But the Calgary-Vancouver thing is pretty short-lived. We're talking about what - one playoff series ten years ago? It's a big deal to some Calgary fans of a certain age - not coincidentally an age that's over-represented on this board. But it's not much of a thing otherwise.

Any sports writer that mentions Colorado-Detroit rivalry these days likely voted for Ovechkin on the LW.
