Buffalo Sabres
First of all, the logo they've used since some time in the mid-90s sucks. 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. |
 |
Detroit Red Wings
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. |
 |
Edmonton Oilers
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 (now the Carolina Hurricanes)
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
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. |
 |
Washington Capitals
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 (now the Phoenix Coyotes)
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. |
