http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080211133524AAqWKvX
so i’m just going to make my own list
Toronto Maple Leafs
Pittsburgh Penguins
New York Rangers
New Jersey Devils
Philadelphia Flyers
Detroit RedWings
Colorado Avalanche
Montreal Canadiens
Boston Bruins/Buffalo Sabers
and last but not least…i really want to say edmonton oilers but i don’t think that the revenue that they get from selling gretzky jerseys is enough for a team jersey revenue…and i want to say anaheim, but it’s in duck country. and you’ll notice there’s a lot of teams from the original six on the list…so my question is do people actually buy chicago blackhawks team jersey.
when i make a choice on the 10th team i’ll update this.
and to the other chick, yeah i would want to put the clagary flames on that list but we all know how strong the canadian dollar isn’t (forget about the last year), and just because it’s becoming a more popular hockey team to support, that wasn’t always the case. and i don’t want to put the sabres on that list either but i’m trying to think about the team, markets, and overall popularity, even through years that i wasn’t born. this is a time capsule type of question.
