The most embarrassing NHL team. Many of their fans also root for the Yankees, so naturally they have the same elitist attitude, despite having a quarter of their success. Seriously. They've been around for nearly 100 years, and have only won
4 Stanley Cups, and only one of those has come since World
War II. They play in the soulless void known as Madison
Square Garden, which is filled almost entirely by corporate suits and celebrities, because tickets are too expensive for regular people to afford. Yet, because they play in Manhattan, they are the NHL'
s darlings, getting an absurd amount of national TV broadcasts, and being gifted the easiest rebuild in NHL
history. Their Stanley Cup win in 1994 is constantly replayed as if it's the greatest moment in NHL history, and Mark Messier is treated as if he's on the same level as Gretzky. The only one of
New York's "older brother" teams that has been less successful than their local rivals.
