Hey all.
Just a little background. I’m seeking to see which side to follow post Yotes. I’ve been mostly in the wilderness and haven’t actually paid attention to much hockey since. I’m looking to see who I can now put my obsessive support into until hockey returns to the desert.
As a kid (not American, didn’t have access to much NHL except for games), I followed Avs, probably because they were the best. However, because of my only inlet to hockey, I also held love, nostalgic, for the Ducks.
I came to the Yotes party much too late, probably around 2021. Became obsessed, particularly during lockdowns. As I mentioned, since the deactivation and the move to Utah I have been seeking another team to follow and it sure as shit, ain’t going to be Utah.
My options (in order):
- Anaheim Ducks (for nostalgic purposes, relatively harmless but a little bit of a rivalry)
- Colorado Avs (my childhood side, a bit of a cheat code at times, somewhat of a rivalry)
- Vancouver Canucks (I just dig them, bit of a scrappy underdog story)
- NY Rangers (big Chris Jericho fan. I know he’s a Jets fan but his dad played for NYR and I had his jersey as a kid).
What’s the consensus?
Thanks, peace ✌️

If I had my way i’d say the calgary flames LOL but from your list, ducks buddy. up and coming and great jerseys.
I was and remained a Red Wing fan before the Coyotes came to Phx.
Rooting for the ducks has felt decently natural, they hate all the same teams I hate
