Date: May 19th, 2024 11:35 AM Author: wonderful brilliant spot I know almost nothing about hockey.
Here is a question. What is the most historically prestigious team? I would guess the Redwings or Blackhawks. |

Date: May 19th, 2024 11:56 AM Author: thriller snowy death wish dysfunction Hockey is really weird because of the salary cap elite players never make much more than 10 million a year. There's a lot of parity. Canadian teams basically suck now and have no shot at ever wink anything ever again.
The most desirable place to play for in the NHL is the Toronto Maple Leafs. They have a biggest fanbase and the median NHL player is an English speaker from Canada, Toronto is by far the biggest team in Canada. So the median pro hockey player growing up idolized the Leafs who are de facto Canada's team. I would say most guys dream of wearing the blue sweater on some level. |

Date: May 19th, 2024 12:05 PM Author: thriller snowy death wish dysfunction No idea. There's lots of hypotheses. One is the weakness of the Canadian dollar. You also have ultra small market teams like Winnipeg and Ottawa and Calgary who don't have the budget. The main question is why aren't Toronto and Montreal better. Those teams are rich and don't have an excuse. The Leafs and Habs are a lot like the New York Knicks they print money and have terrible ownership. Like the Knicks are owned by some fat guy like RSF whose dad started Comcast and he just gifted his idiot kid the Knicks. I think the Leafs and Habs are the same way they're just owned by rich idiots who don't care and the fanbase is rabid and keep handing over the money. Dallas Cowboys are the same, the fans keep filling the seats despite all the disappointment. So there's really only two Canadian teams that could win if they tried to really hard but ownership is out to lunch and they're just crazy profitable anyway. Without having to do anything they print money. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530102&forum_id=2#47673871) |

Date: May 19th, 2024 5:41 PM Author: thriller snowy death wish dysfunction Yeah but the weakness of the Canadian dollar impacts the revenue of Canadian teams. Not every team spends to the salary cap. I mentioned already some small market Canadian teams have no budget. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530102&forum_id=2#47674734) |

If you were the modal rural Canadian bro would you rather be in Toronto getting yelled at by media and fans all the time or chill with the Florida Panthers, wear shorts everyday, and no one bothers you cause 95% of the population doesn’t care about hockey?

Date: May 19th, 2024 12:40 PM Author: thriller snowy death wish dysfunction Depends on the personality type but traditionally being the best player on the Leafs is almost some kind of position of nobility. Remember Dion Phaneuf? He was like the First Man of Canada. Auston Matthews has assumed the role. It's a huge deal to star for the Leafs. You're a huge celebrity for life anywhere in Canada. I'm not saying that's for everyone but some people want to be that guy.
If you really want to play hockey and have no one know about you: Buffalo Sabres. The guys at your local bar will be your biggest fans. |

I bet you Auston Matthews would have rather played for his hometown Arizona Coyotes in complete obscurity vs. being the face of the Maple Leafs.

This is a team whose name originates from "Canadian hockey club." It's as blue blood as it gets. The other original 6 teams are all prestigious but none came close to the success of Montreal.
The second most prestigious team of all the is the Red Army, the Soviet team who dominated for almost half a century. They crushed everybody for decades.
If you want to only included expansion teams probably Pittsburgh (because of winning) or Edmonton (because of Gretzky). |

Date: May 19th, 2024 12:26 PM Author: crimson splenetic queen of the night gas station The most prestigious teams are Montreal, followed by the rest of the Original Six. Next tier is Edmonton, Flyers, etc. (non-Original Six teams with history, rabid fan bases, and multiple Stanley Cups). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530102&forum_id=2#47673930) |

Date: May 19th, 2024 12:38 PM Author: thriller snowy death wish dysfunction The Flyers absolutely blow. They haven't been relevant since the 70s. They do have a huge fanbase but ljl at being prestigious because of 2 Cups in the 70s. Most overrated team. Their ownership doesn't try even a little bit to make the playoffs or go on a Cup run. Pittsburgh has multiple eras of success. They are way more prestigious than tttFlyers who never win anything.
Also people forget LA Kings area a blue blood expansion franchise. Huge market team and they had Gretzky plus two recent cups. |

Senators from the capital of a country that bans free speech and is actively trying displace its native population by importing chinks and muds
Canadians is a stupid boring name. Almost as bad as the nationals or any other team name currently used by DC.
Maple Leafs in literally the only part of Canada where it's difficult to find a maple leaf
Flames in a country/part of said country where everyone is too much of a retarded unclever clod to run actual Flame
Jets in a city too fucking small to have an actual airport
Canucks in a city that is like 80% chinese and actually reeks of duck sauce. |
