For the Maine Timber it is an extremely easy answer. The Newfoundland Berserkers will always be one of our greatest rivals. Sadly this is not because there has been a history of a perfect back and forth matches. The Berserker's were the bane of the Timbers existence for an extremely long time. They were the reason that the Timber found an early exit from the playoffs for 10 consecutive meetings. Recently the rivalry has finally taken a nice turn towards the Timber. Maine has managed to end the curse and allowed for 3 playoff series victories over NL in the recent seasons. With this recent success in the rivalry it has cause some wonder if this is in fact the Timber's #1 rival. With those questions being asked it did not take long for NL to remind the Trees where they stand in this rivalry and pulled off an impressive victory over the team last season in the conference finals. Assuring us all that this rivalry is alive and well.
