What was your favorite year of your favorite team?

[TheAngryHank]

I'm going with the 1997 Detroit Red Wing.
98 would be close but not without Vladdy.

The year the Leafs went to the conference final against the Hurricanes.

 

[The Macho King]

2004 to date, although this is the most fun I've had in a regular season.

That narrows it down

That narrows it down

2004 is my favorite season (due to result), although this season is giving it a run based on the regular season so far.

Sorry for the lack of clarity.

 

[HisIceness]

2005/06. Easily.

 

[Calgareee]

Calgary

Easy answer is 88-89

But that run in 03-04 and the fact that I got to enjoy the red mile and the craziness that was that team and the impromptu party just pushes it past the actual win.

Besides we won it in game 6

 

[hangman005]

As a Golden Knights fan I found it difficult to choose but the 17/18 season just managed to sneak ahead.

 

[blundluntman]

The right answer is 2001 for Avs fans but I wasn't an avid fan at that point. So probably 13-14

 

[PunkRockLocke]

For the Canucks, I should say 2010-11...but that a pretty bitter taste in the end.

1993-94 also was great, and the ending wasn't nearly as bitter as 2011. But the regular season wasn't really all that special.

I'm going to say 2002-03. Had a very good, very fun team to watch. They could have made more noise, potentially even SCF if not for Cloutier

 

[JT Kreider]

I was only 4 in 1994 so that doesn't count. I loved the 2012 Rangers led by Callahan and Dubinsky. McDonagh looked as if he was on the verge of becoming a perennial Norris contender.

And say what you want about Torts, his team played their dicks off and outworked their opponents every night.

I also have very fond memories of the 2008 playoffs and invading the rock in Games 1, 2 and 5.

The right answer is 2001 for Avs fans but I wasn't an avid fan at that point. So probably 13-14

If i had to guess i bet Avs fans are split between 96 and 01.

 

[SEALBound]

Pens: 1992 was fun. 2001 with Lemieux's comeback was amazing. 2009 was pretty good. 2016 was pretty great.

Tough to choose.

 

[Mandar]

While the vast majority of Ranger fans will say 1994 (and rightfully so), those of us who were around and saw that 1979 team's march to the finals....well, it was extremely magical.

 

[Syckle78]

97 without a doubt. Nothing will ever,ever trump Yzerman raising the cup For the first time.

 

[blundluntman]

If i had to guess i bet Avs fans are split between 96 and 01.

I think the Bourque storyline and Sakic's hart trophy run edge it out but 96 was a great year as well. 01 just had the storyline working for it also

 

[Bizz]

2004.

2016 was great and all but that 2004 team was good AND exciting to watch. If the 2004 Sharks had Thornton they would have won the Cup handily.

 

[La Bamba]

2006 followed by 2016

Became a fan in 2006. All we Oiler fans hear about is the 80s glory days but I don't feel any connection to it

Even as a Canucks fan, I was cheering for that Calgary team after you beat us.

Oh boy that was fun.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Pens: 1992 was fun. 2001 with Lemieux's comeback was amazing. 2009 was pretty good. 2016 was pretty great.

Tough to choose.

Yep

 

[The Panther]

The Oilers' team I enjoyed watching the most was the '88 playoff team, which -- against expectations -- won it all going 16-2, beating three of the top-5 teams in the NHL (incl. sweeping the 1st overall team).

However, although it was a bit before my time, the 1984-85 team is my favorite. One of my strong memories of childhood is the clinching game five of the Finals, when Edmonton destroyed Philly 8-3 to win their second Cup in a row. That's actually the first hockey game I can remember watching in full. It's been all downhill from there...

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'll never get over the 2014 roller coaster ride.

 

[Bramskii]

Regular season only would be 2008/2009

Overall is probably 1999/2000 or 2011/2012

 

[Linda Bacon]

2003
my favorite Devil team of all time

 

[mariolemieux66]

The 1993 Montreal Canadiens.
