6) 3 i can think of
Boston - Red Sox - Celtics - Bruins - Patriots
New York - Yankees - Knicks - Rangers - Jets
L.A - Dodgers/Angels - Lakers - Kings - Raiders (when in L.A)
Boston and New York are right (you can add Boston Braves, New York Jets/Mets/Islanders, Brooklyn Dodgers to that lsit...)
LA Kings have never won the Stanley Cup, so LA isn't right.
