I'd be glad to help. What type of team are you looking for?

I want a team that...

1. Isn't Canadian.
2. Preferably not too far north. Southern would be best, but I can follow West Coast teams.
3. Has some good Americans I can latch onto.
4. I could watch on a decent basis. Not every game, but someone NBCSN would show a few times.
5. Fun to watch. Can score goals. Offense over defense, ultimately, but a balanced team would be fine.

I have a Flyers jersey (got it at a thrift store...Mike Richards, doesn't even play there anymore), but I don't want to follow them. If I like this team enough, I might buy one of their jerseys. You know how I am about soccer jerseys...

Give me some options!

Tampa Bay Lightning might be a good one for you. Decent amount of Americans, but none that are stars. Have some great offensive players in Stamkos, St. Louis, and Lecavalier. St. Louis is a fun player to watch, but he's close to retirement. Red Wing legend Steve Yzerman is in his second or third year as GM. Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup right before the last lockout, but had a disappointing year last year.

I'll keep looking at some other teams.

The Washington Capitals are definitely an offensive minded team. You will see them on tv a lot, but they don't have many Americans. If you're into the historical factor, look at the Rangers, Blackhawks, Bruins, and Red Wings. They are the 4 American teams from the original 6. Columbus is somewhat a "southern" team, but they are a mess. I can't tell if the Florida Panthers are on an upswing or not. They did make the playoffs last year.

Check out the St. Louis Blues. Have some really good Americans in Backes and Langenbrunner. Halak, their goalie, played great last year. They should be on tv a decent amount.
