Instead we have guys getting beat by a scrub on an icing with an empty net. And getting turnstiled by Ryan ####ing McLeod.
Conroy, please get rid of the tired old guard and bring in some guys who will actually get up for a rivalry game.

Outside the playoffs, rivalries aren’t really a thing in the NHL anymore. The skill on in the ice in today’s NHL has never been higher, and the emotion has never been lower.
