On April 9, 2011, it was determined that the Canadiens would play the Boston Bruins in the first round of the playoffs. The Boston Bruins entered the playoffs as the third seed in the Eastern Conference after winning the Northeast Division with 103 points. The Montreal Canadiens earned the sixth seed with 96 points, winning the tiebreaker over Buffalo in regulation + overtime wins (41 to 38). One of the greatest rivalries in North American professional sports, this was the 33rd meeting of these teams in the postseason, which is the most frequent playoff series in NHL history. Montreal had a record of 24–8 against Boston in the 32 previous series played by the franchises, winning 18 straight between 1946 and 1987.https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/story/?id=359247&hubname=nhl-canadiens YOUR CALL: WHAT IS THE DEFINING BRUINS-CANADIENS MOMENT?
