No way in hell am I going to support a minor league team of the fucking New York Rangers.

I guess I'm a non fan too with my Sean Burke and Stu Grimson Jerseys.

I pretty much stopped watching hockey after this...just left a bad taste in my mouth...was at the last game and cried like a baby. I still casually check in on my backup teams (Pens, Sens) to see how they are doing, but as long as Bettman is running things, fuck the NHL.

The fans were not the problem. As I said in other Whalers posts, We threw a goddamn parade when they won the Addams....not a conference...the division. We lost the team because Karmonos couldn't afford his precious Red Wings, Bettman wanted his legacy to be a southern and western expansion of the NHL, and Rowland was too busy being used as a pawn by Bob Kraft to get a better deal in Foxboro to notice.
