Carolina @ Colorado 10-23 9Pm

This could be a game from the 1980s as the Hurricanes will play in the Whalers jerseys and the Avalanche will play in the Nordiques jerseys. The Canes will be looking to bounce back from their loss to the Golden Knights.

Whalers - Nordiques Game (Car @ Col)

30 years ago, the Quebec Nordiques became the Colorado Avalanche. For this anniversary, Colorado will play 7 games wearing the original Nordiques jersey this year. The first game will be this Thursday at 9:30PM eastern where they will host the Carolina Hurricanes, wearing for their part their Whalers jersey. So much nostalgia.

Green In Canes Uniform

Figuratively, this is the first time K'Andre Miller wears a regular jersey (he's been wearing a non contact since the beginning of the camp). And literally green, because, why not, they are partly wearing Hartford Whalers colors today (gloves, pants).

WHALING IN COOK STRAIT
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
BLENHEIM, This Day.
The Te Awaite #whalers have had a wonderful season so far. Yesterday two right whales were captured. One measured 70ft [21 m] in length, and at the thickest part 12 to 13ft [3.6 to 4 m] through. The #Perano party has already taken 44 whales this season.

"the archipelago was an opportunistic whaling ground for #Soviet #whaling fleets en route to and from the #Antarctic. In the northern #IndianOcean, #whalers illegally killed more than 1,200 blue #whales, including 500 near the Seychelles, between 1963 and '66... After surveying about 5,500 km, we had a total of 5 sightings of up to 10 blue whales. This was a phenomenal finding."
