I don't know how much you do or don't know, so here's the basics.  I apologize if you know these things already.

First, the big thing to look for is manufacturer.  If it's not a Koho, CCM, or Rbk/Reebok, it's a fake. (Mitchell & Ness make throwback replicas and Starter made some quality replicas some years ago, but that's about it.)

Second, the words "glued" or "sewn" are a big sign that it's not authentic.

Also, check the "ships from" point in the listing.  Alot of the fake jerseys are produced overseas, particularly Asia.  I'm not saying that all of the jerseys from Asia are fakes, but you have a much better chance of getting a legit jersey if you stay with U.S. and Canadian sellers.  

Finally, take a good look at the pictures.  Alot of times, the logo is smaller/bigger or the style of the numbers just looks off.  If you're not confident in your ability to detect differences, go to NHL.com and study the pictures of their jerseys.  Once you know what to look for, most of the fakes become obvious.
