Just want to see where most of the hate on this board is.
Those are not the same thing though. Tampa doesn't really have any rivals but if I had to say one probably the Bruins. There are teams that I hate more than them however.

True, I'm sure there's some correlation though.

The Canucks don't really have a rivalry right now. The battle against the Alberta teams is always fun but they hate each other more than they hate us.

Hopefully Seattle will change that, and Vancouver will have their first regional rivalry ever.

I guess its the kings for the ducks even though it has died down quite a bit in the past couple seasons. They are not my "most hated" team though.

With Kadri gone and their slip in the standings the shine of a Leafs Bruins rivalry seems to have worn off. I’ll go with the Habs as the historical rivalry.

bolts fan voting detroit, but boston is up there too. buffalo also always seems to play us chippy - it seems like every time we play them eichel tries to hurt mcdonagh and cernak tries to hurt a sabre

The Rangers’ biggest rivals right now would be the tri-state trio of NJD, NYI, and PHI. The Flyers and Rangers have quite a few similarities in their team structures and both seem to be nearing competitiveness (though PHI is right at the cusp while the Rangers are still building).
The Capitals, Penguins, and Rangers had a great playoff rivalry over the last decade or so, but that has obviously not carried on into the present for the Rangers.

It’ll always be Chicago. Regardless of where the two are in their respective competitive window.

Voted Buffalo. They're the only team that seems to create any heat.
Leafs fan btw.

Closest thing we have would be :caps. 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.

AVs hated DET until they moved conferences. It became MN until they struggled the last few season. It’s likely the entire division they seem to dislike.
