First of all, the logo they've used since some time in the mid-90s is lousy.  That is why I am displaying their original logo here.  Second, the goal horn at the old Aud was the best in the league.  Third, Lindy Ruff was always cool in my book, but he earned extra points for calling out the league on Brett Hull's "No Goal" in the 1999 Finals.

I don't have anything against the Wings.  I respect them quite a bit, and their resurgence since the mid-90s is a good thing for the league.  Calling themselves Hockeytown is a bit much, even among American cities.  However, I can't dispute the success of 11 Stanley Cups.

• A blog on the Oilers called Low on Oil (which I find counterintuitive)

The Oilers were a second favorite of mine as a child, mostly because they were awesome and the Rangers were not.  So much could be said about their dynasty in the 80s, but for my money they possessed the greatest offense of any team in any sport in any era.

• Hartford Whalers Booster Club
• Hartford Whalers Hockey

WHA member turned sad sack NHL franchise, I know how I became a follower of the Whalers.  My fourth grade teacher's husband had a connection with the team and knowing that I enjoyed hockey, my teacher gave me a "Doug Jarvis: NHL Iron Man" poster and a team calendar.  Since moving to Carolina, I've been less a well-wisher and actually vehemently rooted against them in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals.

• New York Rangers Fan Club

My favorite team in any sport, I have been a fan since sometime in the late 80s.  If everyone has a hardship in life, mine is watching the Rangers every winter.

• Catch Maple Leafs fever

Thanks to mega-dirtbag Darcy Tucker and ultra-scumbag Pat Quinn, I've developed a disliking for the Leafs over the last decade.  People often say that they are hated the same way the Yankees are, which I won't dispute except to say that Yankee haters have good reason to be jealous of their success.  True the Leafs 13 Cups are second best all time, but the last one came in 1967.  Thanks to the Blackhawks, (and perhaps Wayne Gretzky) they're now on the hook for the longest drought in the league.  Remember: Losers Even After Forty Seasons.

• Washington Capitals Fan Club
• Capitals Outsider

I don't like the Caps.  I hated Dale Hunter.  I even felt a little bad for Pierre Turgeon, even though he was an Islander.  Plus, Rich Pilon (#47) dishes out a charge and spear combination for the ages.

• Winnipeg Jets Memorial Page
• Bring Back the Jets

I'm not really sure how I became a well-wisher for the Jets, probably because I felt bad for them because they were so pathetic for so long.  Still, Winnipeg deserves a team far more than Phoenix.  In 1990, they took a 3-1 series lead in the first round on Dave Ellett's double OT winner.  Winnipeg would blow the series lead to the eventual Cup winners from Edmonton.
