With current contenders like Vegas, Winnipeg, Nashville, Pittsburg, SanJose, Tbay, Boston

up and comers like Colorado, Jersey, Columbus, Toronto, Florida, Philly

Montreal with or without Carey Price is not even on the radar.

Daddy Campbell was in charge, the Bruins got away with everything that season including in the playoffs.
Yes, you are right. How could I forget that. "Collie". I cant stand that guy. Finally got the boot when those emails were discovered.

They played Tbay that year on their run. Tbay lived off their powerplay. Well game 7 with the Bruins wouldn't you know it.....not a single powerplay. Not one penalty called. lol. That was so obvious.

Campbell should not even show his face around the rinks.

If you want to talk other sports- football, soccer, whatever- but in hockey- hands down the Bruins are the greater evil, it's not even close.
If you believe that then you either don't and/or have never had to live in Southern Ontario and/or you are too young to remember playing the Leafs in the playoffs. Either that or you live in New England.

I was a kid living in the Evil Empire in the late 70's when the Habs and Leafs played each other in the post-season two years in a row. Had the Habs lost my life would have been made a hell on earth. Fortunately the Habs not only won both series but won them both in 4 straight so it was I who got to make life hell for Leafs fans. But the threat was always there.

I was living in Barrie at that time. Totally identify with you on that. :thumbu:

None of the above. You hate the Laffs over 2 playoff series since the 70's? The Habs/Bruins have had about 20 playoff series since the 70's, man and I thought I held grudges for too long. :wg:

I've lived in Southern Ontario my entire life. No question that the prime rivalries are the battle of Ontario and Montreal-Boston. Its almost 40 years since the last playoff series between Montreal and Toronto. They've rarely been competitive at the same time in the last 20 years.

Thats not what he said.
Sounds like he hated the leafs before then, He was relieved (living in T.O) that he did not have to put up with Loafers had the Loafs managed to win either one of those series.......or a single game for that matter. Instead he was relieved that it went 8-0 in Habs favour.

For most Habs fans the difference is this......they cant stand Bruin teams and cant stomach Leaf fans.

Hard to have strong hate for the Leafs teams simply because they were rarely ever a threat for decade after decade.

Even the best team the Laffs had in the last 50 years (1993) The Habs won the Cup same season. :thumbu:

But they are still saying "if Gretz had been tossed for high sticking Gilmour the Leafs would have won the Cup over the Canadiens". :huh:

Leaf fans are why I want the Leaf teams to lose.

Im old school.........I have two teams, the Habs and who ever is playing the Leafs.

I rarely have to deal with Bruins fans but Leafs fans are like cockroaches. All it takes is for their team to win a game and they all crawl out of the shadows and start annoying me. Their very existence offends me.

Whenever Leafs fan trots out that argument about the Gretzky high stick as the reason they lost that series and then go on to say that they would have beaten the Habs in the finals I always give them a reality check.

The high stick occurred in Game 6. The Leafs still had Game 7 and home ice to boot, and they still couldn't get it done.

And as I am always quick to point out to them: "If you couldn't beat a team backstopped by Kelly Friggin' Hrudey, how on earth did you figure you'd be able to beat a team backstopped by Patrick Roy? In what parallel universe could such a thing ever happen?"

I was in Oshawa. The janitor at my school shared season tickets to the Leafs and I had a lot of fun taking the p*** out of him during those years. But I was constantly having to deal with delusional classmates who were convinced that Sittler was better than Lafleur, that Salming was better than Robinson and that Palmateer was better than Dryden. It was "alternative facts" 4 decades before Trump.

and they never watch hockey "after the leafs are out" One reason they know very little about play off hockey.

As far as I know.. Leafs fans haven't made irredeemable racist comments on Twitter aimed at PK Subban and Joel Ward.

So, there's no situations where I cheer for the Bruins.

Again, if you had to live in Southern Ontario as a Habs fan and listen to them denigrate your team as "a bunch of frogs" you might re-think your position.
