T.OWingsFan 7 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Who still hates Anaheim more than Pittsburgh? Or is this now the de-facto rivalry for us? You tell me because while I despise The Boy King, I don't really have a hate on for Malkin or the rest (even though I think Malkin is dirty). But there's just something about the Quacks. Am I alone?

Doc Holiday 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 I hate Anaheim because of their team. I hate Pittsburgh because they are the golden team of the NHL. So you aren't the only one. If Pittsburgh wasn't touted as the best team to ever play I wouldn't have a problem with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Anaheim are the anti-Wings. Nobody really cares about Pittsburgh. We hate Crosby, but it seems no one here really has a problem with the rest of the Pens. We just happened to face them twice but I don't really feel any rivalry growing.

IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 Your not the only one! In fact I was just thinking of this today. I was thinking of the Ducks series, thinking about how intense it was. It was coined as the Stanley Cup Finals. I thought the same. It did not work out that way but we were not playing with the "same" team in the Finals. Had the same Wings team or the same ducks team showed up in the finals, Pitt would not be hoisting the cup. I have more hatred for the Ducks. I hate the Pens too. It is almost impossible to have a rivalry with a team from the Easy East. We don't see them enough, the only rivalry we have with the Pens is a media one.

HanKarin40 7 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 You are not alone my friend! I hate Anaheim! Maybe I wouldn't feel this way if they were more concerned with playing the game of hockey than trying to goon it up. To me, they are so dirty and I must say it at least a half dozen times every time we play them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTU_Huskies963 398 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 The Ducks take you down with them. After playing the ducks you might as well lost the series, because the team playing them will be so banged up afterwards. Lucky bastards in the east don't have to play the ducks!!!

No, I hate Pittsburgh worse. Anaheim is a good team, Pittsburgh is an ok team that gets a lot of outside help. I still feel they shouldn't have even made the third round.

redfan13 1 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 I'd say the team i dislike the most is Anaheim... The pens, i don't mind except for Crysby... If we're talking rivalry's i'd love to see the Avalanche rivalry pick back up but unfortunately don't see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NC WINGS FAN 5 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 As much as I hate s***tsburgh and Fagpuss Crosby and his boyfriend, the Commish, I still hate the Ducks way more. I really do not hate Colorado anymore, but I hate the Dicks far more than I ever hated the Avs. I hope to God that the Ducks miss the playoffs next year by becoming the leagues first perfectly imperfect team, 0-82-0 baby!!

After playing the ducks you might as well lost the series, because the team playing them will be so banged up afterwards. Lucky bastards in the east don't have to play the ducks!!! The East is a much easier road to the Cup. Much less travel, far more bottom feeding teams, no real powerhouses - perhaps Pens and Caps getting there now but the lower seeds in the East are usually pretty weak. If the Wings were in the East, we'd be in the ECF every year, SCF alot more. But we're not, gotta deal with the travel and the schedule, just the facts.

PDX Wingman 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2009 I don't give a damn about Pittsburgh, and I'm not buying this "rivalry" crap that they're trying to thrust upon us in the media. Sure, they supposedly beat the Wings, but that'll happen from time to time. It's hard to hate a team when you only play them maybe twice a season. There's no real animosity between us. I hate Bettman more than I hate Pittsburgh, because he decreed that they'd get preferential treatment in this final. Anaheim, on the other hand, has played us dirty and is a conference foe. While the Wings eeked past them in the playoffs this year, the Ducks are the team that really defeated Detroit, by beating the hell out of our guys over a seven game period. Pittsburgh just reaped the benefits of that and of playing a weak bunch of Eastern Conference opponents. The only team I really hate right now is Anaheim. Chicago is definitely threatening to become a rival. Pittsburgh's just the league's sweetheart. I don't respect Crosby, but I don't hate the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
