MONTREAL — Hockey star Marie-Philip Poulin is motivated by the opportunity to compete in the playoffs, no matter the opponent.
The fact Montreal will face off against a team from Boston in the Professional Women’s Hockey League post-season only adds fuel to the fire.
Montreal coach Kori Cheverie, of New Glasgow, N.S., says Boston is a rival no matter where you're from. Dempsey played for Harvard University, the Boston Blades of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League and the Boston Pride of the Premier Hockey Federation. The 33-year-old is also a rabid Bruins fan who “grew up with the heated rivalry.”
Boston, meanwhile, was on the outside looking in before winning four of their last five games in regulation to enter the playoffs on a roll. Within the matchup is a duel between two of the world's best netminders. Ann-Renée Desbiens, who backstopped Canada to gold at last month’s world championship, takes the crease for Montreal against American starter Aerin Frankel.
