    New York Rangers!!

    - Awesome goaltender, Henrik Lundqvist Backup Goalie is Martin Biron (watch the games and youll see how much fun he has on the bench, pumps the team up often)

    -Has the most hated player in the league (Sean Avery) - the dude is awesome, pretty much an amazing enforcer, search him up, he can make huge plays when needed, theres also some rules made because of this guy (in NHL 11, youll win most fights with him)

    - Amazing group of young guns

    Derek Stepan (rookie of the year candidate) had a hattrick(3 goals) in his first nhl game

    Mark Staal -Amazing defender who comes up big time when needed

    Micheal Sauer- Good D man

    Micheal Del Zotto- Good D man

    One of the best Right wings in the league when healthy - Marian Gaborik

    Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky lead the team at the moment in points - Awesomee Young kids who will grow up to be A+ players

    An overrated captain (lol)

    Amazing fanbase, team is coached by a mysterious dude, funny guy i guess.

    A young team would actually be my favorite team, the Colorado Avalanche. You got Adam Foote, Milan Hejduk and John-Michael Liles as the top veterans, but most of the team is comprised of younger players that'll hit RFA in a few years. Matt Duchene is easily our top upcoming player, followed by Chris Stewart (he's had a few more years than Matt, but is still under 30).

    How cool the jerseys are is up to you, I guess.

    And on the video games I have, the Avs suck for some reason. I don't have NHL 11 but from what I know, most of our guys are in the mid 70's to low 80's, Hejduk, Stewart, and Craig Anderson being the exceptions.

    How about Minnesota Wild? It has cool jerseys. (in my opinion of course)The team's has many good players like Mikko Koivu, Matt Cullen, Martin Havlat, Brent Burns for example. And this year Wild drafted

    young star from Finnish hockey league, Mikael Granlund on the first round. The team has also solid goaltending and the fans are really into hockey in Minnesota.

    Hope this helped!

    Definitely the LA Kings, we got over 100 points last year, we are the second or third youngest team in the league, have food jerseys, and we are constanly underrated because we are from California and many expect us to go far into the playoffs

    Source(s): Kings fan... I know

    lol, I'm a Penguins fan but I'd have to say the L.A. Kings. Johnathan Quick, Anze Kopitar and they're a good team.
