My only connection to the Hartford Whalers is that I saw the Capitals beat them once in the mid-90s. Other than that, I am generally indifferent except for one thing — their theme. Brass Bonanza came about in the late 1970s and started being played after Whalers goals. It is catchy in that 70s way. I don’t think it got played too often as the Whalers were never very good. They moved to North Carolina and became the Hurricanes in 1997 or so and have since won a Stanley Cup. They had a clever logo too — note the letter “H” in the the negative space.
I really need to get my Caps season write-up done soon.
