http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruins–Canadiens_rivalry
Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens
The Bruins–Canadiens rivalry is considered "one of the greatest rivalries in Northern American sports,"[10] along with the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry and Bears–Packers rivalry.[10][11] The two teams have played each other more times, in both regular season play and the playoffs, than any other two teams in NHL history.[12][13]
As of the 2010–11 season, the Bruins have won 259 of these matches, scoring a total of 1,885 goals against the Canadiens,[14] with the Canadiens winning 343 of them, scoring a total of 2,160 goals against the Bruins, with 103 other games between the two teams ending in ties,[12] all before the 2004–05 NHL lockout's rule changes mandated the "shootout" format to break such tie games, going back all the way to the Bruins' first NHL season of 1924–25. In the playoffs, the two teams have met in 33 series for a total of 164 games, 10 series and some 47 more games than two other Original 6 teams, the Red Wings and Maple Leafs.[12][15] The two teams have faced each other 8 times in Game sevens, more times than any other opponents in NHL history.[16]
