After a week of waiting, the Canadiens finally found out last night when the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs would begin. "It felt more like we had a goal today, the last three practices we were just kind of sitting there waiting,” Carey Price said. “Its nice to finally have a target date" When the Canadiens start the second round on Thursday, the team will have gone nine days between games.

"I hated Boston when I was in Montreal, and now I hate Montreal because Im in Boston." Claude Julien said. Julien spent six seasons with the Canadiens organization, three years as the head coach of their farm team the Hamilton Bulldogs, and three as head coach of the Habs. Unlike Julien, Michel Therrien wouldnt go as far as saying he “hated” his Bruins rivals. Julien and Therrien have a long history of coaching against each other dating back to their days in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. "Its not about coaches, its about two teams with a historic rivalry and their players," Therrien said prior to leaving for Boston. .
