The Bruins lost to the Habs four (4) consecutive playoffs in the 1950's.
In 1952, in 7 games in the semi final.
In 1953, in 5 games in the cup final.
In 1954, in 4 games in the semifinal.
In 1955, in 5 games in the semifinal.
I knew about this in the late 1970s when CBC used to repeatedly feature it as part of the history of the Montreal-Boston rivalry (that was intense in my youth).
Skip a year and it keeps going...
1957: lost in 5 in the final
1958: lost in 6 in the final
6 times in 7 years is rough
The late 50's Habs came to mind when I first read the post, but they won a lot of their playoff series in 4 or 5 games and HO was looking for 6 or 7
