Tonight's Boston Bruins game is set for a 7:45 puck drop, after the host Montreal Canadiens celebrate their 100th season opener. The game, a rematch of last year's NHL playoff series, won by Montreal, pits the Bruins against goalie Carey Price, whom they have never beaten in the regular season. Bruins head coach Claude Julien told The Boston Globe that his team is honored to be a part of the festivities tonight, even if they are focused on an archrival: When they asked us if we wanted to participate in it, I wanted our team to be part of it. "It's a great occasion, not just for the Montreal Canadiens but for hockey. One hundred years is unbelievable. It's a big night for them and we respect that. We'll be part of it as well. I'll be glad to be part of it and be here for the occasion."
