Decades of the Bruins-Habs Rivalry

There's a long, long history between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Since the Bruins joined the NHL in 1924, the two teams have battled again and again.

From the Richard Riot in the 1950s to countless brawls until the 1980s (and Stanley Cups in-between), this rivalry is not short of storylines. With tough players like Chris Nilan and P.J. Stock donning both teams' sweater, it's not short of characters, either.
