With five games to go in the season, I took one look at the standings and saw the Canadians floating around the 7th or 8th seed for the playoffs. At that point, I had a feeling the Bruins would be facing Montreal to get redemption for last year's game 7 debacle, it was inevitable.
Starting from the off-season you could tell the 2 teams were moving in different directions. The Habs didn't make an impactful move at all, as where the B's made a couple upgrades. Forwards, Blake Wheeler and former Canadian veteran Michael Ryder provided need depth and scoring ability.
The Bruins dominated the six regular season match ups going 5-0-1. Recently, Montreal backed their way into the playoffs going 2-3-1 in April. But, this is the playoffs and the most hated rivalry in hockey so anything can happen. Look for a Bruins blowout in game 1 followed by 4 or possibly 5 closer games with the B's advancing to the next round. The 7:00pm puck drop can't come soon enough.
