One way rivalries in the NHL?

The Leafs-Sabres rival is a good example but while most Leaf fans don't mind Buffalo, I can't stand the Sabres (not as much hate as the Habs or Sens of course). Also, I feel like alot of Leaf rivalries maybe one-way. Other teams in Canada hate the Leafs and while there are other Leafs' fans than return the favour, I've got no problem cheering for Western Canadian hockey teams in the playoffs. Other than the Leafs rivalries, I'm not sure of any others, I would guess rivalries between traditional hockey markets and new teams. Like Columbus and Detroit, I'd guess Columbus would hate Detroit or Chicago (especially since those 2 teams seem like the best in the divison) but I doubt either Detroit or Chicago hate Columbus.

Do human beings in Florida somewhat care sufficient approximately hockey to make the Panthers-Lightning a contention, much less a "authentic" contention? The Caps and Penguins have a helpful contention, yet this is in all threat through fact the Caps are in a mediocre branch. As a Caps fan, I do humorous tale with Flyers followers that we are able to share a hatred of Sidney Crosby :) i could desire to work out in simple terms slightly a Caps-Rangers hate-on through fact of the two cities' proximity, a non-activities city contention, and the animosity brewing of their playoff series. Pens-Flyers--yeah. whilst i became on the wintry climate classic, I observed some adult males in Flyers jerseys wandering around and questioned what the hell they have been doing there. If there is absolutely everyone Pens followers hate greater effective than the Caps, that's the Flyers. And given their proximity, i think the Rangers and Devils could have a helpful hatefest going.

St. Louis and Chicago seem like that somewhat. I think there is somewhat of a rivalry there just because of the close proximity of the teams but I feel like St. Louis hates Chicago more than Chicago hates them.

Expat Mike, the Sabres fans think is that its not an i hate you relationship, but more a 2 hour drive down the QEW competitive rivalry to see who gets the fans.

The Canucks don't have any rivalry with the actual Minnesota team. It's just that Minnesota fans have no class.

@Hatrick Kane, I hate those St. Louis Meth addicts with all my heart. I think the Red Wings hatred we have is a one way thing (Though I really don't hate the Wings all that much since we won the Cup and Chelios retired).

Yeah, I know about the Minnesota one. They booed, but we don't even have anything against them.

Sabres fans often seem to think that the Leafs are their rivals, Leafs fans generally do not count the Sabres among our biggest rivals.

It seems like the Blackhawks are the Blues' first tier rival, but the Blues are the Blackhawks' 3rd or so tier rival.

sometimes I feel like the sens and leafs are like that

sens see the leafs as their rival but leafs dislike them but don't seem to care as much
