Football or hockey: which has better rivalries?

Question

I asked this in the football section too

Answer 1

Canucks And Wild. Flyers and Penguins. Red Wings And  Avalanche. Islanders and Rangers.

Answer 2

Hockey. Football rivalries play 2 times a year...SOMETIMES 3 if they meet in the playoffs. NHL rivalries play up to 8 times regular season, and then always find a way of playing in the playoffs too.

Answer 3

Are you jokin!?!?!?! Have you seen some of these hockey rivals.

New York Rangers- New Jersey Devils

Toronto Maple Leafs- Ottawa Senators

Toronto Maple Leafs- Montreal Canadiens

Calgary Flame- Edmonton Oilers

Detroit Redwings- Colorado Avalance

Just to name a few. When these rivals turn on you can't even watch sometimes!

Answer 4

um devils rangers

chicago detroit

detroit colorado

ny-ny

pits-phily

should i go on?

Answer 5

Hockey. Long playoff series breed hate of the other team, more things can happen. One game a year against a team is not enough to make the teams just passionately hate each other. Ohh, a team knocked another out of the playoffs. Woo. But did they do it in a seven game series fought until the very end and decided on a fluke goal? Did they do it several times in history?

Football just does not have the depth in contrversial and hard fought games that hockey does, simply because there are less games and less chance for something to brood over a season. In hockey, if a team does something you you- a cheap hit, a slash after a play or something, there's another game against that team to et back at them. Add to that the heat of the playoffs and having to play at least 4 games back to back?

Football is nowhere close.

Answer 6

What's football?

One life. One game. Hockey.

Favorite rivalry:  Red Wings and Avalanche

Answer 7

Football

Im going their to answer.

Answer 8

At a professional level, neither are very impressive, but I'd go with the NHL over the NFL.

In college however, football CRUSHES hockey rivalry-wise.

Answer 9

Hockey, because not only do the fans get in it, but the players do to, with fights, hits, cheapshots, and it can get pretty nasty.  Also the giants and cowboys play each other 1 or 2 times a year, it just doesnt develop

Answer 10

Football has some good rivalries but hockey has more of the rivalry games, as well as good rivalries.  Therefore, I'm giving the edge to hockey.

Answer 11

Football by far there are:

Dolphins- Jets

Cowboys-Redskins

Packers-Vikings

49ers-Rams

Bears-Packers

Giants-Eagles

and many more

Answer 12

I honestly have to say hockey because on top of the rivalries due to past histories among teams you also get the locality thrown in there too....like:

ny-nj

ny-nj (the other ny)

pits-philly

chic-detroit

det-avs

ducks-sharks

montreal-toronto-ottawa

buffalo-ottawa

in the football the teams are more spread out so you have that good rivalry like with the giants and cowboys but its not that next door neighbor rivalry

Answer 13

I would say hockey because of the number of times they play each other.  With an 82 game schedule, 8 games against division rivals and best of 7 playoff series it is natural that hockey would develop better rivalries.

Answer 14

hockey is way better. ok think as this. no offence but this is what i found on the random websites. if u like hockey u r competitive and if u liike foot ball u like to get hurt

Answer 15

hockey does because in each division rivalries are here devils - rangers - islanders, pens - flyers, Chicago - Detroit, kings - ducks, lighting - panthers, all the Canadian teams and plus you can fight in hockey, go to the penalty box, serve your time and then go back out on the ice. if you fight in football you are thrown out and suspended for a while

Answer 16

Not to familiar with the Foosball so I'm gonna go with Puckey!!!

plus isn't footballs season something like 12 games? once a week? And your luckey to play each team once? One game a year is hardley a rivalry in any way!!!

Answer 17

DETROIT vs Colorado
