There was a time when a lot more HNIC games were Toronto vs Montréal. In 1966-1967, the Leafs played the Habs 14 times and the record was 6-6-2-0. And six more games in the playoffs, of course.
These days, we have less chance to remember how old the rivalry is, how deep the emotions go. But all it takes is a minute or two on the ice against them and it all comes flooding back.
The preview with expected lines is here:
The game starts at 7 p.m., and to the best of my knowledge, no special ceremony is planned.
