It definitely is. Whenever I go to the Rangers board, there actually seems to be a bit of a mutual respect between us and the Rangers. We both know how it feels like to be a big market hated on by everyone with a massive inferiority complex and we definitely both know what ridiculously long cup droughts feel like, so theres a lot of "hey, I know that feel" between the 2 fanbases.
But yeah, we faced the Devils, what, 3 times between 98-02? Hell, look at how much Isles fans hate us and that was just one ****ing series lol.
