6. Handshake Line With Montreal
There are few rivalries are as stories as the one between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens. The only way to make a game between the two clubs more meaningful is to add the word “playoffs” to the mix.
During the second round of the 2013-14 season, the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens met in a series that went the distance with the Canadiens taking the win in game seven to advance to the conference finals. With the series over, the handshake line was set to take place between the two clubs; an age old sign of respect in sports. This handshake line however, will always be remembered more distinctly than any other moment in the series itself.
During the handshake line, Milan Lucic shared some words with Montreal Canadiens’ forward Dale Weise and defenseman Alexei Emelin. The words that Lucic said to Dale Weise were “I’m going to (expletive) kill you next year”.
While it isn’t one of Milan Lucic’s proudest moments, it can never be said that Lucic doesn’t have passion in his game. A moment that Lucic would probably like to take back in hindsight, it will forever be a moment entrenched in Bruins’ history.
