OT: Any Whaler fans out there?

[dryheat44]

Hard saying, but the timeline looks tough for them to have been the Boston Whalers of the AHL. They were still in the WHA when they started playing in West Springfield and then moved to Hartford.

My typo. fixed. thanks. They were originally to be tenants of Boston Garden, but the Mooney family wanted an arm and leg for that privelege.

Incidently, did you know that the son of ex-Whaler coach Jack Kelly is David Kelly, the guy who creates embarrassing TV shows set in Boston? Ally McBeal, Boston Public, Boston Legal, and probably some I'm forgetting. Jack should have roughed him up more as a boy.
