Here’s a brief recap of the six-game season series between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens this season to get you pumped for the first round of the playoffs. The Bruins won the season series 5-0-1.

Wednesday, Oct. 15 at Bell Centre
Montreal 4, Bruins 3 (shootout)

In a sign of how resilient the Bruins would become this season, Boston rallies from 3-0 down after the first period to force a shootout. Marc Savard’s extra-attacker goal with 48 seconds left ties it. Carey Price outduels Tim Thomas in the shootout.

Bruins 6, Montreal 1

In the Habs’ first visit to Boston since Game 6 of last year’s playoffs, Marco Sturm scores twice and Shawn Thornton sets the tone with his first goal of the season just 2:31 in, as the Bruins rout Price and the Habs. Andrew Ference blocks an Andrei Markov shot and misses a couple months of action. Milan Lucic pounds the snot out of Mike Komisarek in a neutral-zone scrap, sending Komisarek to the sidelines for a good chunk of the middle of the season, and Jack Edwards nearly rips off his clothes in excitement.

Bruins 3, Montreal 2 (shootout)

Tom Kostopoulos ties the score with just 3:05 left, but Bruins rookie Blake Wheeler earnes the Bruins the two points when he loses the puck on his shootout attempt and it slides through Price’s 5-hole. Lucic turns down numerous offers from Habs thug Georges Laraque to fight, obviously distracting the Habs from the real task at hand.

Bruins 3, Montreal 1

Thomas stops 34 shots and levels Andrei Kostitsyn after the Montreal winger hits Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward from behind in the corner. Zdeno Chara scores twice and Mark Stuart outpoints Kyle Chipchura in a first-period bout.

Sunday, Feb. 1 at Bell Centre
Bruins 3, Montreal 1

The first time the Habs try to take the Bruins off their game with some real rough stuff Thornton destroys AHL call-up Alex Henry just 66 seconds into the game and the Bruins roll from there. Thornton adds a goal and Thomas, one of the stars of the All-Star Game on the same ice just a week earlier, makes 27 saves.

Thursday, April 9
Bruins 5, Montreal 4 (OT)

In a game that could be a scene from the next “Slap Shot” movie, the Bruins and Habs combine for 76 penalty minutes. Chara uses Komisarek as a punching bag, Lucic tackles the Habs blueliner from behind and … oh yeah, Mark Recchi’s second goal of the night — in his first Boston-Montreal game on the side of the Black and Gold — lifts Boston to victory. Thornton pounds  a turtling Ryan O’Byrne. And Patrice Bergeron blocks a Yannik Weber shot with his foot. Although the center finishes the game, he’s day-to-day heading into the postseason.

And here are some Bruins’ video highlights of them doing all sorts of things to victimize the Habs:
