It has been said by players in many sports rivalries that "the rivalry exists more between the fans than between the players". When tomorrow night's NHL playoff series between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens begins, that will not be the case. To put it bluntly, these guys hate each other. In their 6 meetings this year there have been 15 major penalties, 10 fighting majors and 4 game misconducts (2 belonging to the Luc Ness Monster). In other words, these teams will not just be putting everything on the line because they want to win, but also because they want the other side to lose so very badly. Do yourself a favor and don't miss a minute of it...with a little luck we'll get to see Lucic destroy Komisarek one more time.

When you add it all up that is a lot of guys with grudges and scores to settle.
This rivalry should be up there with the likes of the Sox v Yankees.
