The Resume

Why they might be annoying:

    The team is owned by James Dolan and Cablevision.
    They missed the playoffs more than any team in NHL history.
    Their fans continue to obsess over a rival player (Denis Potvin) that played his last NHL game almost twenty years ago.
    They were instrumental in the termination of their rival New York American's hockey franchise.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They play in Manhattan.
    They get plenty of media coverage.
    They won the Stanley Cup in 1994.
    They have many name-recognizable superstar players.
