6-0 Boston

 

[Spectaculard]

My level of not giving a f is at its peak. Didn't even know Habs were playing today. W00t! No NHL goalies, only 2 1/2 NHL ready D, offense non-existent... Yeah, that's gonna go well tonight. If there are any fireworks (though I don't see it) it least that might be the only entertainment we'll get.

i've thrown the towel after last night.

Its ok though. As long as the sheep keep filling the bell center and the coach speaks french Molson is happy. f*** tradition and honor. What matters is the bottom line and optics. /s

 

[canucklover123]

Going tonight after the pats game, pretty pumped

 

[LaP]

So who's gonna be in the net?

 

[OldCraig71]

The BostonBruins aren't quite what they used to be but they are still superior to our band of also-rans, 4-1 Boston.

 

[Habano]

50 years ago Montreal won a series and ultimately the Cup that nobody saw coming,





We make fun of it but Montreal is our most cherished rival

Wow....Thanks for these vids @Fenway, just the names from that Mtl.- Boston series brings back some of my most cherished hockey memories from my childhood! Orr, Espo, Hodge, Sanderson, Cashman, Johnny Mac. and the rest. From the Habs, other than the obvious, the 2 that really got me were Bobby Sheehan and Phil Roberto, great memories!! Thank you

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We missed those jerks, haven't we?

Bruins the true jerks. Canes are just wannabes.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

All signs point to a lost which means will somehow win

 

[MetM]

It is a deep rivalry that spans generations.

The Bruins never allowed anthem singer Rene Rancourt to sing O Canada partially in French. The NHL allowed him to do that in 2016.

I am told Rene's French was very good.

oh I didn’t remember that.
I confirm, his French was excellent!

 

[Eco]

Primeau! Primeau! Primeau! Primeau!

 

[MetM]

Its ok though. As long as the sheep keep filling the bell center and the coach speaks french Molson is happy. f*** tradition and honor. What matters is the bottom line and optics. /s

why you don’t tell us how you really feel?

 

[Rapala]

This rivalry has been for like 5 seasons now.

So who's gonna be in the net?

Both after one of them gets pulled.

 

[sampollock]

5 to 1 Beantown

 

[Tyson]

Habs will be better with Primeau in net.
Habs win tonight

I wasn't sold on him until this year. His lateral movement, rebound control have really improved. Until Price is ready Primeau needs to be the guy

When we traded Subban the rivalry died.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Hmmmm, let's see, we have crap D, no goalies, our pk sucks, our offense is Suzuki, and we're on a back-to-back, this should go swimmingly.

8-1 Montreal.

I think that is the magic of this rivalry. I truly hate the bruins, and it is most assuredly mutual, but no matter where the other team is in the standings it is usually(with only a few exceptions) still a great game to watch where anything can happen. Its a lot closer to "any given sunday" than anything in hockey. Bruins fans from work have fits seeing us in the playoffs because you just never know. Bruins leading the league all season? habs squeak into the playoffs? They face each other round 1... Ruh row raggy.

And lucic moved on...to be fair we haven't really been a playoff team in 6 years either.

Emelin and Komisarek also elevated their games when we went into Boston as well.

 

[aresknights]

I am starting this thread to simply say I have missed the competition between our teams.



​

TY. Some great footage n memories

 

[aresknights]

Thanks for the great everyone!

 

[benthepr0p]

6-0 Boston

Not a chance. Hat trick by Suzuki... 7-3 Bruins.

 

[Born in 1909]

It will be good to play Boston again.

hopefully the crowd is extremely hostile.

The meaner the better.

 

[Big Lurk]

f*** the Bruins but of course, the respect is there!

Hens could never replace the Bruins. They should try to spark up a rivalry with Arizona or something.

To a good game, you Boston bastards!
