A few 91 days of 91 ago, reader t.cann112 posted a comment with a suggestion to tackle a topic that I hadn’t thought about:
Who is Stamkos’ biggest enemy? Who are his biggest rivals on the ice? Brad Marchand makes sense, but every team hates Marchand. Does he have any kind of “Sid-Ovie” rivalry?
Sidney Crosby has Alex Ovechkin. Auston Matthews will have Connor McDavid AND Patrick Laine. Gordie Howe had Maurice Richard. Even Rob Ray had Tie Domi.
I’ve been mulling this over for the last few days, trying to remember if anyone in the NHL has been set up as his rival.
