What did Bettman do that killed the rivalry?

@patsflysfan2

Rule changes. (Obstruction, refs calling misconducts for everything, last 5 minute rule, ect). Most of the emotion has been taken out of the game.

Hey i dont know about that, Humpzilla. Even though the amount of fights are nothing like they were 5-6 years ago, the FLA-TAM rivalry continues- they still hate each other lol
