Boston Bruins

Bruins vs Habs tonight and round two of the Lucic-Komisarek confrontation. I do not expect Komisarek to fight but a good bodycheck and intimidation game is on. I do not remember a time when a Boston- Montreal game was not entertaining. From the time when I was a kid when the Bruins were in town it was always exciting. From the Rick Middleton, Brad Park, Terry O'Reilly , Reggie Lemelin era to the Craig Janney, Cam Neely, Ray Bourque, Andy Moog teams to now it always have been interesting and hard fought battles.

I remember the Chris Nilan or John Kordic fights with Jay Miller, the TicTacToe goals of Bourque-Oates-Neely and now I have to admit the honey bears are looking very solid. Maybe the best Bruins team since the beginning of the 90 when they reach the final only to lose to Edmonton and Bill Ranford in 7 games.

I remember the Boston fans sitting in the blues at the old Forum, completely drunk after the second period, chanting and having fun but always respectfull of the 10 years old french kid sitting beside them. Even protecting him from some of their friends who were enjoying the moment a little too much. My Dad and I had mini-season tickets in the rafters at that time. 10 games packages that always had to include a Boston game.

Tonight though my dearly Habs are the underdogs, they do have a chance to break the losing skid they are on against the Bruins. We woldnt want to lose 8 straight against them like they suffered last year do we?

Imagine the actual Habs team with Lecavalier as their leaders going in Boston....
