I didn't think the Canucks had a long enough history to be hated. I figure most each like the team or indifferent. They haven't stolen a cup from anyone and I can't think of any natural long-term rivalries.
Compare that to Montreal or Toronto which have a strong rivalry and natural enemies in each other.

I don't think that Montreal-Toronto is that big of a rivalry right now. Maybe it will get stronger with a few playoff series.
Boston on the other hand... 5 playoff series vs them since 2002.
