ok since im trying to get into hockey now and only know football
can someone kinda do cross referencing with the nfl to help me understand how things work around here? for example: is there a team thats as annoying and has an annoying fanbase as the cowboys or what is the "cowboys" of the nhl? who is currently the best player and goalie in the nhl? I do read power rankings so I got an idea about team rankings. Is there any team that usually is bad like the browns? Are there any cities unworthy of a fanbase/team like the jags? also what are the most marketable teams(teams seen most on tv) that could compare to say like commercials always showing cowboys, eagles, giants, pats, manning(he is the team), and etc? also what are the most hated and liked teams?
sorry for all the questions but im really curious to how things work. also scarrr and penulty
Annoying teams and fanbases: Probably Pittsburgh
AND VANCOUVER
Best Goalie: eh... not really sure. Before this season I would have said Henrik Lundqvist of the NY Rangers but he is off to a really bad start.
Usually bad teams: Edmonton, Florida
Unworthy of a team: Phoenix and Florida (sorry dubbed). These teams home games are pretty empty and you can get tickets for pocket change.
Most marketable teams: Pittsburgh, NYR in the US I think. Maybe the Washington Capitals a couple years ago. Probably Chicago and LA as well. In Canada its all about the Leafs and Habs in terms of coverage I believe.
Most Hated: Probably Pittsburgh/ LA
