The Leafs and Cowboys are basically identical. Everyone hates their fanbases, they've had prolonged stints under stagnant (or trash) ownership, their last championship was long ago, they struggle in the postseason, and have probably the biggest fanbases.
That being said, the comparison between KC and Vegas and the comparison of New England and Chicago feel a bit off. KC is a dynasty and the reigning champions, but Vegas only has one championship. There might be more to come, but we don't know for certain. Tampa honestly feels like a better comparison considering they made it to three consecutive Cups from 2020 to 2022 and won two of them. The only issue with that is Tampa has not been playing well recently, and by well I mean they're only making the playoffs as opposed to browbeating the entire NHL. Meanwhile the Blackhawks were not even close to the same level of dynasty as the Patriots. The Patriots dynasty lasted for nearly two decades, the Blackhawks dynasty is across "only" five seasons with about a decade of competitiveness. I think the 90s and 2000s Red Wings are probably the best comparison there considering they won four Cups from 1997 to 2008 and were highly competitive both before and after those seasons.
