Since 1924
Bruins vs. Canadiens
Hockey's most played and most passionate rivalry
The Bruins-Canadiens rivalry is the most played in NHL history, with over 900 regular-season and playoff meetings between two Original Six franchises separated by just 300 miles of New England highway. Boston and Montreal have been battling since the Bruins entered the NHL in 1924, and the intensity of their competition has never wavered through a century of hockey.
