I don't mind Chicago, Boston, NY or the Maple Leafs.

My second favorite original 6 team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. My first favorite original 6 team is a tie, between the 5 other ones.

Pittsburgh Pirates


Hey, they were in the NHL before Detroit, Chicago, and New York...

The Original 6 is a farce.

By 1942 after seeing many teams come and go from the NHL the league settled in with 6 franchises, the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks. These 6 teams stayed this way until the 1967 expansion and have become fondly known as "The Original Six."

Unlike your example of the Pittsburgh Pirates, these six franchises were not contracted or relocated. In 1967, there were six expansion teams. The Hawks, Wings, Bruins, Habs, Leafs, and Rangers were then referred to as the Original Six, meaning the Original six team from the pre-expansion era.

The original 5

Boston is off the chart Doesn't exist for me.

I started out as a Habs fan in the phenomenal rivalry against the frustratingly-good Bruins of the seventies, then converted to my local team the Canucks before their 1982 run for the Cup and then the Bruins stole Neely from us, so... except for Bourque, that franchise doesn't exist for me!

 

[Bloody Sabbath]

toronto - obviously
detroit - we don't play them enough for me to hate them, plus i respect their team.
chicago - i feel bad for them, so i can't hate them, lol
boston - our rivalry isn't that heated these days, so i can stand them.
rangers - hate what sather did with this team the past few years
habs - obviously

Bandwagoning at it's best

You could not find a Wings fan in the Detroit area when they sucked. They were known as the "Dead Things" they lost the older fanbase duirng those years and the young one jumped on board when the Wings became competitive.

I stuck with them through the "Road Game Only" broadcasts on Channel 50 through the lean years with Dale McCourt, Mike Foligno, John Ogrodnick and the declining Rogie Vachon.

So I digress....
