Once upon a time long, long, ago there was a season when neither the Leafs nor the Canadiens made the post season playoffs. It seemed so unusual, that the management of both teams got together and decided that there should be some sort of competition between the two teams because of their great rivalry. So, they decided on a weeklong ice fishing competition. The team that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win.
So on a cold northern Ontario lake near Pointe Au Baril, they began their contest.
The first day after 8 hours of fishing the Canadiens had caught 100 fish and the Leafs had 0.
At the end of the second day the Canadiens had caught 200 fish and the Leafs had 0.
That evening the Leafs coach got his team together and said, "I suspect some kind of cheating is taking place." The next morning he dressed one of his players in Canadien colours and sent him over to their camp as a spy.
At the end of the day the disguised player came back to report to the coach. The coach asked "Well, how about it, are they cheating?"
"They sure are," the player reported, "They're cutting holes in the ice".

Re: Habs Vs Leafs
Back in 1975, the Habs played a charity hockey game against a combined team of firefighters and cops. It took place on the St. Lawrence River. A lot of the regular players had opted out of the game for one reasn or another, so to make up a full roster, they brought up some players from their farm team the Syracuse Eagles. One of these players was a young guy from Moisie, Quebec by the name of Gaston 'La Grande Chien' Rose. The game was going pretty good with the score tied at 2-2 when Yvan Cournoyer saw Rose out in the open. He skilfully passed him the puck. Rose got a breakaway and was never seen again.

Re: Habs Vs Leafs
The only thing I can add to this thread is that Pointe Au Baril has an LCBO right next to the gas station.
