Stories of Defunct Franchises

[Bertmega 1,192]

I am a little young for some of the old team teams, but I would love to hear stories from those that remember some of the failed franchises. 

 

1) Hartford 

2) Quebec 

3) Kansas City

4) Colorado Rockies

5) Atlanta Flames

6) Oakland Seals

7) Cleveland Barons

 

I think that is it, unless we want to include the Thrashers; which outside of Heatley and Kovalchuk there is isn't much to say.

No need to lie to us.

 

Just tell us you want to hear stories!

A little young compared to Jimmy Carter.

 

I would love to hear about the Seals. White skates, naked ladies, clueless owner

A couple of years ago I posted in the history section a brief history on each of  the defunct NHL teams and if memory serves several of the WHA teams as well.

I just got caught up on your write-ups. I am sad that I did not see them sooner. They were fantastic. 

 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I can tell you I miss the Whalers  , miss watching their 

epic battles with Boston  . 

 

Kevin Dineen scoring the final goal in Hartford was 

some kind of special, some kind of perfect.
