Raleigh is home to the Hurricanes, but also to the NC State Wolfpack, and Durham and Chapel Hill aren't too far away with the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels, respectively. It is pretty baffling that the Triangle has a pro hockey team when college athletics (or maybe even just college hoops) is the main sports fix in the region.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720852012614449367.post-71623906805100815942009-06-26T21:21:26.426-06:002009-06-26T21:21:26.426-06:00The haze of time may make things seem better than ...The haze of time may make things seem better than they were, I'll acknowledge that, but does North Carolina really need/want a hockey team?Craig Dodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786184200834114030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720852012614449367.post-36595374537407671822009-06-25T10:39:00.554-06:002009-06-25T10:39:00.554-06:00The Whalers uniforms are beautiful, I agree.

Because the NHL needs another uncompetitive, poorly attended, financially unsuccessful team??? The haze of time makes it easy to look back fondly on the Whale. Unfortunately the actual facts don't support most of those wonderful "memories" people have about that organization.<br /><br />Now back to the uniforms: personally I'd love to see the Hurricanes go back to the Whalers colours! They actually suit a hurricane perfectly. Since that's highly unlikely, it would be nice to see an element of the Whalers unis somehow incorporated into the Canes design.SunnyCloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968362520115059464noreply@blogger.com
