Which 2 hockey teams do you think hate each other the most. It seems that some come and go, but some have been around since I was a kid? Which one is the best? or worst depending on how you look at it?
Best Hockey Rivalry

There are tons of great rivalries out there. Some come and go obviously, but some are really heated and have been for a while. The Montreal-Boston rivalry is one of the first that pops into my head and is probably one of, if not the best imo. The Canucks and Bruins are really heating it up too, especially if they meet in the playoffs again this year.
One rivalry worth mentioning is the SJ Sharks and Anaheim Ducks. There seems to be a lot of rivalry between the Bay Area, San Francisco area, and Los Angeles area. I remember watching the 2009 Western Conference playoffs when these two teams played each other and the Ducks beat them. While many people say SJ Sharks choked, we will eventually get our trophy!

Since I don't follow the NHL hockey, the following rivalries that I like seeing are in the AHL. It is usually pitted the Milwaukee Admirals against the Chicago Wolves and the Peoria Rivermen. The Rivermen dates back to the IHL days before they went to the ECHL but came to the AHL a few seasons ago to renew the rivalry. But I do enjoy watching hockey though.
Toronto and Montreal probably have most history, but Washington and Pittsburgh are getting up their with the big crosby- ovechkin rivalry. In international definetly Canada vs USA which I may add that Canada crushed.
I always love to see Canada vs USA, they usually put up a hell of a show and they have a long history behind them. But on the NHL side id go with Toronto and Montreal also.
I think the Pitts/Wash thing has fizzled out a bit. Pitts is a better team but the Caps have kind of owned them since Crosby went out. I am sure that will change.
It's more of the tv networks creating a rivalry than real rivals.

I'm not sure why people say that Toronto and Montreal have a good rivalry, because they don't. It's not really heated and I believe that is what is needed for a good rivalry. The biggest rivalry is Montreal and Boston. The best rivalry to ever be. Although Vancouver and Boston have a rivalry, it doesn't go back to the beginning of NHL. Montreal and Boston have a huge rivalry right from the NHA. It has calmed down this season, but is still a great rivalry.
This is great! E|veryone hates everyone haha. Boston always comes to .mind as well. They seem to hate a lot more teams than normal. Also the 2 teams in Alberta, Edmonton and Calgary, and Montreal and the old Quebec Nordiques were the best fighters ever.
A big one that I remember growing up watching was Chicago and Detroit.
