I don’t like Detroit or San Jose, but Anaheim is my most hated one.

Wings? They can go off a cliff

The Ducks win this contest though. I hate the city of Anaheim and wish nothing but misery on those Angels/Ducks fans.

I don’t hate teams like LA, Detroit, and Phoenix. I just hate playing them. On the other hand, I loathe the Ducks. The only team I hate more than them is Pittsburgh.

As for the Sharks, I love playing against them. I’m glad we see them six times a year because the games are always so entertaining.

From that frustrating overtime loss and Jiggy on fire all the way back to that annoying movie, rediculous mascot and awful jerseys. Ok, maybe for a moment that angry wildwing cartoon logo had some appeal, but that duck foot as a “D” is pushing it too far. Remember that game years ago when, with about 2 minutes to go, a 45-minute Royal Rumble broke out? Brent Severyn chucking knuckles at Sydor – only to be teammates the next(?) year. Maybe it’s a blessing that so the away games are past my bedtime.

Edmonton doesn’t bother me much. They really support their team and they make nice ice and you know that they are playing for draft picks these days. They can always bring out Todd Marchant stories on you and ask how it felt to have your season end in a heartbeat. That sucked.

San Jose? I like how they are following in the footsteps of those President’s Trophy winners that fade during the playoffs. Who doesn’t love to hate Bryan Marchment, or how you could always count on Arturs Irbe to venture out of the crease to give up a goal just when you needed one?

Colorado? Much respect. Those series were awesome. Roy, Sakic, Foote, Forsberg… Clash of the Titans. Dropping everything in the middle of the afternoon to watch a playoff hockey game and realising that Mike Keane had some nifty moves.

Kings? I just find it frustrating how the season series have gone from heavily in our favor to theirs. The all blacks are pretty cool, but I’m still mad at them for ruining New Year’s Eve.

Phoenix was only fun when it was time to deal with Roenick and Tkachuk. Losing to Tipps teams is like rubbing salt.

Detriot can go pound sand. Take all that hockeytown, octopus, red army shtick and take a long walk. I don’t even want to pay the wings enough attention to hate them. Yeah, yeah, Stevie-Y and Gordie Howe, but I can’t stand it when Dallas turns red when they come to town.

Is voting for the Oilers?

It’s not the year 2000 any more.

Dunno. Other than that, it’s been fun to knock them out.

I think it is harder to make this list because of not being in the playoffs for 2 seasons and having a shitty team.

1) San Jose-there is no team I love to see loose more than them
2) Anaheim
3) Detroit- anytime you loose to a team in the conference finals that team is gonna rise up on the list
4) Vancouver- Im biased because I live in BC, but I HATE the Canucks more than any other team in the NHL and lately they seem to have the Stars number and it pisses me off
5) Colorado/Edmonton- It’s a toss up and this is a nostalgia thing but old rivalries like this dont ever die they have just dwindled a bit…if we face them in the playoffs in the near future you will see it reignited in a hurry. You cannot play the same team in the playoffs over and over like we have these 2 teams and not acknowledge the rivalry.

2. Detroit 3. Anaheim 4. Los Angeles 5. Phoenix

Colorado just has no one left from the old rivalry days (except Hejduk and Foote I guess), and the Stars-Avs games of the last several seasons have just not had that spark to them in my opinion. Ask me this question 5 or 6 years ago and Colorado might be no. 2 on the list. Edmonton hasn’t been on the radar since the pre-lockout days, but Stars-Oil games are admittedly still fun.

1. Duck, Duck, DIE.
2. Harpoon the Sharks.
3. Clip the Wings.
4. Off with the Kings’ heads.
5. Roadrunner > Coyote.

1. Detroit- A whole list of reasons…Red Wings fans and ‘08 Conference Finals is a start to the list.
2. San Jose- Close second. Love it when they lose, and love it more when they choke in the playoffs… especially since a good friend of mine is a Sharts fan.
3. Anaheim- Ok with the city, love the hockeygiant store down the street, but I hate the Ducks.
4.L.A.- Too many close, high scoring games with these guys in recent years…and their fans are some of the most classless people around(go figure its L.A. right?) and since I live in San Diego it’s natural to hate anything L.A.
5.Trashville I mean Nashville- I still hate Tootoo and the classless fans that follow them.

This is difficult because the Stars haven’t been to the playoffs in 2 years. So the teams you hate are the ones you play the most, with the exception of Detroit. My list…
1. Red Wings, nostalgia? Opponents in one of the best stars playoff series in 08’. Also happens to be their last playoff appearence.
2. San Jose, because they are so good, and it feels good when Nisky beats them in the SO.
3. Anaheim, Bobby Ryan is a cock block.
4. Kings, because they are so good, and they have a whole new generation of “good” players to hate.
5. Pheonix, thank you James Neal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzEOVZcz-s

#1: Ducks
#2: Sharks
#3: Wings
#4: Wild
#5: Avalanche

Even though the LA Kings’ve gotten to be a good team these days, all I remember them as is the team that seemed to lose everything.

This list is hard for me because I have no particular emotions regarding most other NHL teams right now. Maybe that will change.

but i hate the canucks more than words can detail.

1. San Jose – I get chills every time I think of October 24, 1998. That’s the night Bryan Marchment made his return to Dallas and 17,000+ at Reunion opened the game with a “Marchment Sucks” chant.

Obviously, San Jose fans didn’t have much love for Belfour. And even though both players hung up the skates long ago and neither roster has any single player that could considered polarizing, the rivalry still lives on.

2. Ducks – I openly loathe the city of Anaheim. Or at least their sports teams.

3. Kings – I don’t know how any Stars fan can’t have them on this list when you consider the number of strange losses that the Stars have suffered at the hands of the Kings at Staples Center.

4. Canucks – Just something about their fanbase that annoys the hell out of me. Granted, I shouldn’t hate them too much personally when you consider that my other team has made them their playoff bitch in each of the last two years.

5. Avalanche – I know the Stars had their playoff triumphs over them in the 90’s. But it’s those encounters in 2004 and 2006 that leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Especially in 2006. The Stars simply had no business losing in five games to those clowns.

I will forever hate Andrew Brunette for everything he ever did to the Stars in the postseason.

because, well, their fans are almost as annoying as U of Michigan fans. muck fichigan

The team’s top five rivals and my top five most hated are different.

Team’s top five:

1. San Jose
2. Anaheim
3. LA
4. Phoenix
5. Detroit

My top five most hated:

1. Detroit
2. Pittsburgh
3. Colorado
4. Anaheim
5. San Jose

I can’t stand being beaten by fish.

The fact that when their in town half of the AAC is red is enough to make me hate them. There is no other team I want the Stars to beat more every year than the Wings.

2. San Jose- A division rival, always seem to be really intense games when we play them. That epic series a couple years ago just helped the rivalry.

3. Anaheim- Read above next to San Joes.

4. St. Louis- The last couple years these teams act they don’t like each other. There always seems to be some sort of fight or injury that comes out of these games. And don’t forget the Blue’s fan whole “Kill Steve Ott” movement earlier in the year.

5. Maybe LA- They don’t really strike me as a team I hate, but the weird happenings in their building earns them the #5 spot.

Honorable Mention- Buffalo- Maybe not the team, but at least their fans. For one, that “Let’s Go Buffalo!” chant gets annoying. But mostly because for some reason their fans act like we went up there, stole their child, brought it back to Dallas, and then Guy Carbonneau threw it off of a second story balcony. Or something like that.

If that douche Marchmant hadn’t knocked out Nieuwendyk, we’d have won back to back cups

But beyond all of that, doesn’t it just seem like the Stars have always iced a roster full of dirty players who make it their hobby to take cheap shots at our beloved heroes?

Ummmm, I know you have Steve Ott, but I think you meant to say:

But beyond all of that, doesn’t it just seem like the Stars DUCKS have always iced a roster full of dirty players who make it their hobby to take cheap shots at our beloved heroes?

Do any other teams claim Dallas as the #1 Rival?, I know, that sucks. We’ll be yours guys, dont worry. But I’m afraid you dont rate as ours.

As a ducks fan I hate Dallas, but I in no way consider you our Rival like maybe some of you do. It would be the kings or sharks, to say Dallas is a Ducks rival is stupid, but to say you hate us is more understandable.
