falcon45ca Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Chicago for sure, you can't ignore 3 recent playoff matchups in which Chicago leads 2-1, plus the regular season games & the concussion served to Daniel. We don't play Boston enough for it to be a real rivalry...look at it this way, does anyone consider the Islanders or Rangers rivals? Respect for the Calgary rivalry as well, there's so much history between the two teams. I just wish it wasn't as one sided as it's been lately, though Calgary did get robbed in the last two games.

Alex Burrows 14 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I dont know why everyone hates la? They played better then us, beat us cleanly and won the series. So do we have to hate everyone who played better then us? And id say boston and chicago no doubt. Boston games are super exciting and intense and will be fr a while. And chicago games are always interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfreako Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Boston! I HATE them so much for chanting "Flopper!" when Raymond got injured in the Finals. That's gotta be one of the worst things I've seen/heard at a pro sporting event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Poor, poor logic. What you forgot to take into account was the most important thing in existence which is "time". The Boston loss was only 2 years ago whereas the Rangers were 19 years ago-----------> It loses relevancy. The United States never engaged in a real physical war with Russia, but that was a "cold war" because it was a technological arms race--"let the best man win".Although they really didn't physically go head-to-head, It occurred in two separate continents and is one of the most documented and well-known "rivalries" of all-time. Frequency will never determine a rivalry as much as "relevant history" and the strive for "dominance" will. Knocked out of the playoffs first round (kings)+deep playoff history (hawks)>>>>>>> getting our food stolen right off the plate in game 7, exposing an incredible amount of holes in our team, making us completely restructure, and completely depleting our confidence as a dominant NHL team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I actually hate the Rangers almost as much as Boston. That would have been a fantastic way for the Canucks to get their first cup. Rivalries are created in the playoffs so Chicago has got to be #1. No hard feelings toward LA. They played hard and fair and won because they deserved to.

kassians_fist Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 1) Blackhawks 2) Bruins 3) Sharks 4) Kings 5) Flames I don't hate the Kings, I think we have a healthy rivalry with them. I loathe the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucks all the way Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 How is this even a contest? Chicago will be our biggest rival for the forseeable future, especially if we get a few more series with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuongo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hawks then Boston... Other then that wouldn't say the kings are our rivals... Will they are slowly becoming it but its not a long deep rivalry. Wouldn't say the wild either.... They use to suck n now there good for what 3 months and we say they are rivals? Na.

wai_lai416 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 rival? the only team that's truly a rival is the blackhawks.. considering we played them 3 playoff series in 3 consecutive years.. other teams.. we may view them as a rival.. but they sure don't view us as a rival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Wrister73 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Chicago for sure. We've had wars with Chicago over the last three years. And this year they are taking our President's trophy too. But we can beat em in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
