There is nothing better about being a sports fan than a good rivalry.
Seeing your team best a rival and then rubbing their fans’ faces in it is a satisfying feeling, even if you know that when the shoe is on the opposite foot, you’re inviting them to seek revenge.
As they tend to do, the Bruins’ rivalries have fluctuated over the last decade. We, as Bruins fans, will always despise the Montreal Canadiens, but the team’s recent dominance over the Habs and their position in the standings (barring their fluke 2021 run) have lessened the stakes.
