Tonight's game is highly anticipated for Leafs and Bruins fans alike as the two teams face off tonight in Boston.
Statistically, more games are won on home ice but with momentum behind them, many are hoping Toronto will continue to break through and onward toward the Stanley Cup.
What to watch:
The First Goal
Whoever scores first has a .746 winning percentage in the history of all Game Sevens on their side (there have been 169 such games). The Bruins have played 25 game sevens in league history and won 13 of them; Toronto Maple Leafs have played three fewer, winning only one less.
Bruins' Big Line
When the Bruins went to Game 7 five years ago, defensive centre Patrice Bergeron scored the tying and winning goals in overtime. Joined by Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, the three amassed five goals and 15 assists for a combined 20 points in games 1 and 2.
Losing to the Leafs 4-2 in game 3 is what some might call an upset. Possession was great in Game 5 and Game 6, but overall the top line has been 1-for-43 shooting the puck.
Frederik Andersen
If you like to keep your eyes fixed on the goalie, you're not alone. After leading his team the Magog Cantonniers to a 7-4 win at the 2018 Telus Cup here in Sudbury yesterday, former Maple Leaf goalie Félix Potvin continues to watch the Leafs, of whom he said, "It's fun to see 'em win. I mean I'm pulling for them. Andersen is doing a tremendous job in net. Momentum is on their side, it's going to be a great game seven."
Andersen made 19 saves in the third period of Game 5
A great game this will be, indeed! How will you be watching?
