Closest thing we have would be
. Former SE Division foe, lot of close games, geographically the closest team to Raleigh (even when Atlanta had the Thrashers). Finally met them in the playoffs for the first time last season and it was an intense 7 game battle.
Also have had 'rivalries' with Boston, Buffalo, Montreal, and New Jersey due to playoff meetings in the 00's and some regular season games then and in the 10's that featured ass-kickings and fights.
The Panthers used to accuse us of being 'divers' 10-15 years ago. Ed Belfour went on a rant about it after a game, Erik Cole or someone on the Canes responded by saying he (Belfour) was just trying to shift blame off himself.
