Which leads to the interest The Bruins dislike a few other teams, maybe the New York Rangers, but none of them are worth putting here because the hatred for Montreal is enough for five teams. The Bruins have owned the Sabres in recent seasons, including beating them in a first-round playoff series in Boston forward Milan Lucic also ran over Sabres goalie Ryan Miller earlier this season and was not suspended, which caused a lot of controversy.
That goal still haunts Sabres fans to this day. The Calgary Flames really don't like the Edmonton Oilers because not only is it a Northwest division rivalry, it's a geographic rivalry known as the Battle of Alberta. I would also add the Vancouver Canucks as a team the Flames and their fans hate, but I would rank the Oilers as enemy No.
The Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks are the two teams the Chicago Blackhawks can't stand, especially given their recent playoff battles, which have been quite exciting. Let's hope these three teams meet in this year's playoffs, because the hatred for one another will make for one awesome show.
The Colorado Avalanche definitely don't like the Detroit Red Wings, going back to their intense playoff battles of the s. The rivalry has cooled off a bit since then, but the hatred is still there. The second team I would say the Avalanche hate is the Dallas Stars, which again is because of their previous playoff battles.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are another team that hasn't been in the NHL too long, but I can assure you they really don't like the Detroit Red Wings because they eliminated the Jackets in the team's only playoff appearance during the season. Columbus also has a dislike for the Chicago Blackhawks, who, as a Central division opponent, have owned the Blue Jackets for many seasons.
The San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks are the two most hated teams for the Dallas Stars for the simple fact that all three are Pacific division teams that face each other often. The Stars really don't have a massive rival, but seeing these teams often has built a dislike for one another. The Detroit Red Wings are the model franchise of the NHL and have enjoyed great success in recent seasons, but two teams that often stand in their way are the San Jose Sharks, and more recently, the Chicago Blackhawks.
Hopefully we see these teams battle in the playoffs this season. It's a massive geographical rivalry that goes back many years. The Vancouver Canucks are another team the Oilers hate but to a lesser extent when compared to the Flames.
The Florida Panthers have been one of the worst franchises in pro sports for years, but this season they have played great and sit atop the Southeast division standings. Two opponents they hate are the in-state rival Tampa Bay Lightning and division rival Washington Capitals. However, after the lockout, with rookies like Crosby, Malkin, Mike Richards and Claude Giroux entering the league, both teams were serious Cup contenders and the rivalry came back to life.
Since , the teams have met in the playoffs four times, each series with its share of fireworks. Talbot got pummeled but lit a spark under his bench. The Penguins fired off five unanswered goals and moved on to the next round. That was evident on Apr. The teams met again a few weeks later for the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, where the Flyers beat the Penguins in six games. Flyers rivalry will be around for years. In , NHL commissioner Gary Bettman considered a realignment plan that would put the teams in different divisions and cut their regular-season meetings down to two games.
Flyers then-president Peter Luukko told the Times Herald :. The Blue Jackets entered the league in and spent their first 13 seasons in the Western Conference. That changed in with the realignment. That changed in with the realignment, and the Blue Jackets moved to the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. The teams were scheduled to meet five times in the regular season and likely in the playoffs.
The Penguins and Blue Jackets met in the first round of the playoffs. The series went six games with the Penguins moving on to the next round.
The two teams met again in the first round of the playoffs, where the Penguins were victorious in five games. In a video interview with the Columbus Dispatch, Tortorella said:. I say that not in a personal way, but as a team that we want to beat.
