I consider them rivals but not along the lines of others like the Rangers and Philly. Rangers are by far the biggest for me. Just some sort of arrogance with that city that’s extremely annoying. They haven’t won much even though they get all the advantages in the world.
I find the Canes annoying but I respect them. They’re a good team right now. Annoying that they’ve had our number ever since 2001. Even that series they were an annoying out. Then 02 sucked and I was at that 1-0 Kevin Weekes shutout. 06 was a major bummer right after we swept the Rangers. That really pissed me off. Don’t even want to talk about 09. That was a disaster. And then they completely owned us in the 2023 playoffs.
I still carry hate for the Rangers and their fans and I haven’t lived in Jersey for like 14 years but I still can’t stand them. I never really had to deal with Canes fans so I can’t speak about them.
