…But Whalers Feel It Isn’t Enough
HARTFORD—It was a memorable conflict between the Hartford Whalers and the Minnesota North Stars that included 14 power plays, 100 penalty minutes and, from the Whalers’ point of view, a punishment that did not fit the crime. When Paul Holmgren arrived in Minnesota from Philadelphia, North Star general manager Lou Nanne proclaimed him to be “our John Wayne.” A former champion for the Flyers, Holmgren was expected to lend the Stars some much-needed character. Holmgren had earned a reputation of being tough, but fair. But in one violent moment, that reputation was forever altered. “I was stunned,” Torrie Robertson said. “I never thought he’d do something like that, especially him.” Robertson was referring to a spear administered to his face by Holmgren.

PLAN A:
Which National Hockey League club offers the best deal on ticket prices? Well, the answer to that question depends entirely on how you go about figuring it out. Perspective, it seems, is the key. Over there on Plan B, you’ll find a very subjective analysis of ticket prices combined with on-ice performance, giving you the best and worst teams as far as providing value. But, for those weak of heart or executives of the clubs that take a beating in Plan B, here are the straight goods on ticket prices across the NHL board. If you’re looking for commentary and analysis, opt for Plan B. Plan A deals with facts, and only facts. First, a few words of explanation.
