Tonight, one of their biggest rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, can help the Bruins clinch a playoff spot. Here's how:
So basically, all the Canadiens have to do is win tonight against the New York Islanders, and the Boston Bruins are officially in the playoffs.
Boston had the chance to help themselves by winning either of their last two games, and they would've clinched. Instead, they're mired in a three-game losing streak, all in regulation, which is their worst in over two years.
Is it too crazy to cheer for the Montreal Canadiens, even if it's just for one night?
