I'm absolutely rooting for the Blues this postseason. I want something good for them to happen, and their team is ridiculously likeable. But I don't want you going in without reading all of the warnings. Here's a rough list of the most cursed franchises in the NHL:

Whalers*
Blues
Caps
Canucks
Sabres
Islanders (well, since Mike Bossy retired)
Maple Leafs
Sharks

*gone, but not forgotten

Things just happen to these teams. This is also a pretty rough list of some of my favorite NHL teams. I love the angry, doomed fanbases. Fandom is supposed to be hard.

The Jackets and Wild are on the cursed waiting list. Just too recent to be truly doomed.

This might be tough, or it could be fun, Idk...but can you compare the following teams to either an NFL or College football team? It would help me get a feel for the program overall. I know there won't be an apples to apples comparison but people put out those shitty lists like 'what simpsons character is your team' and other nonsense all the time.

Stars
Avalanche
Blues
Sharks
Predators

I think those are the main ones I'm looking at.
