Which of our new division rivals do you hate the most?

[Big Z Man 1990]

This year we moved from the Central to the Metropolitan (nee Atlantic) Division of the NHL. We have a whole new set of division rivals now.

So which of them do you hate the most? You can say more than one team.

I hate the Penguins (and especially Crosby) the most because of the whole Ohio-Pittsburgh factor as well as the fact that they always beat us (like the Steelers always beat the Browns).

Second on my hate list is Philadelphia, because I can't stand fans of any Philly sports team (I've heard about how bad they are)

Third is the Devils, as their nickname suggests they are literally evil, as well as the fact that Rutgers is joining OSU in the Big Ten next year.

You should make this a poll.

I thought for sure I'd hate Philly, but it's Pittsburgh - the team I grew up rooting for!

Pittsburgh and Philly. We need to teach them some respect.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Pens and Leafs have topped the list so far.

 

[fox2usp]

Pittsburgh. Their fans made me hate them.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Pens and Leafs have topped the list so far.

Leafs are in the Atlantic not the Metro

 

[jackets4life]

Penguins, and its not close.

 

[SCB502]

Team Philly, fans by far and away Pittsburg.

 

[Nanabijou]

Philly.

I have a long-standing dislike of that team.

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Leafs are in the Atlantic not the Metro

My bad was thinking East I guess.

Really have not started to hate any other Metro team yet.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Flyers but that's not a new thing.

 

[SuperGenius]

Pittsburgh. More for the road fans than anything else. The fans at Consol were pretty decent. I don't even mind Crosby much as he's matured and stopped diving/whining as much as when he came into the league. Malkin is a *****, however. Cannot stand how a guy that size can't handle any sort of physical play - often resorting to dirty plays or hits if anyone dares to touch him.

But boy do I hate those fans. That's enough for me. No real opinions on anyone else so far.

 

[FreeBoomer61]

Definitely sense a nice rivalry between the Jackets and Flyers budding this season. But boy do I hate Pittsburgh.

I hate the Rangers since Zubov was traded. And I just disliked them prior to that. So, some idiots who pretend to be a fans from Pennsylvania or Jersey won't change my habit to hate the Rags.

Since "The Dutch" aren't an option here, I'll go with the Capitals. Mainly because I hate the Alex Ovenchicken "look at me" show.

Follow that up with the Penguins, a close second ... which surprises me, because I grew up idolizing Mario Lemieux and the Pens.

 

[Fro]

Hate Pens fans....Hate NYR team...mainly the quitters that wear 6 and 1 in their jersey numbers...

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Pens def. Also NYR. The rest haven't gotten on my nerves really.

 

[cbj21]

Philly for now.

 

[Columbus Jack]

I cannot stand Philly, not to mention their ****ing broadcast crew.

After sitting in front of some obnoxious Penguins fan last Sunday, It is easily the Penguins for me!

Question to the OP: Why are you so into rivalries? Seems like it's what you talk about mainly.

Rangers because of the guys we traded to them. Most of us were right, Dorse is the kind of guy you can easily hate if he is not playing for you. Nash? It is hard to hate a cuddly panda bear. But I wish him not one ounce of success with that team.
