Rivalry Week: The low-point of the Lightning/Panthers “rivalry”

It’s Rivalry Week here at SBNation and what’s the one thing we’ve learned? That the Lightning fan base does not consider the Florida Panthers to be Tampa Bay’s biggest rival.

Do you consider the Florida Panthers to be the Lightning's top rival? If not, who would be?

Wow….that’s not even close. Based on the comments it seems Boston would be the current rival for the Bolts (although Bruins fans may disagree with that), and the Panthers, based on their lack of success recently have faded from the ire of most Lightning fans.
