Which NHL cities have you visited, and what were your impressions?

Been to 23/31 NHL cities/areas. Far too many to list. In summary:

Philadelphia is underrated as fuck, for whatever reason. It's got tons of history, gorgeous parks, and great food. Their fans are everywhere. Impressive for a city that barely wins.

Boston is the definition of average. Not that impressed. Average food. Average nightlife. Awful weather. Uptight city vibe.

Chicago is one of the best. The media is fixated on an imaginary high crime rate in isolated parts of the city (the crime rate is middle of the pack amongst US cities)

Los Angeles is lots of driving which can suck if you don't know where to go. If you do know where to go, amazing city. Amazing weather. Tons of shit to do.

Nashville has great energy to it. Great bar town and the people are nice as fuck.

I'm from Upstate NY, so doing New York is dumb, but it's the best city in the world. There is a reason it's overpriced and crowded. It has everything.

Seattle is a gorgeous city that deserves a team and hopefully gets one.

I've been to a bunch of other cities I don't feel like summarizing.
