Coming from a Basketball and Football Fanatic 🔥🤙🏽 Been wanting to get into some NHL…. Thx for this vid. I was probably gonna go for the Arizona coyotes but now im thinking otherwise.
@@cursingsaint2388 Geographically it’s hard to say, but maybe the Blues. That’s not a perfect answer by me, but I’d say look at what games are in your region and that could help decide if it’s a team close to you.
Thanks man really appreciate it im 26 and just now getting into hockey and it's alot to try to figure out not a big sports guy but damn hockey is fun to watch also you sound like moist critkal
Great video, good advice. I'm a NHL newbie watching in the UK. I chose to follow the Ottawa Senators, they aren't an old team, but they're not new either, since thier new franchise in '92. I like their players and their fans seem down to earth not arrogant like fans on the other side of Ontario. Maybe this season will finally be the one for them. Go Sens Go. 😊
Thank you! The Sens are a great choice, and have a really fun team. The history of their old team is so interesting to look back at, and this version of the Senators is unique too. Hopefully they make the playoff this year!
I'm getting back into hockey at 22 years old. I loved it when I was a kid. Mike Modano was my favorite player, but the Ducks were my favorite team because I watched The Mighty Ducks dozens of times growing up. I'm still deciding my favorite team. It'll come to me lol
Ducks might not look so hot right now, but there’s reports they could be switching back to the Mighty Ducks logo, and have some intriguing young guys. Maybe a reunion of sorts could happen 😏!
I like all the team in Dallas but I like the new york Rangers because I grow up watching them and it was the first team I watch when I first watched hockey
The Rangers are a really fun team to watch right now, so I’m sure you’re happy 👍! I’m not sure how far they can go in the playoffs since they struggle to score at 5v5, but a hot run in the postseason can change that!
I'm just a random Portuguese guy who wants to get into NHL... I'm still trying to chose a team to follow but I'm super excited to start watching the games
Agreed, there’s people that get mad if you don’t like the team of where you’re from, but the whole point of watching a sport is to be entertained. Personally I grew up in a state that doesn’t have a team, which definitely helped me deal with less crazy fans 😅.
My other favorite teams are the Brewers, Bulls, and Bears. I claimed the Golden Knights as my fav team when they were first announced, but I actually started watching this year and now I’m not sure what team to root for. Geographically it should be the Blackhawks but I don’t feel good supporting that organization currently. What should I do?
It’s tough cause I know a lot of people don’t want to support Chicago right now, and for obvious reasons. My best advise is to support the team you feel you like the most, or to decide if there’s a team besides Chicago you could like that’s close to you geographically 👍. If you need any more help let me know!
I'm a HUGE soccer fan but one day while waiting To watch NBA PLAYOFF game, there was a NHL game and I loved IT I want to get into it, starting next season PS: My only issue will probably be, the time difference cause I live in France, but that's fine, I'm used to it with the NBA SO Thanks for the video Bro ! U gain a sub
Thank you! I always love to hear where everyone is from, and I believe you’ll be my first subscribe from France 👍! If you need any helping finding a favorite team, let me know 👍!
Im brazillian and new to hockey. Only 1 year of watching games. I like the canucks because i saw them in the "how i met your mother" tv show, it was the team of robin scherbatsky. I google them and they have no stanley, but 3 finals.
New to the nhl from uk struggling to find a team as i have nothing to go on but i love the sport since when i first watched a game. Because im struggling to find one team i might just root for one in each conference would that be wrong?...😊
Not wrong at all! With the league likely expanding to 36 teams in the future it’s going g to be even harder to win a Cup. I don’t see why people don’t deserve to like at least two teams 👍.
@@HockeyBrigade if you had to pick one which one would you go for? Put it this way it would be easier for me to watch the bruins but I prefer the way and style oilers play....
@@ryanhazlewood1693 I’d say Oilers if you’re really enjoying their game. The Oilers will want to keep McDavid and if they do they’ll probably have one of the more exciting teams for a while.
I’m totally new to hockey and in the UK. Watched my first game in the early hours of this morning - Canadiens vs Canucks, and the Canucks were a real fun watch so I’m considering rooting for them. I’m also interested in the Oilers too tho, so I’ll have to make a proper decision after checking out a few more matches.
Definitely don’t feel like you’re in a rush to pick a team 👍. The Canucks or Oilers would be a great choice, because they have some really fun players.
@@HockeyBrigade the Canucks would be a horrible chocie the only team with a bigger cup drought is the leafs but just 3 years .. are u serious the Canucks have a bottom 5 all time regular season record no playoff success their known to rebuild endlessly .
So I live in Wisconsin and can’t figure out a team. I have espn+ so I can get mostly every game every night but the wild are blackout on it.. so I need help finding a team lol
How do you watch games on ESPN+? It always tells me I don’t have the right package every time I try to watch anything! I pay for it so what the hell is going on.
@@thomasnault7811 Try logging out then logging back in. If that doesn’t work then try uninstalling the app, reinstall it and sign back in. I had the same issue too, but it works now 👍!
I’m from Atlanta so I’m waiting for possibly a new team in Atlanta but I want to get into hockey so I am thinking of supporting a team until atl gets one
Ironically I’m actually putting out a video in the next few days where I share my thoughts on possible expansion in the future. Hopefully you get a team, and can find one to support in the meantime!
@@HockeyBrigade I will for sure watch I think I have decided to cheer for the Blues just because I am a St. Louis battle hawks fan(xfl) and I’ve got nothing against St. Louis
I will say if you’re hoping to watch a team that will still be a good in a few years, then Colorado’s probably the way to go. Pittsburgh’s had a lot of success, but have a lot of veterans set to retire in the coming years. Either way though, go with the pick that feels right 👍!
I don’t know much about soccer/football, but I know Tottenham is a tough team to support 😅. Hopefully Edmonton can treat you better, and get you a trophy 👍!
@@HockeyBrigadetest your loyalty but u say the Canucks are a good pick in other comments and don't even mention loyalty .... Like the Canucks haven't failed for 53 years .. atleast the oilers got some cups
It’s tough to say right now, because some teams are really early in their rebuilds. Also, a few teams that have/had bright futures may be underperforming a bit. Detroit is a team people are excited for their future. Dallas is too, because they’re competitive now and have some really interesting prospects 👍.
I‘m a Wisconsin sports fan from Austria and I wanna get more into the NHL. So I‘m torn between the Red Wings and the Wild. Still don‘t know who I like more lol
That’s a big predicament 😂. Definitely a rivalry with both states, so it’s tough. Both have bright futures though and Detroit has a ton of history, so maybe that will sway you 👍.
@@HockeyBrigade that‘s true 😂 well I guess I tend more to the Red Wings since they are more of a traditional club with a big history like you said. Oh and thanks for the answer! 😄
I watch football all my life (soccer in america) and i tuned into nhl game few days ago and it was more exciting than most football games these days 😂 i like penguins the most so far...kinda want to support montreal or bruins because slafkovsky and chara are from the same country as me
I have been to a wings game had an amazing time but I dnt know who to cheer for I watched toronto for 2 seasons but since I live in the US I feel I should cheer.for an american team I like toronto,the wild,Blackhawks and detroit
I'm really liking the Predators so far. I'm also thinking of picking an Eastern Conf. team geographically (Georgia) between either Canes, Caps, Lightning, or Panthers.
Honestly it’s really tough to decide because so many teams are good in that area. My best advice would be to pick the team you feel the most interested in, and if it’s a tough decision, then pick the team that’s closest to you. That way it’s easier to go to an occasional game if you want to.
All very historic teams! I would say that Chicago probably has the bleakest future at the moment and are dealing with a scandal, but have three recent championships. Toronto is the best of the bunch right now, but there’s the long title drought. Finally there’s Detroit, they should be a regular playoff team soon and seem fun. If you need any help let me know 👍!
@@HockeyBrigade I do prefer an original six team because of the history behind them but out of all them I am torn between Red Wings, Blackhawks and Rangers. I like the Ducks because I grew up watching the Movies but I don't fancy them as a primary team.
Im from singapore so I dont really have a particular allegiance to any city lol but ive always supported the seahawks and mariners so ill prob just support the krakens anyways. But the krakens been kinda sad ngnl hopefully they will improve in years to come.
I imagine they should 👍! Defensively they’ve been really solid, it’s their goaltending that’s just been atrocious. Hopefully they can make a big splash in free agency.
Looks pretty good for you, the two Cups are nice and they’re still pretty competitive. I think they’re still capable of winning another title or two with Vasilevskiy in his prime, so maybe the good times will keep on coming for you 👍!
One of the most eye-opening things that made me understand the length of Toronto’s drought actually came from my family. My oldest uncle was born in 1968, about a year after the Leafs’ Cup win. He’s talking about how he’s got less than 10 years to go before he retires 😅. When he said that I was stunned.
Okay huge football fan and liked basketball but it's getting really soft and political and just not what it was. I watched and listened to the whole playoffs this year and it was awesome! Still don't know who to root for though. I live in the Rocky Mountain area but don't like Denver/Colorado teams, prefer a team not with a ton of winning history but more a super passionate fan base that's supportive and sells out frequently. As you can see my logo is the Big 12 conference for football because they're super passionate and underrated and I love it. I don't really like rooting for huge market teams but my favorite series to listen to was the Penguins Rangers first round one. Any suggestions or ideas? Also don't like Vegas at all so 😂 no LA no Anaheim don't like Arizona, big markets and Florida teams are a no too
There’s a lot of teams you could go with. I’d probably suggest going with an older team, or bigger hockey market since the fans tend to be more supportive. Canadian teams usually hold that standard, but there’s a lot of great American markets that hold true to this too.
I think it’s a little different in recent years with people being able to see more than just their local team on a regular basis. Plus a lot of kids now like multiple players and want their jerseys. I know Europe’s a little different compared to here because of relegation and things like that. Either way as long as someone’s supporting the NHL I’m happy.
be the goon and pick your familys rival team
That’s always fun too 😂.
