1. Rangers versus Penguins

“It’s a cheap, dirty hit, Tortorella said. I wonder what would happen if we did that to their two whining stars over there; I wonder what would happen. So I’m anxious to see what happens with the league with this. Just no respect amongst players. None. It’s sickening.

It’s one of the most arrogant organizations in the league, Tortorella said of the Penguins after Thursday’s loss. They whine about this stuff all the time, and look what happens.”

This quote, via the Washington Post, pretty much sums up everything about the Rangers-Pens rivalry. The Blueshirts and their fans absolutely despise Pittsburgh.

The rivalry picked up in intensity when the Penguins drafted Sidney Crosby, who has turned into one of the best players in the world, but also one of the best whiners. The Rangers hate just about everything about Crosby.

These two have had some unbelievable battles, and as the Rangers continue to improve and grow as a team, this will get even better.
