however, the best a person can do is "Where is the bathroom?" a phrase that marks them as a tourist. But, if one says "I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me," you will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect.

Cove, just to show you how old I am, I used to drive down to Hartford from UMass-Amherst to watch jai-alai.
I used to have a love hate relationship with ZooMass. I used to hate delivering to the dorms, yet I loved seeing the the girls running around in their unmentionables (and sometimes even less!).

He never played for the Whale. Unless you are thinking of Geoff Sanderson.

I looked up Derek Sanderson on Wikipedia, what a life that guy had !!
Did you know Derek Jeter is named after him !
Jeter's middle name is also Sanderson !

Picture this scenario: A major snow storm dumps a huge amount of snow and ice on the roof. The structure can't take the load. Right after the place empties out from a basketball game the roof collapses into the arena. What do you do? Rebuild it bigger and better. Hopefully lightening can strike twice in the same place.
