New fan to hockey. Any essential hockey lore to catch up on?
Hey there, me and my girlfriend have been getting into the NHL recently and wanted to read up on some of the essential hockey 'lore', if you will!
Since we're based in the UK we picked a team that we have a good connection with and that ended up being Vegas as we've been a few times and love it. We started supporting pre Stanley Cup, so pretty good timing! 😂
If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be amazing!
Edit: We watched the Quest For The Stanley Cup series too, which was amazing! Really enjoyed that.

Watch "The boys on the bus". It's about the extremely stacked and crazy good Edmonton Oilers of the 1980's. It also features the greatest hockey player of all time during his prime. Another good one to watch is "Mr. Hockey: a Gordie Howe Story". As well even though it isn't NHL (the Canadian players were all NHL players which was unheard of at the time for international competitions) the 1972 summit series Canada vs. the Soviets is also good.
Amazing, thanks for the suggestions! I imagine this GOAT is Wayne Gretzky? I've yet to see him play tbf, so that's a great shout!
