<p>It was a slow #News week because a map of the 50 states has been released detailing which NHL teams are the most popular in each state. The Avalanche is the most popular team in seven states, followed by the Bruins and Predators, who are the most popular teams in five states each. Go figure.</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - InsideTheBoards - 1/9/16 1:16pm<br><p>if you look at the demographic of course the Avs would have a larger following. There are not many NHL teams near them so states that lack a team will be more apt to follow the team that is closest.</p>
