Agreed! It is going to be nice to see if some of the old rivalries heat back up. We know that BOS-BUF and MON-BUF are going to be chippy. My fave old rivalry was TOR and BUF, fueled by Rayzor-Domi scraps.
I even get bothered a little by the head taps and back-claps guys give to one another after a dustup. I know most of these guys are friends off the ice, but it does make a show and trivializes how they just tried to knock each other senseless. I think the lack of showboating shows more respect for a fellow combatant than a pat on the back.
