Who Was Last Bruins Coach To Coach Playoff Series Vs. Montreal Before Claude Julien?

Claude Julien has become a fixture in the historic rivalry between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.

The 2009 Jack Adams award winner has spent his entire NHL coaching career save for one season with either the Canadiens or Bruins.

He’s currently one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the league and is in the middle of his eighth season with the Bruins. Boston has made the playoffs in each of those seasons and have met the Canadiens in four of those seasons.

Can you name the last Bruins coach to coach a playoff series against Montreal prior to the Julien era?
