One of the best rivalries to (re)emerge in the past decade has been the Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks. The two teams don't share a division but have had some incredible playoff encounters since 2008 that have both sides chirping.
Each team has been to the Stanley Cup Final in the last five years, with Chicago lifting the cup in 2010. Between 2009 and 2011, they have met three times in the playoffs, with Chicago winning twice. There has been some name-calling from players, and even Vancouver's Alain Vigneault chimed in with some snide remarks.
