Islanders-Rangers, when both teams are good it blows yankees-red sox away

Personally, I don't find baseball to be fast-paced enough to create a really exciting rivalry. I think that there are many more exciting rivalries than Redsox-Yankees. One that no one has mentioned yet (at least when I skimmed the thread) is Red Wings Vs Avs. This one is always cool as hell.

Was more fun when they used to really beat the snot out of each other. It's calmed down now.

The Yankees-Red Sox thing is actually wearing thin on me. I enjoy the back and forth between the fans, but the media circus that surrounds the teams and all the hyperbole around each series gets to be annoying.

So I go with Bruins-Canadiens.

For the past, Ali-Frazier.

Best in the present:

Michigan vs. Ohio State
Toledo Storm vs. Dayton Bombers (hockey)

Best in the past:

Detroit Red Wings vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
-particularly home and home on Hockey Night in Canada

As in, as of last season? If you're an OSU fan I'm sure you're psyched as hell for the game this Saturday at 1:00. This means that it's a great rivalry; it's all a fan of either team has been thinking about all season.

OSU/Mich

there's not a game with more hate/emotion in it anywhere. this is as close as you will see to someone getting their head ripped off as there is, unless you watch a video of someone actually getting their head taken off. the fans hate each other. the stadiums packing 105-110k people.

The problem I have with the Yanks/Sox rivalry right now is the fact that there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between these teams. There's no fighting, no bad words, no bulletin material. I'll still watch, but is it the best rivalry right now? no.
