Boston vs Tampa Bay. Game 7. Winner takes all. Winner plays for the Stanley Cup!
- The Bruins are 10-10 in game 7s in their long history. But they are only 1-4 since 2001.
- That one win came earlier in these playoffs - in round one against Montreal.
- The Bruins dropped 2 in a row to start that series vs. Montreal. They haven't lost 2 in a row since.
- Good article here by Eric Wilbur trying to convince himself it's just another game. No it's not.
- Tampa Bay is a perfect 3-0 in Game 7s in their history.
- If they handed out the Conn Smythe Trophy right now, Martin St. Louis would get my vote
- Here's a great look at Teddy Purcell.
Here's some game 7 NHL records.

The Bruins also were 0-20something in winning a series after dropping the first two games (or so the guys at Versus, I think, said), and still here they are. With their PP lack of effectiveness no one would have thought they'd reach this far, and still they did. So this Bruins team seems set on not caring much about what usually happens, do they?
Great article by Eric Wilbur there, thanks for sharing - how many times can we tell ourselves it is only a game? It is clearly so much more than that!
