It’s rivalry week here at SB Nation, and we’re getting the opportunity to talk about the teams we love to hate. I personally felt like this is a topic I'm well suited for, considering that rivalries are what got me into the sport in the first place. I hate many teams in the national hockey league with a startling fervor, but there are two that stand alone above the rest.
The first, the Pittsburgh Penguins, aren’t really a rival of the Predators, so I’ll table that discussion for another time (if I ever start writing about the Flyers for Broad Street Hockey, this will be discussed for sure).
