A new rivalry?

I'm pretty stoked to say the least that we get to face the Canucks again in the second round, just like last year. They have a very good team, but I can't help but think that it will be a little easier than the series against the Preds because of the style of game that they play. Plus, I think we (especially Kaner) have Luongo's number, and if what I hear is true about Buff skating as a winger again, he will get in Luongo's head, and in his crease, all day.
As of right now nobody knows when game 1 will be, as we have to await the outcome of what could be a very epic upset in the Habs/Caps game. If Montreal wins, that means the Eastern conference had all upsets except for silly old Sidney Crosby. The only "upset" (and I use that term very loosely) in our conference was unfortunately those pesky Wings. The original Blackhawks rivals. But lately the buzz has been about the Canucks being our new rivals. It kind of got me thinking.
The rivalry we have against the Canucks is pretty new but also pretty intense. I have liked the Hawks for a long time, but due to the lockout and other issues, I kind of fell from them until I saw that we had the first pick back in 2007, and Patrick Kane intrigued me to say the least. Then the death of old man Wirtz kind of brought everyone back into existence, and we were all a big happy hockey family again. But the point is, for loving those early 90's hawks teams, I was taught the very important lesson of hating Detroit. My brother would even throw a stuffed octopus off of the loft at my grandmas house and then we would proceed to beat it with a wiffle bat. To me, it was the first big rivalry (besides the obvious Sox/Cubs) I ever got to know, and I still hate Detroit the most. But this new-age rivalry with the fans that have just jumped on board is pretty awesome to me too. I learned to hate Vancouver mostly because I hate Luongo and because of Mitchell's hit on the Captain a while back to give him his concussion. You can add the Sedin sisters into the mix of why I hate Vancouver too. The games against them are always very intense and this will be alot of fun.
So basically, while fans see this is a big rivalry for the Hawks, let's also not forget the biggest rivalry of them all. But even with that being said, this series is going to be insane. I just want it to start now =(
