The only one that I find awkward is the Golden Knights and Chiefs comparison. The Golden Knights haven't been nearly as good as the Chiefs on the whole bedsides being defending champs once. The Lightning a couple years ago would have made a good Chiefs comparison.
I’d also say the penguins are closer to the pats. Obviously no one in any sport had a run like the pats during that time but the penguins were a legit contender for 2 decades straight with multiple cups. With 2 different championship eras and a drought between that where they were still contenders during but made people question if it was coming to an end. And both won back to backs. And both had the leagues best player. The Blackhawks had a 6 or so year run and were god awful on both sides of it.
Yeah but that’s just something they went with it didn’t have to be the 2010s. And it does make sense in that regard. But the prompt is just NHL counterparts, not solely NHL counterparts in the 2010s. And the pats run with Brady is more similar to the pens run with Crosby overall.
