Dynasties are great for the team and fans that make up the dynasty, not so great for the rest of the league’s teams.

That’s because the NHL is the Best League playing the most exciting game in the world!

The fact that you need a complete team effort for those 16 wins is a big factor too. With the exception of the proverbial hot playoff goalie you can’t rely a couple players to carry your team like you can in baseball or basketball. Even with a hot goalie you still need solid team play to have real success. The NHL playoffs is the best, specifically the first round. Nothing beats 3 or 4 games of playoff hockey a night

The Stanley Cup coming to Alberta for 6 out of 7 years is so crazy.

Calgary sucks.

The cap has really helped usher in parity and when you see teams like the Blackhawks have to trade off several people after winning the Cup, it demonstrates how hard it is to achieve dynasty status in this new era. Although the Red Wings seem to be the exception to the rule.

This isn’t surprising. The fact that you need 16 wins to be declared Champs in the NHL is a factor in this. Not to mention the grueling affect it has on the body, both physically and mentally. I think the NHL playoffs is the best to watch. Of course that’s with complete bias haha.
