Mannerisms of the Original 6 NHL Teams

 I feel that each of the Original 6 NHL Teams have their Own Mannerisms and they are On Full Display in Living Color, sadly. And, I would start Geographically from West to East for my Post.

Chicago Blackhawks- I feel the biggest mannerism of a Successful Chicago Blackhawks is Draft Players that would wear the Sweater in 2 Years or they are not worth drafting. That doesn't excuse some of their Worse Habits to Catch and Release, which has existed since Bobby Hull's Contentious Exit from Chicago since the Early 1970's.

Another Uniqueness of the Chicago Stadium Years that has not survived to the United Center Era is Period Specific Stanley Cup Banners and back to the other things, they'd have Plenty of Fans, but, not plenty of development responsibly or Public Relation Mindfulness.

Detroit Red Wings- Hockeytown generally goes through a Myriad of Great Years and a Myriad of Lean Years. They have not had a Playoff Series in the Baddest Bowl in Hockey and the shock of the Pistons being a Wayne County Resident again as opposed to an Oakland County Resident is shocking to some Detroit Sports Fans.

Toronto Maple Leafs- The Maple Leafs Symbol of Success is the Natural Maple Leaf and that has only worsened their Hex. And this is the Most Hexed of the Original 6 with Missing Planes, Missing Heroes, An All Around Angry Man in a Period of All Around Angry Men, Playoff Hexes, Being Exploited By Pop Culture and they'd generally like to be a Home Province Roster, and instead, they'd double down on Unnecessary Trades and Hold the Line Too Long on Actual Trades.

Montreal Canadiens- The Canadiens are the One Team Pushed by Ghosts, and their Trade Mannerisms are Different from the Other Original 6 in the fact they either Trade Out (Chelios, Roy, Subban) or Trade For (Lafleur) and they'd go for their Silver Stanley Cup This Summer.

Boston Bruins- If it wasn't for 2011, the Boston Bruins would be getting closer to 50 in their Stanley Cup Hex. Being above Bourque was more of a Cultural Footnote and I'd think that they are due for a Firesale later on.

New York Rangers- The Blueshirts Have Not Had a Proper Stanley Cup Raising Opening Night Unaltered Since Before World War II. The Blueshirts are always a Dogged and Aggressive Unit and one of the Worse Habits that the Hockey Rangers have is chasing Bloated Contracts when they have no Business doing so.
