I have a somewhat irrational dislike of the other teams in the Original Six,

and I have always hated the Bruins only slightly less than the Leafs (sic). But, you know, Boston won the game last night because they played better hockey. That Robby Ftorek sent a player out to peg Richard Zednik (real video; try to ignore John Davidson being an apologist and just generally a sycophant) with a minute left to play and a 5-2 lead says to me that Boston doesn't think they can't actually win the series. And that they are a bunch of classless thugs.

Michel Bergeron : "Rien ne va battre la rivalité entre le Canadien et les Nordiques.

Ça allait au delà des équipes. C'était deux villes, deux brasseries et des journalistes des deux côtés. Et chaque équipe comptait 12 ou 13 Québécois dans son alignement. Moi, je ne vois pas de grosse rivalité aujourd'hui. Le jeu est robuste, mais nous sommes en séries éliminatoires." It was like salt in the wound to learn that Robby Ftorek, with his giant bowling ball helmet, used to play for the Nordiques.
