The rivalry between Montreal and Toronto on the ice is as old as time. Well, it's actually around 100 years old, but it will likely never die.
The Canadiens and the Leafs are two of the most passionately proud franchises, and being the only two Canadian "original six" teams there has always been the geographical factor.
Saying that, sometimes the rivalry may be higher-staked than others. For example, a few years ago the Leafs were in the league cellars while the Canadiens were in the playoffs, and now it's somewhat of the same except flipped on it's head.
So the rivalry may be at somewhat of a low-point at the moment, but there's no doubt fans of each team enjoys watching the other team's faithful take shots. Following Wednesday's game between the Leafs and the Stars, Dallas forward Tyler Seguin dropped a comment that would leave spiteful Leafs fans smiling.
Ouch. The shade may have been unintentional, but the blatant statement of Leafs' superiority has to have stung the ego of Habs' nation.
