Because it’s clear the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals are one and two. Some may even debate the order, given that the Pens tend to run into the Caps more in the playoffs and the Flyers have been largely irrelevant for the last 5, 10, 15, 20, etc years. But that’s neither here nor there, it’s beyond obvious that Pittsburgh-Phily and Pittsburgh-Washington are among the best rivalries in hockey, and two of the hottest ones in recent years.
