The Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens' first meeting of the season lived up to the ferocity of the century-old rivalry. There were 56 minutes of penalty time throughout the 60-minute game. 20 of which came within the first four minutes of the first period.
It was also a game to decide who was going to be the number one team in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins walked away with the win on Saturday in a gritty and wild game, winning 3-2.
The History of the Bruins and Canadiens rivalry
The rivalry between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens may not be the longest in the League as a whole, but it is one of the longest rivalries that match up with that of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees kind of rivalries.
