5. Washington Wizards.....hint...is not Baltimore where they played as the Bullets (Washington is 3rd city for this franchise)
6. New Jersey Devils....hint...is not Colorado where they played as the Rockies (NJ is third "city" for this franchise)

You are both right, the AHL Barons were a North Stars farm team.
The NHL Barons were folded/merged into the North Stars.
As the Barons were my NHL team, I then became a North Stars fan, but when they moved to Dallas I dropped them as my favorite team. Fuck Dallas.
Still don't have a favorite NHL team, I keep an eye on the Sabres and the Lightning.
But favorite hockey team is the Florida Everblades of the ECHL.
And the Everbabes ... they love me.

Still got 4 teams to go.
That Devils franchise may be the original California Golden Seals franchise.
St. Louis Browns ... I don't know where they came from ... Boston?
Wizards/Bullets ... maybe they came form Rochester or Syracuse or something,
Hawks ... same answer.

None of these are even close, really. I will just finish it off as those are near impossible answers.

You are both right, the AHL Barons were a North Stars farm team.
The NHL Barons were folded/merged into the North Stars.
As the Barons were my NHL team, I then became a North Stars fan, but when they moved to Dallas I dropped them as my favorite team. Fuck Dallas.
Still don't have a favorite NHL team, I keep an eye on the Sabres and the Lightning.
But favorite hockey team is the Florida Everblades of the ECHL.
And the Everbabes ... they love me.
Thrashers... that was it. And I did forget the "period" in #25...

Of all the sports I have always seen the best looking women in the greatest numbers at hockey games... even in the bowels of the old Cleveland Arena. Last live game I attended was in San Diego for their Seagulls in the late 90's... was still true.
Still got 4 teams to go.
Whatever the remaining tally the compliment was intended for your effort...
