I'm cheering for my Red Wings mainly but my 2nd team which I'm going to cheer for this year is the Rangers. Nick can you make a weekly video on major games to watch out for each week?
Waiting for Liiga goal horns ranking day 14
New York rangers
@@lanea8764 Lets go Rangers! Born and Raised!
Always the Wild 🏕️
I'm a Browns fan getting into hockey because of advice from Pat McAfee. I'm choosing the ducks as my team. I'm used to disappointment so I should well prepared.
As a Clevelander myself, the teams I am supporting aren’t remotely close to where I am, nor do they make sense for my location 😅 besides the blue jackets i guess
You can come suffer with CBJ fans In Columbus lol (Go bengals)
As a Ranger fan, we (and the Leafs fans) are the living embodiment of the Michael Scott "I'm ready to get hurt again" meme.
Proceed with caution.
Oh no! I just started watching hockey with the playoffs last year and I found myself falling in love with the Rangers and especially Shesterkin. (I also live upstate.) I just bought a jersey for the new season. Damn. Is this gonna be my life now? Lol
hope you guys are feeling a bit better so far!
@@oatmealtruck7811my father made sure that I was born into the pain of being a Rangers, Jets, Mets and Knicks fan.
He was born in 1938 and had me late in his life. I was 8 years old in ‘94 when The Rangers won the cup. He’d been waiting almost his whole life to see it (they won in 1940, but that’s almost like my Mets winning when I was a few months old)
I’ll never forget that moment. He’s gone now so I can’t speak for him, but I feel like he’d tell you that the wait made it that much sweeter.
At least you picked a good time to get on the train. We have a really good team
@@zacmedress7263 that’s a really wonderful story about your dad. May he rest in peace, friend.
5 month update, btw: I’m DEEP in this. It’s unreal. I couldn’t calm down if I wanted to. Thought I loved football (still do), but MAN OH MAN NOW I’M A HOCKEY FAN. I’m in for life now. LGR.
If you know football, as a Cowboys fan who has already be disapointed and discovered the Leafs playoff history, I ain't going for them

the other video was the vid i found your channel through, so this is cool to see
I started watching the NHL during the last playoffs, really liked the Kraken and the Devils. However I don´t wanna be a bandwagon fan, so I´ll be looking forward for those teams, while watching some other games to truly find my team. Also, as I´m very impressed by the Maple Leaf´s and Canucks´ season openers, same with Bedard first two games, so idk, maybe I´ll look after them too
My teams:
1) Avs - I lived in CO for 10 years (Miss you Cody McLeod)
2) Ducks - I live in Tulsa now and their ECHL team (the Oilers) affiliates up to the Ducks
3) Kraken - Who doesn't love t hose jerseys??
I’ve been watching for 30 years, watched the leafs because my family always did. I’ve never had my own team so I’m trying to find that this season!
Choose the habs to annoy them, that’s what my dad did with football and baseball
As a new hockey fan I could have chosen anybody to be my team but I decided I must stay with what’s closest and since I am and die hard 49ers, Warriors, and Giants fan, I must ride out the rough times with the sharks 😂 still loving hockey nonetheless and I’ve already seen that this sport clearly has the best playoffs of any sport. The physicality and passion on the ice is also another factor that has me hooked on hockey as well
Times aren't easy for Team Teal, but if you can stomach the dark days, then it'll make the good ones all that sweeter.
@@TwistedWristerHockey oh I sat through the 2014-2019 49ers and man those were some rough days so I think I’m gonna stick around lol, not like the giants and warriors are doing too much better right now anyways 🤷♂️
@@key-nj3vi So true. This last decade for the Giants has been awful. At least while they struggled in the 2000s, they had Bonds at the plate and Timmy & Posey in the farm system.
New fans would find The Seattle Kraken a fun team to support. 4 lines of chemistry and deep scoring. No true superstars, but Matty Beniers and Jarrod McCann could be those players. Goaltending may be an issue but Grubauer and Daccord may surprise the league. Fun games to watch and a competative division will make for late season drama.
Ahem
@@Cilvathorne Um...
being from Florida, hockey was never on my radar growing up. I recently started following hockey out of curiosity and have found the sport fascinating to watch. The Lightning are my team since I’m from the Tampa area.
My favorite teams are the Flyers (been watching them since the early 90s, always fun to watch, even when they suck).
My second team is the Nashville Predators, they're a very up and down team but they are always a contender in their division and they've been fun to watch build throughout the years especially because I've been able to watch them from day 1 of them being an NHL team.
And lastly, Anaheim, largely in honor of my late best friend who absolutely loved the Ducks back in their Mighty Ducks era.
Honestly, there is no wrong team to cheer for in the NHL, hockey is a fantastic sport and more people should be watching it!!!
Regardless of who everyone else around me is a fan of, I chose the Blackhawks. And now I'm a diehard fan. I went my own way and love it!
Highs and lows, no matter what!😎
Thanks for the shout out. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
You should personally cheer for the Boston Bruins, this year they broke a record, made it to the playoffs. And played great, with 6 Stanley Cup wins. Boston plays great every year. And I’m from Springfield, MA, that’s why you should root for the Bruins!
Not a natural Cbus fan myself, but if you're new and want a team thats going to be getting better as you watch them, they're the perfect team they already have a decent defense, a couple older wingers who are pretty good, but they also have 3 VERY good defensemen coming up, one of the best centermen coming up, and some other very good young peices that will help them contend for years as long as they stay the course.
I've been a casual AT BEST Sharks fan for a while but it's hard to fully get into it because their games are on at 1030 EST. I want an east coast team that's obviously not great right now because I'm not tryna be one of those bandwagon fans. I want to actually become a diehard hockey fan
@DaSpurTitan won't be a bandwagon fan following Columbus, as of right now they're probably the least cared about team in the east right now. And I see people constantly underrate them because they had a bad year last year. I still don't expect them to make the playoffs this year but I think they're better than people expect. And they have a very bright future, especially on defense.
Love your content! How are you able to post actual NHL footage?
Thank you! As long as I use segments that are 11 seconds or less, then I am not violating the league's terms; I guess it is then "fair use." At least, that is my experience here on CZcams :)
I just started watching this season so i am not sure who to go for but i am having fun right now. Its fun watching the games
im an avs/bruins fan. my brother got me into hockey when i was a kid we'd always watch the avs so i still always cheer them on. im irish however so i cant ever say anything bad about the bruins. just a shame that their games are always scheduled at the same exact time lol. but lately i also been watching blackhawks, because im very impressed by connor bedard and want to see where his career goes.
just watched my first nhl game
Krakens vs La Kings and its always good to have your team win the game when its your first time watching lol.
As a Latvian guy, I always root for NHL teams where Latvians are playing. So Go Canucks, Go Panthers, and Go Sabres!
From what I've seen, you Latvians have plenty of passionate fans! You know who was one tough Latvian? Raitis Ivanāns.
@@TwistedWristerHockey yup, Latvia is one of three countries in the world (along with Canada and Finland) where Hockey is the most popular/watched sport. We also got a medal in this years IIHF championship for the first time in history. And yeah, Raitis was a great player 💪
As a San Jose fan, I'm quite hyped actually. Yes this year we will most likely funny bottom 5, but I am optimistic that we've seen the worst so far despite everyone thinking it will be worse. Also the prospect pool is actually underrated, and depending how development goes, I can see a world where in 3 years we could start challenging for a playoff spot again maybe.
But regardless, I'm hyped for this year as we have a lot of new faces, several players that are trying to get a fresh start in a new organization and who knows what they could bring, and what Grier will cook for us this year!
I wouldn't be surprised if they regressed a little more this season, but I see what you mean regarding the worst being over. The organization has learned from its past and is willing to rip off the band aid to build a stable future. I look at '25-26 and by then, we could have Will Smith and Musty playing, we could have had another top-3 pick, hopefully Eklund budding into a young star. We still need another franchise cornerstone on defense and a legit goaltender (like the Red Wings have with Cossa and the Wild with Wallstedt), but I understand these things take time. Go Sharks Go!
@@TwistedWristerHockey we will rely a lot less on our past 2 stars (Meier and Karlsson) which mean that yes our celling is less high, but I think overall the team is more well rounded with depth, both aging and younger. And we don't know what Blackwood will bring in term of goaltending. I think the team will play also a lot more defensively.. especially with that D core that we have. And in all of that, you have a lot of the players that want to prove themselves and want to bounce back which means motivation will be probably high. I can see us getting maybe 25/26 wins. Hopefully not too much if we want Celebrini or Eiserman or a top D-man
@@metsuniehow are those 25 wins going for you?
Im a fan of the ducks and sabres i know I gonna join you in the basement of torment that is the standings
@@Mega-rw8mt we dont talk about those LOL Altho to my defence, without Couture and Barabanov it's really hard to achieve anything
Also the Ducks are a legit team this year, I wouldnt doubt them personally. It wouldnt surprise me if they at least finish about Seattle and Calgary.. Edmonton has to pick it up at some points
Although not in the NHL. The Portland Winterhawks are my favorite team. I've been a fan since I was 9 years old, and they introduced me to the sport. Which is ironically why I find it hard to settle on an NHL team. I mean, I did root for Chicago when I was a kid too, and LA recently. But nothing seems to stick. Maybe one day I'll find my pro team.
That is amazing! Always love to hear people love their local AHL team if they have them.
@@DerelictNacho whl.
This is great!! I am in the process of trying to choose my team! But I do live in England 🏴
I haven’t watched NHL in years. Also I currently don’t have a favorite team. I want to get back into NHL but, I am not sure what team to have as my favorite. I won’t pay for NHL channel , network, or any games that I need to pay to watch. So what team should I be a fan of that has a lot of games that get put on TV nationally, and are fun to watch ?
My top 5 teams to root for Golden knights hurricanes Predators jets Penguins
It's difficult but I'd prefer an eastern team as i am from UK because of the time zone.
Fortunately, each of the 16 Eastern Conference teams play in the eastern time zone. So you could chose anyone from the Red Wings, to the Panthers, to the Canadiens...now it's just a matter of what type of team you would enjoy supporting :)
@@TwistedWristerHockey Do you have any idea what teams usually play earlier than the rest in the east?
I'm from UK and have only preferred the Western Conference namely Colorado Avalanche, timezone is not even an issue, lifetime fan since 95 got 2 of the top 5 players in the NHL and are stacked AF, can't go wrong with the avs
@metalheadcol The avs have interested me but they just remind me of a football team I don't like so I'm put off.
I got into hockey around the same time the kraken came around so it’s easy to follow them, but I’m really rooting for the predators mainly for the heart and the idgaf let’s throw hands mentality they have
I’m new to hockey this year ,I watched kracken make a good playoff run but don’t wanna be a band wagon fan lol you convinced me to pick the sharks even tho dark days are ahead but future looks really bright. Plus there jerseys are teal that’s my favorite color and who doesn’t like an arena nicknamed the shark tank!
The three of us are all Metro Division rivals. Joe - Caps, Cory - Flyers, Justin - Devs
You convinced me to check out Montreal Canadiens
Debating Penguins or Oilers I NEED THE FEEDBACK OF THE PEOPLE
washington commanders/wizards fan, but i'm from indiana. thinking about choosing the capitals because of the whole washington thing, but love the avalanche and their branding. very conflicted. which one has a better future outlook?
avalanche have better future. Wizards have a very old core currently.
My Red Wings and Rangers are up there for teams to watch for. Can't wait to see what they do. And hopefully I dont need a second team to cheer for this year finally.
I like 14 teams 7 in east and 7 in west top 4 in east are Panthers, Bruins, Lightning, leafs. Bottom 3 in n east caps Carolina and devils. Top 4 in west Avalanche, Stars, Kings Vegas. Bottom 3 west Ducks, Blackhaws, Coyotes.
New NHL fan here, from France. And in my country ice hockey is not popular at all so I'm coming in pretty blind, I don't know the players, I don't know 95% of the "lore" of the NHL so here's that. However I've decided to get behind the Calgary Flames. Simply because I'm a pro wrestling fan and a few wrestlers that I admire come from Calgary.
You know what team go for twisted you're a beauty. Let's go blues!
I put all the teams into a bucket and blind picked one. Ended up being the Penguins
European fan here (I'm from Greece). What team should I support? Subbed!
Maybe you can root for the Blackhawks. This season they are retiring the number of Hall of Fame defenseman, Chris Chelios. He is American but has Greek heritage 🇬🇷 There is also a Greektown in Chicago. This is just the first team that I can think of; they won't be good for a couple of years, but they have a generational talent in Connor Bedard 😄
@@TwistedWristerHockey Thank you so much!! I had a really hard time choosing a team because I had no idea about the teams, but you instantly helped me! I feel relieved right now lol! Much love from Greece! 🇬🇷
@@TwistedWristerHockey I also checked the current roster of Chicago Blackhawks and saw a Greek player called Andreas Athanasiou! This is definitely my team!
@@dreamofyesterday ^ Let's Go Hawks! I'm happy to help :)
I'm also new to hockey and I am going with the Leafs, because of the tradition and I like their style of play
Just getting into hockey 2023 November. I live in Iowa so I watch iowa wild in Des Moines. So I've been watching Minnesota Wild, Colorado avalanche cuz I'm a denver broncos fan.
The Winter Classic is at T-mobile Park the baseball stadium
Oh crikey, you're right! 😅
Colorado, Detroit, Philly for this season
Wait - you guys got to pick the team you cheer for?
I love Vilardi! Every time he had the puck last year, I felt he might score. Just for blessed sake, stay healthy!
im a lifelong diehard avs fan but man i love the kraken lol
Let's go Bruins!!!
My second team is Winnipeg. Connor Hellebuyck went to the same college as me. The guy is a UMass Lowell legend.
Ducks 🦆🦆🦆I was their fan since I was 7 because they had sick logo. So I Ioved Teemu and Paul in that time. They don't have sick logo rn, it looks like flying shit. Their last seasons were terrible, but I see we have a great future ahead. Leo, Trevor, Mason, Pavel or Lukas Dostal... I love watching those young players. We just need to develop them carefuly. I also really like signing of Radko Gudas, he's the defender we needed last years. Though guy with great body usage. Love it.
Thanks for featuring me nick
Thank you for being a voice for the fans! 👏
My favorite team is the Minnesota wild at the start of the season they weren’t doing the best but now they are on fire
I’m rooting for the Kraken to get the big silver cup for Jordan Eberle. This is the year to get it done.🎉
i’m a die hard Raiders fan.. i feel like hockey has that culture naturally, but who most closely resembles that team identity in the NHL ? also i’m from Atlanta, isn’t there an expansion coming soon & are cities confirmed yet
my favorite uniforms are Sharks & Ducks throwback jerseys, Blackhawks have some nice jerseys too. Coyotes colorway is nice, but i don’t know anything about the organization, i wanna root for more than favorite jerseys
I have really enjoyed the hurricanes, they have a unique play style that doesn't count on individual players and they are not frequently talked about.
The only other team I pay attention to is the kraken.
Both teams I have lived close to.
I'm planning to go to PNC Arena for the first time in about six weeks - can't wait!
Can you maybe do a video on what nfl team you should root for
Oh man, I'm nowhere near as clued into today's NFL as I am the NHL 😅 And at this point, I'll probably tune out the NFL with my Vikings being 0-2 already lol.
Im an Australian and im so split between teams 😅
I completely forgot I wrote that lol!
As an az sports fan I hope we draft well.
My other team witch is my dads team is the kraken
It's a shame Carter Hart is done with the Flyers because of his lawsuit. He was a great guy
My three teams to watch are the same as last year:
1) Chicago Blackhawks - always rout for my hometown team and excited to see the rebuild
Minnesota Wild - MAF is my favorite player of all time and I enjoy the rest of the team
New Jersey Devils - They were the first team I saw play against the Blackhawks live in Chicago and just gravitated to them. They were so fun to watch last year too. I thought they would win the cup last year and I think they will win again.
Honorable mention: Seattle kraken. Love the city, love the logo, love the colors, love the stadium, and great fans.
That's cool that you have distinct reasons for each team. And how could anyone (except maybe Rangers fans lol) not want to check out the Devils again!
Red Wings, always!
LETS GO BRUINS
Can you have an eastern and western conference team?
Totally! I have my absolute favorite team that will never change, but I have two Eastern teams that I follow extensively. It's also fun to have a backup team if your main team is going through a lengthy playoff drought.
i’ll root for columbus being from ohio, but i like the oilers and redwings as of right now
I'm a saints fan in Football . My favorite hockey 🏒 team is Seattle Kraken .
Im a diehard rangers fan but I'd be lying if I said I didn't likw the blue jackets solely for the cannon
Go Stars.
Oilers fan since the early eighties and all through the decade of darkness. I bleed blue and orange and that will never change however I do cheer for other teams like Vancouver and Toronto. This year I am really excited for Ottawa, over the last couple seasons they have been my dark horse team in the East. Could this be the year they take that step, I am hoping so but they must get off to better starts. Excited for Ottawa and hoping the Canucks can push for a playoff spot. Really excited for the season to get going, I think the Atlantic is probably going to be the closest race overall. Go Oil!
I think Korpisalo is the x-factor for the Sens. If he performs similarly to last year, they could secure a wild card spot and perhaps better. Everything else is trending up for them!
Hi
Ciao
A team was easy choice cuz I’m from Tennessee, so Preds it is
NHL players are so cute 🥰 but I am a blackhawks fan so I'll choose Chicago Blackhawks.
I'm a sharks fan and I won't be watching them much this season. I will be watching Ottawa and Arizona this season the most .
I can't fault you for that, but I think they'll start to takes steps forward next year (even if it doesn't show in the standings). I'm curious to see if the Yotes can steal a playoff spot in a weakening division. Anyway, I'll link you to my Sharks season preview in case you wanna have a listen czcams.com/video/1YxAmMh6Bec/video.html
I was going to check that video out !
Yotes may squeak in. Such a fun team . I love watching plucky teams like them.
LGR! Blueshirts all the way!
Comment from the Islanders guy, Horvat ok I can see the justification of mentioning him, but why would u even mention first full year of Engvall lol.......ooh cant wait to see what a full year of Engvall will do for a team! Lol. No disrespects, just thought that comment was funny that's all lol anyhoo...cheers all!
Just watched avalanche im really liking them
ALL i know is Apparent to the games Oilers are doing something
I live in Indiana and I don't have an in state team. Who should I root for?
Also from Indiana, our family roots for the Redwings! Mostly because we have family in Michigan, but they're close enough that it*kinda*feels like our team too lmao
I've been a bruins fan since the 70's go B's
My favorite team is the Pittsburgh Penguins
my 3 teams in this order.. Knights, Aves, blackhawks. Always been a fan of each been a longer fan of the hawks cause they we my first hockey team I liked and the knights have not come to vegas yet. If i had a 4th it is the Jets. Did these comments come from your discord?
I hate the Knights.
3 months later…Jets….SURPRISE!
pens easily and great video nick
Congratulations Nick, your Sharks are ahead of Edmonton Oilers . Right now we’ve got 0 wins 2 losses
You're conceding 6 goals a game, too 😞 Will that continue in Nashville tomorrow night? I'll be live to call play-by-play for that, fyi.
Let’s Go Pens!!!!
Just to be sure, am I legally allowed to cheer for more than one team?
(giving you a Chuck Norris-sized thumbs up)
The one you live closest too, simple as that.
The one that I live closest to is Tampa by 749 miles lol. I don´t think I´ll be rooting for em
I support Sharks, they are the closest to me and there crest is awesome. Unlike the LA Kings
The Islanders, duh. What other team is there to cheer for??
GO CANES
This didn’t age well for the oilers
I've just gotten into hockey in the last week or so. I picked Seattle Kraken to be my team and I am so happy with my choice. I love the energy of the team.
Let's go Rangers!!!
19:16 Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha. Hahaha.
Whoever is closest to you lol
Rangers! NYR! 💙🤍❤️
Old People Rule! Let’s Go Pens!
Seattle Kraken
GO CANES!!!!!!
...
(whispers)
Win Burnzie a Cup!

WOW, congratulations! You must be absolutely fired up 🦑🎉🙌 Hopefully they've got some great perks and a tankful of awesome coworkers you'll enjoy getting to know :)
Yeah the jets are doing sooo bad this season
