I don't really see Anaheim as much of a rival. They killed us for a long time, but now they suck. As long as their is no more curse, I don't look at Anaheim in the same light any longer, with only Getzlaf remaining out of the team that always beat the Flames.

I had it:

Edmonton 75%
Vancouver 15%
Toronto 5%
LA 5%

Edmonton - obvious.
Vancouver - obvious too.

Toronto - everything from hockey mecca is jammed down my throat, and their fans in the dome are the most annoying, period.
LA - meh - Tkachuk/Doughty stuff, maybe Sutter as new coach, but probably will die down as these teams haven't played one another in a long time.

This did make me think - I don't feel like any team in the North Division really increased or decreased as a rival this season. I know I was looking forward to a lot of emotional games, and therefor IMO, a lot of can't miss hockey, but I really felt disappointed. I mean, I am obviously disappointed as to how Calgary did, but there haven't been a whole lot of 'can't miss hockey'. Still too many cold, emotionless games of teams just going through the motions.
