The Canadiens own the all-time record over the Bruins at 470-352-103-11 including a 106-71 record in the postseason. But the 1987-88 Bruins defeated the Canadiens in the playoffs for the first time in 45 years.
"I think the league is missing a big, big thing," Miller said before the Bruins-Canadiens matchup on Saturday night at TD Garden. "... What I do miss is playing maybe two (home) and two (away) or three and three. Four and four is a little much, but that rivalry ... it was exciting. It was just one of those things that you just really got amped up for."
The Bruins defeated the Canadiens on Saturday and in true Boston-Montreal fashion, there was one tilt in the game. Trent Frederic and Josh Anderson dropped the gloves in the second period after a tussle along the endboards that saw Anderson take several liberties against Frederic while he was down on the ice. Boston owns a 2-0-0 record over Montreal this season. The Bruins will look for the regular season sweep when they travel north of the border to faceoff with the Canadiens on Mar. 14 at the Bell Centre.
