Speaking of whalers jerseys. This was on an episode of The Irrational on NBC Monday night
GDT: Canes v. Devils 2/10 7:00
- Thread starter andyt
- Start date
To be fair ... best as I can remember that was their reverse retro for one season. Which means the Avs probably wore it 2-3 times that one season. On the other hand, we get Whalers Night every year. As you know I'd prefer we didn't do this every year but I'm in such a minority that I don't complain about it. The Canes clearly benefit from the merch sales if nothing else, and I'm nothing if not a free market capitalist.
Both goalies notched 2 saves above expected. It was about a draw in net as they both played quite well.
It was more tense than boring ... at least for the 2nd and 3rd periods. The 1st was pretty dire.

for anyone who hates it for being a cash grab, I have some bad news to tell you, the other 81 games a year (plus playoffs) are also just a cash grab; why do you think a $2 beer is $16 at the arena?
I think it's fun, most people enjoy seeing it, and the Whalers were kind of a unique thing - I think it's fine to have some fun with it, and if it helps fill the coffers, so be it because that's what everything they do and sell is designed for.

Never been a fan of the "Whaler" thing, but if it's one night a year, then so be it. But I absolutely HATED hearing Tripp and Mike call them Whalers all game long. It's NOT the Whalers. They've been the Canes much longer than they ever were the Whalers. Do NOT refer to them as Whalers for the entire game. I think that stinks.
