About Eye on the Media
Eye on the Media, debuted on Kukla’s Korner in February of 2008, and deals with all the evil, weird and just plain insane things that happen when hockey ventures into the foreign worlds of TV, Radio and News Print. I am a student, and a communications major, in New Jersey, which by association means you can blame me for destroying hockey. I love hockey and wants to hear everything you have to say about the way our game is covered.

Bleeding Green with Kevin Massicotte
by Steve on 03/19/08 at 01:59 PMComments (0)
I have one personal, Hartford Whaler-related memory. When I was about, I think, eight years old, my parents threw myself and my friends a Halloween party, in which I got annoyed that I could not win any of the costume prizes, because it wouldn’t be fair to the other kids since it was my party. During that party, the thing I remember most - oddly enough - is watching a Devils-Whalers game from Hartford on the old SportsChannel (Now MSG Plus). I remember names like Marek Malik and Paul Ranheim and Adam Burt and others. That’s about it for me with the Whale. They moved to North Carolina soon after, and even a eight year old Steve wondered why a team in Connecticut would see North Carolina as greener pastures.
Anyway, the movement to bring back the Whale has been on for quite some time, thanks to their still active booster club. Connecticut politicians are interested in building a new arena that would house a new incarnation of the Whalers, and there is interest from a developer named Larry Gottesdiener to build it and let them come. Now, filmmaker Kevin Massicotte has made a short film titled Bleeding Green, that documents the diehard Hartford fanbase’s plight to get it’s team back. I spoke to him, and found out his history with the team, his favorite Whaler moments, and why the NHL should rectify it’s mistake and give Hartford it’s team back.
