Who is Washington's Biggest Rival?

[Babe Ruth]

I feel like it's the Pens.. but can fluctuate with the Flyers (especially after the game a while back where a humiliated Emery grabbed a disinterested Holtby and started pounding him).

I disagree w/the earlier comparison that the Caps have a rivalry equal to Redskins-Cowboys tho'. In the days before pro football's hyper free-agency, Washington-Dallas was arguably the most intense in the league. My opinion, Caps-Pens isn't at that level.

In the fans opinion who are the 5 biggest /most hated teams of the Washington Capitals?

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

As I said before, it fluctuates. Right now it's obviously the Penguins, they just took the Cup before our eyes.

1. Pittsburgh Penguins
2. New York Rangers
3. New York Islanders
4. Philadelphia Flyers
5. TB Lightning

Ranger hate is ephemeral. It will dissipate over time when we beat them or when they are no longer relevant.

Penguin hate is eternal. They could be the worst team in the world and I'd still hate them.

They just seem to draft better

Or, you know, get picks.

I thought Maloney was the man, closed door gifts aside.
