1. Sports In A Can

   It is a decent forum. As of now it does not have too much traffic but it could have potential. It also doesn't have specific team forums. However maybe one day it can become a great forum.

2. Post Game Pub

   It is a pretty good forum. It has a nice feel to it with a good layout. It has a decent sized community. Two problems I see are that there really isn't too much of a forum for NHL fans. The other problem is that I like it when it has a specific forum for each team. However in this forum it has forums for each division, like the AL east, or NL west.

3. Total Sports Nation

   This is a very nice forum. It has a fantastic layout and a good feel. One complaint is the same as above how it does not have a specific forum for each team. It has pretty good traffic as of now, however it seems to be a growing forum.

4. Addict Sports

   Another very nice forum. It has a nice layout that can be good if you get a feel for it. It has some different boards for specific sports which can be a good thing to some people. It seems to have a pretty high amount of users as well.

5. Go Teams Go

   It seems to be a simple forum, however it is a very good forum. It has specific forums for specific teams. It also has a good community full of pretty knowledgeable posters. It may have a pretty bland layout but I think it may suit the kind of forum it is.
