Five reasons Pittsburgh-Columbus is a true NHL rivalry

I would, respectfully, say that if you have to make a list of reasons justifying why this is a rivalry...it's not a rivalry.

Add the fact Torts hates the Pens?

With Malkin and Sheary out tonight I'm not looking forward to this game. Not that it would be an easy game with a healthy Pens team, but with those specific injuries? It's going to be a major struggle for the Pens.

That's okay. I'm sure the majority of us Penguins fans think he's an overrated, jackass. I can't stand him or his antics. I think Columbus wins because the team is good, not because of his coaching.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. CBJ is good for three reasons this year:
1) His coaching.
2) Bobrovsky finding his game.
3) Good health

I 100% expected to read a satirical article. Now im confused.

4) incredible depth

Now that Craig Adams is gone, he has no one to protect him from Hartnell.

Hawt!

It's no rivalry until the CBJ beats the Pens in a playoff series...

But any time the CBJ wins in Pittsburgh it is a good thing.

Off topic, but maybe one day the Browns will have their long time rivalry with the Steelers reborn, the biggest rivalry in the NFL for decades (along with Chicago-Green Bay, Dallas-Washington, and Oakland-Kansas City).

That old and now almost dead rivalry is what the CBJ-Pittsburgh could have been if
the CBJ had not been so incompetently run for so long.
