What is the best hockey team ever in the US?

Answer 1

there is no true consensus on this point. Some people would say that either the Detroit Redwings or Colorado Avalanche of the late 90's early 2000's deserve that title. Others might consider the Philadelphia Flyers of the 70's or the NY Islanders of the early 80's to be the best teams. Still others would argue that the Boston Bruins during Bobby Orr's day to be the best team. If you look at all hockey teams from the US, one could even suggest that the 1980 American olympic team could be considered the best ever.
