Which NHL fan bases have it the worst right now? It's a question that the Sports Misery Index tackled, and after we did an article on the top 25 in all sports (http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24367000/the-top-25-most-miserable-fan-bases-professional-sports), it's time to delve deeper into which NHL fans feel good about life and which are, quite frankly, miserable.
The Index takes into account five factors: championships, playoff berths, playoff wins, heartbreaks and rival comparison, with recent events being weighted more than events that took place decades ago. We'll identify how each NHL team rates in each category. In this exercise, the higher the ranking, the more the misery.
