Pretty sure they moved to Raleigh because you folks in CT didn't support them. The highest attendance average for a season in Hartford was 14,574. They average over 16,000 this year in that "Real Ice Hockey Hotbed."

BTW, they've won the Stanley Cup since they got here.

But I think the capacity at the Civic Center was about 15,000 at the time...and I'm with Billy on the salt-in-wound thing. That still stings and I haven't even lived there since 84.

Much less than that when the roof caved in.
