1 of the things I like about NHL is that a few teams have multiple rivals, some fans might be split on who they hate the most. Rangers might have lots of fans who hate them, and opponents the consider them 1 of their rivals, but I can think of 3 teams the Ranger fans hate the most but who is it?

Islanders, far and away. I hate the Islanders, I hate their fans, I hate the coliseum, I hate their backwards ass franchise, Islanders suck.

True, I hate New Jersey too. Such a tough decision.

I never really thought of the Islanders as big rivals, even though they play in New York, as well. I guess it's due to the fact that they were pretty unsuccessful when I started following the NHL back in the early 90's.
And the Flyers - well, since I'm not living in the USA I guess those rivalries aren't that obvious for me. I wouldn't have thought about Philly as rivals for the Rangers, other than due to the fact that they are in the same division, and I always disliked the Penguins a lot more than the Flyers.
I get why some of you guys are feeling this way, though, since I feel the same way about several German soccer teams who are situated close to my home town :lol:

Trust me my man, if you grew up on Long Island, you'd hate the Islanders more than any other team.

I do, believe me. I enjoy hating several teams with passion ;)
Not saying that it's an important or a classy aspect about being a sports fan, but it definitely makes wtatching the games a lot more fun and intensive :lol:
