Best NHL Rivalry

Recommended Posts

Most of the long-time rivalries (Mtl-Bos, Edm-Cal, Tor-Det, NYR-NYI) are one-sided affairs now, so the rivalries just don't spark the interest they used to.

IMO, the best current NHL rivalry is easily the battle of Pennsylvania. Van-Chi is a good recent rivalry, as is LA-SJ...

definitely boston-montreal.

i'm surprised more people haven't said Rangers-Islanders. that is by far one of the biggest rivalries. it always results in many fights (many fights in the stands too). people in new york don't really care that much about the devils, but rangers fans HATE the islanders and islanders fans hate the rangers even more.

in fact, at every rangers game, no matter who's playing, the crowd will chant "potvin sucks!". they've been doing it since 1979.

i know some of you are going to say that it's not as compelling a skill match-up as some of the other rivalries, but the islanders always seem to stay in the game and it's actually some decent hockey, and the crowd is wild.
