The Montreal Canadiens took to the Bell Sports Complex ice on Sunday for a third straight day of practice since completing their opening-round sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Eddie Vanderdoes Raiders Jersey . Only this time, they were preparing for a date with the 2013-14 Presidents Trophy winning Boston Bruins, who secured their spot in the second round after defeating the Detroit Red Wings in five games. Meeting for the fourth time in seven seasons and for the 34th occasion all-time, the Canadiens and Bruins get together in an Eastern Conference second round series that begins this week. "Youre going to have to fight for everything. Theres no such thing as an easy game when you play against Boston," Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges said following practice. "Theyre very well structured. They play a great team game. Youre going to have to fight for your real estate, youre going to have to fight to get on the inside and to get second chances in front of the net. "If were going to succeed, were going to have to do everything we can in the dirty areas." Gorges, who will face the Bruins in the postseason for the third time in his NHL career, was unable to take part in the Canadiens most recent playoff meeting with Boston in 2011 after undergoing season-ending knee surgery. "What the Bruins have done in the last few years in the playoffs has been as good as or better than any other team in the league," added Gorges. "We know we have a great challenge ahead of us. Its going be hard. Its going to be a long series. Weve got to be prepared for that." The last time the Bruins and Canadiens met in the playoffs was in 2011, when Boston ousted Montreal in seven games in its march to winning the Stanley Cup championship. No teams have come close to meeting in the playoffs as many times as the Bruins and Canadiens. The 170 games between the Bruins and Canadiens are the most for playoff opponents; the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs are next with 117. "Theyre a good team; they know how to win. Theyve shown that by winning the Cup a few years back and making the Stanley Cup Finals last year," winger Thomas Vanek said of the much-anticipated series. "I know TD Garden is a tough building to play in, but so is the Bell Centre. For us to have success or for anyone to have success, youre going to have to beat some really good teams in order to win that ultimate prize. The Bruins are one of those teams." The Bruins lost three of their four games against the Canadiens this season, including two games played in Boston. The Canadiens have won six of the past seven games and are 351-264-103-7 in the regular season against the Bruins. "The Bruins are the same team they were in the regular season. Thats what makes them so good," defenceman Mike Weaver said. "Theyre going to be an extremely tough team to play against and it will be a great challenge for us. Thats what playoffs are all about. You hear a lot of things about that rivalry, but playoffs take things to another level." Head coach Michel Therrien made a change to his line up at practice on Sunday, opting to put a healthy Travis Moen on the fourth line - a move to bring in more veteran presence against an experienced Bruins team. Here is Sundays Practice Lines: Forward:Pacioretty - Desharnais - VanekPrust - Plekanec - GallagherBourque - Eller - GiontaMoen* - Briere - WeiseBournival - White - Parros Defence:Markov - EmelinGorges - SubbanBouillon - WeaverMurray - Tinordi Goal:PriceBudaj *In first round, Michael Bournival played left wing on the fourth line. Moen skating in that spot represents the one lineup change in preparation for the Bruins. The NHL is expected to release the schedule for the second round on Monday.

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone dismissed Tuesdays massive anti-government protest in Manama as "a lot of kids having a go at the police."

The Revs are in great form at the moment having won seven of their last eight games to climb to second place in the Eastern Conference, four points back of leaders D.C. United. Montreal, meanwhile, is just about assured of finishing on the bottom of the table in the East with one win from its last six games. New England took a big step toward reaching the playoffs for a second straight year last weekend with a gritty 2-1 win over fellow playoff contender Columbus. Lee Nguyen continued his fantastic campaign with a goal in the 20th minute to put the Revs in front, only for the Crew to answer back through Ethan Finlay five minutes later. Jermaine Jones scored the winning goal in the 67th, while goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth turned in a great performance with six saves to preserve the victory. It wasnt the most eye-catching outing of the season for New England, but Shuttleworth was quick to point out how that type of win at this late stage in the season says a lot about the team. Thats what this time of the year is all about, Shutttleworth said after the win over the Crew. Gareon Conley Jersey. Were 30-something games in now. Its all about grinding results out like that. I think were the type of team where if were grinding, we can play when were on, but if were grinding out results like that I think teams are going to have trouble with us. Saturdays match is the third and final meeting between the two sides this season, with each having claimed a win. The Revs will certainly be favored to walk away with three points, and if they can, it would be a big step toward finishing in the top two in the Eastern Conference for the first time since 2007. Montreal will attempt to slow New Englands momentum, but at this point, the Impact is simply playing for pride. After losing eight straight away games, Montreal managed to earn a 0-0 draw at Chicago last time out, which will at least have the team feeling a bit more positive heading into what figures to be a tough matchup. Its not the style of play that we prefer, but sometimes you have to grind out results in this league, said Montreal defender Heath Pearce after the 0-0 draw with the Fire. I thought we competed well in the second half. We scrapped it out and when you compete, you get a result.
