Borrowing from Zach Lowe's fun 'NBA League Pass Rankings' idea, we've gone ahead and put together a list of our own for the NHL. While I think it's fair to say that our process was far less scientific, the premise remains the same.

If you're sitting down on a random Thursday night and there's a ton of hockey on to choose from, which teams are you prioritizing seeing (all other things being equal, and rooting allegiances aside)? Talent is obviously king, but style and likelihood of engaging in a back-and-forth, fast-paced affair is just as important. Remember: sometimes being a very successful hockey team in terms of wins and losses and your place in these rankings can be inversely related.

We count them down from 30-1.
