Poor Boston Bruins

A guy from work told me that the Canadiens just barely made the playoff two times in the past four years yet beat the bruins, which were clear favorites, in the first round of the Stanley Cup.
Boston were seeded first(2002)and second(2004)while the canadiens were eight and seventh respectively. Boston led 3-1 in the series.

Well that sure adds a lot of excitement to the oct 18th game. I'll be watching the Canadiens-Bruins season opener Wednesday very closely for a preview of what to expect.
