BROSSARD, Que. - Everything is magnified when the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins meet in the playoffs, and thats how P.K. Subban likes it. The flashy Canadiens defenceman is sure to be a target for the Bruins and the TD Garden fans when the two Original Six teams meet for the 34th time in the post-season. Boston fans tend to boo Subban the same way Montreal fans give it to Zdeno Chara whenever the towering Bruins defenceman touches the puck at the Bell Centre. "It doesnt matter if I like it or Im ready for it because it doesnt really dictate how I play or how this team plays," Subban said Monday. "Thats the most important thing. "If theyre trying to find ways to get me off my game, that means Im doing something right." Montreal is on a lengthy break after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in the opening round, while the Bruins will also be rested after eliminating the Detroit Red Wings in five. It will be Subbans second career playoff meeting with the Bruins. In 2011, he had two goals and four points as Montreal won the first two games of the first-round series in Boston before going on to lose Game 7 in overtime. The 2013 Norris Trophy winner expects another long series, but hopes for a different result. "Ive always been a guy thats excited to play in the playoffs because its meaningful and because it seems like the bigger the stage, the better I play and the more I play," he said. " And when I play more I always play better. "I think I learned through that series, going up 2-0 in Boston and then losing in seven games. Its not a fun thing to do, but we were that close to beating them and they went on to win the Stanley Cup that year." The Canadiens won three of four meetings with the Bruins this season, including both games in Boston. But they will still be underdogs against a Bruins side that is little changed from the one that reached the Stanley Cup final last season and won the Presidents Trophy for having the most points this past season. "Im sure people are going to enjoy the series," said Subban. "Im predicting its going to be a long and gruelling series. "Theyre better than they were (in 2011) and its going to be an even tougher series. Trust me, were not thinking about coming home up 2-0. We know its going to be a grind." The Canadiens tend to counter the Bruins physical play with a game based on quickness and puck pressure. Bostons big men take runs at Subban, who they see as a diver who talks too much on the ice. Subban, in turn, plays some of his best hockey against Boston. "I dont consider that any part of my game," said Subban. "I consider playing well as the biggest way of agitating other teams players — putting the puck in the net, playing physical, having an impact on the game. "That seems to (make people angry) a lot more than talking or chirping." Games between the teams often get nasty, including one this season when Bostons Milan Lucic speared defenceman Alexei Emelin in the groin area. The bad blood has built up over decades of meetings between the teams. It has mostly gone in favour of Montreal, which has a 24-9 record in playoff series against Boston since their first meeting in 1929. The Bruins have won the last two, however. "I knew that part of playing for the Montreal Canadiens is there were rivalries and a lot of history," said Subban. "At the end of the day, well probably talk about it for the next three or four days but once the puck drops, it doesnt matter what rivalry or history there is. "Its just a matter of winning. Then, after the game, well talk abut history and whatever." It wont be the first Bruins-Canadiens series for Montreal coach Michel Therrien. During his first stint with the Canadiens, he won a first-round series in six games over Boston in 2002 before losing in the next round to Carolina. "I was a lot younger at the time and had more hair," said Therrien. "But (Bruins coach) Claude (Julien) has a lot of experience too. "Its a challenge for both teams." To break up the monotony, the Canadiens had a simulated game day on Monday, including a morning skate and an intrasquad game in the evening against mostly call-ups from the AHLs Hamilton Bulldogs. They will take Tuesday off and get back to regular practices on Wednesday. Toby Alderweireld Belgium Jersey . His Brazilian opponents said he produced miracles.

Both players are generational wizards who seem to amaze the football world every year. However, there is a new kid on the block looking to make their rivalry three-headed. Barcelona signed Luis Suarez for 75 million pounds from Liverpool in the off-season to add another star to the mix. Who will have a better La Liga season: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez? There were no surprises in who led the Primera Division in goals last season. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a league-best 31 with Lionel Messi not too far behind tallying 28. However, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid won the La Liga title last year for the first time in nine seasons. Atletico Madrid took that honour. Both players had world class seasons, but theyre looking to bring the trophy back to their respective clubs. Last season was one of Ronaldos most memorable years with Real. CR7 led Madrid to its first Champions League title in 14 years thanks to a record setting 17 goals in the tournament. He also led the club to their second Copa del Rey title in four years. The Portuguese international won the FIFA Ballon dOr Award, dethroning Messi in the process, who had won the hardware for three-straight years. Since joining Real Madrid in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 252 goals in 246 overall competitions for the Spanish club. Of those, 177 have come in 165 La Liga matches. Madrids starting XI is arguably one of the best in the world, with the likes of Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, as well as new signings James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos in the lineup. A squad with that talent can help bring the Portuguese international to another level. However, with such talented stars, can Ronaldo continue to be as dominant or will his production fall for the good of the team? Lionel Messi didnt have as decorated a season as Ronaldo, but he is coming off a strong showing at the FIFA World Cup, something that Ronaldo couldnt emulate with Portugal.dddddddddddd Although Messis Argentina squad fell short to the Germans in extra time of the World Cup final, Leo won the Golden Ball, as the tournaments best player. The 27-year-old scored four goals in seven games and created a tournament-high 23 chances. His success on the world stage this summer could translate to an even more successful league season. Since joining Barcelonas top squad in 2004-05 from their B team Lionel Messi has scored 243 goals in 277 La Liga matches, putting him just eight back of the all-time record of 251 goals set by Telmo Zarra from 1940 to 1955. By the end of the season, Messi will most likely be the all-time leading scorer in La Liga history and hes only 27. Last season, the Argentinian scored his lowest goal total since 2008-09, but he still commanded the pitch. However, with the likes of Suarez and Neymar also playing forward, will Barcelonas front line be too crowded for Messi to flourish? Or will a three pronged attack with a 4-3-3 system open the flood gates for Barcas number 10? Luis Suarez is coming off a career year with the Reds. The 27-year-old won the Golden Boot in the Premier League last season with 31 goals while leading Liverpool to a second-place finish. Suarez added to his hardware collection winning the Professional Footballers Association Player of the Year, becoming the first non-European to win the award. Will Suarez be able to put up the same numbers in Barcelona as he did in Liverpool? Suarez is still facing a four-month ban from FIFA after biting Giorgio Chiellini of Italy at the World Cup, so Camp Nou wont be able to see him play until the end of October. Although Suarez can now practice with the team, will he be match fit and ready when his ban is over? Who can re-create their past successes this year, bring home the bigger hardware and have the better season: Ronaldo, Messi or Suarez? As always its Your! Call.
