Best Northeast team besides Boston?

Definitely, but so is being first now

Think most were surprised by the Habs performance last season.

Montreal

Ottawa if they were healthy

2007-08?!?
That was the last time Boston was "Montreal's *****" and in no way was that Boston team better than Montreal. Boston was an 8th seed that was happy to make the playoffs.

Since 2007-08 Boston has dominated Montreal in every way possible including going 2-0 against Montreal in the playoffs, one of which was a 4-0 series sweep.

To answer the OP...... apparently Montreal? Definitely Ottawa when there healthy though. I think Toronto is 3rd this year though based on injuries to Ottawa. I have no idea what's wrong with Buffalo.

Lol nice try. We beat you in the season series in 09-10 going 5-1-0 and again in 10-11 by going 4-2-0.

1-3-2 in 2009-10. Boston had a shut out and 2 overtime loses.
2-3-1 in 2010-11. And do you remember the 8-6 victory Boston had? The one where Boston beat the **** out of the entire Montreal team? How about the 7-0 victory to close the season series? Where Boston (again) beat the **** out of the entire Montreal line up.

Wins or loses, Montreal has been Boston's ***** for years now.

That's absolutely ludicrous.

Nemesis.
That's odd, it didn't bleep out the word for me...

Bruins have won 7 out of the last 11 playoff meetings against the Habs. That's since I've been a fan of B's. Could care less about the 70's. This notion that Boston has been Montreal's *****, is just simply made up by Habs fans, I guess to make themselves feel better about all those losses. Also, the Bruins have as many division titles since 2011, as Montreal has had since 1993.

[Canadiens Ghost]

And yet, just mention the possibility of a Bruins- Habs playoff match-up and many B's fans start to get nervous (to put it politely). Wonder why?

[Habs 4 Life]

All jokes aside and I know we have been **** in the last few years against the Leafs but a Montreal vs Toronto matchup in the playoffs would be ****ing awesome to watch

Toronto
Montreal
Ottawa

Keep pretending that that makes the losses any better, but we've beaten you more since the '04 lockout than you've beaten us. Not to mention shutting you out 8 times compared to 3.
