Bitter rivalry highlights Flyers-Pens

PITTSBURGH (AP) Some NHL rivalries evolve from a big game, a major trade or a short-lived scuffle, then fade after a few years. Not the Philadelphia Flyers vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins.

This rivalry is real, perpetual, and, mostly, downright nasty.

Evolving from state lines and bloodlines - and it's mostly bad blood - it's been one of the league's most heated since the teams were born in 1967. Now, for the first time, it will decide a Stanley Cup finalist as the Pennsylvania teams meet in the Eastern Conference finals beginning Friday night.
