nux_win Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 ANYBODY that gets in between us and the cup. Local rivalries? Meh. We have to set our sights beyond that, to the promised land. And to get there we have to get up for every single opponent and take them all down one at a time. GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Once again, it will be the Toronto sports media who are our biggest rivals. What's more is that we'll never be able to win that matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just their team but also their management and handling of their assets which has vacuumed lottery picks from other teams for almost a decade now because they have no idea how to build a team through a balanced roster. Then Puljujarvi falls on their lap this year, makes me sick. Chiarreli's face when CBJ picked Dubois makes me violent. Something about McDavid bugs me also and it's not just his jersey. Plus our hometown BC boys like Lucic and Schultz pick them because they get suckered into phone calls from Gretzky and the hope of playing with McMiserable. The way Lucic gushed about playing with a 19 year old kid, was embarrassing. Bugs me that McDavid has played half a season and grown men act like little girls from the 60's front row at a Beatles concert. If Boston was playing Edmonton in the SCF, go Bruins. I have way way more respect for Calgary than I do for the Oilers. This right here lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can really only think of two teams that actively hate HATE each other and it's unanimous throughout the entire fanbase. Montreal and Boston lol. I know some would say Montreal and Leafs but I think that's more of a one way hate now because I doubt the Habs fans consider the Leafs a threat anymore.

Fr the Leafs its more the Sens although I do prefer the Ottawa Montreal games. That is true hate. Not as bad as the old Habs Bruins hate but getting there.

I can't think of another pair of teams where that type of rivalry and hate exists. I hope the Canucks can close to that type of rivalry with another team in the next 10 years or something...that means we likely would've won a cup by then because that's where the real hate and rivalries are born.

hlinkas wrister Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 On-ice rivalries are dynamic and outside of a few original six match-ups rarely stand the test of time. A great example is Calgary-Edmonton. The "battle of Alberta" has been a snooze-fest for the better part of the last decade. Pretty hard for the intensity to rise to "rivalry level" when your team isn't competing for anything meaningful. The Canucks have had a few through the years, and they are almost always as a result of playoff encounters- which leads me to believe that we may be a few years away from experiencing another one. Unless of course you are referring to fan rivalries, in which case I would say we have a pretty good rivalry with loser flames fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
