Brass Bonanza: The City Of Hartford

Star of the day, who will it be? Your vote will hold the key. It’s up to you. Tell us who, will be star of the day. -Community Auditions

Brass Bonanza:  Ok, here we go!  Just in case you didn’t know.  Maybe you didn’t hear about it, you’ve been away a long time.  They didn’t go up there and tell you.  They didn’t go up there and tell you the Brass Bonanza Award is given to the week’s biggest loser.  Brass Bonanza was the Hartford Whalers fight song.  Need I say more?   

This one’s just too easy.  Like Ray Allen knocking down threesies.  Like D-Wade and sexually transmitted diseasies.  I mean, if the people for whom the award is named can’t win it, who can? 

The Mayor of Hartford and an entourage of business leaders met this week with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to “…make sure [they] put this city on the radar screen as a city that is bullish about bringing hockey back to Hartford.”  Are you guys out of your cotton pickin’ minds?  Hartford?  What in the name of Johnny Pie McKenzie are you guys thinking?

At the time of the Whalers departure, wasn’t Hartford the second-smallest market in the NHL, ahead of only Let’s Go Buffalo? I can’t imagine any of that has changed all that much.  Don’t forget, the Sabres market themselves throughout central and western New York.  Hartford’s marketability is severely limited by geography.  Severely limited.  Hartford is located on the dividing line between three New York teams and the Big Bad Bruins.  And besides, any city that retires Ulf Samuelsson’s number does not deserve a second chance.  

Brass Bonanza Award:

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
