MONTREAL CANADIENS (1)
vs.
BOSTON BRUINS (8)
 
The Montreal Canadiens won all eight meetings against the Bruins this season, outscoring Boston 39-16.

Led by the likes of the revived Alex Kovalev and star rookie goalie Carey Price, the Habs finished first in the Eastern Conference for the first time since the 1988-89 season. The fever is definitely back in the city and fans are expecting the very best out of Les Bleu, Blanc et Rouge.

With a solid Tim Thomas between the pipes and a rock on the blueline in Zdeno Chara, the Bruins are hoping to give the Canadiens a run for their money and show them that the playoffs are an entirely new season. Revenge could be in the air.

Not only will the Bruins be looking to pay the Habs back for losing all eight times, they'll want retribution for Boston's quick exit in 2002. That season, the Canadiens (8th at the time) upset the first-place Bruins and knocked them out of post-season play.
