Apples Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Blackhawks and Bruins would be the top 2 rivalries. LA could be 3rd, but I don't really feel the tension with Nucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavo Fring Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Boston. Hands down. Past few Chi games have been underwhelming in terms of rival bitterness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucksfan#2 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I don't think we have or will play Boston enough to consider them rival although they did take the cup from us, on our home ice. Right now I'd say Chicago, but LA is up there as well especially if we meet them again this coming playoffs. From a historical point of view, it definitely should be Calgary, although they've got a looooooong way to go before becoming our rival again.

canuckelhead70 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 frack boston, i just went to a habs game last week vs boston and there was a huge fight outside the bell center, thank god it ended with the bruin fan on the floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six-0h-four- Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 San Jose is a much bigger rival than most people (don't) give them credit for. A lot of memorable regular season games have come from the Sharks as the opposition for the Canucks over the years, and they hate us for putting them out of the playoffs.

kylecanuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If we are seeing the only teams that have been able to beat us in the last 5/6 years as our rivals, then wouldn't the whole west see us as their rivals? I see the kings, Blackhawks, and bruins are front runners. Is it just because those are the last few teams to bump us from the playoffs? I dont see the bruins as rivals very much, do I hate them? Well yes, but it's much to fresh to be considered a rivalry. LA fits into this categorie as well for me. Chicago has given us fits and frights, making our blood run hot, and our tempers near explode. This has been the case for a number of years, and with no end in sight. Chicago would be our rivals, too bad they are switching divisions:( I see in the next five years, one of; Minnesota, LA, Edmonton being our biggest rivals.

Drouin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm not sure, but I thought it was pretty obvious, the Blackhawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 By the time Calgary is good again we'll have probably tanked, gotten really good, and then tanked again. At that point the Canucks and Flames will be in a role reversal and there still wont be a good rivalry. Hopefully we'll be tied or leading in Stanley Cups by then though.

c00kies Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I don't consider the Kings a rival. I just hate how they had an easier path than usual last year. We were crap and pretty much beat ourselves in that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBaby Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 hmmmm I dunno, maybe the team we lost to in the finals of the Stanley Cup? That's probably a good start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordiques_fan Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 By the last couple games against them coyotes seem to hate us , burrows mostly but hawks for sure number one maybe Boston more when we play them twice a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNACanuck Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Chicago or Boston. Please fellas/gals don't say the queens are up there in rivalries. That would give the Kings fans too much gratification. Talking to them you'd think we were their biggest rivals ever! Very irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
