Could the Bruins' History in Game 7s Point to the Result of Sunday's Match?
Over their 98-year legacy, the Boston Bruins have participated in numerous game sevens.
The question is, can their recent performances in these matches foreshadow the outcome of Sunday's showdown?
As mentioned by Ty Anderson earlier, the Bruins have shown impressive results in game sevens since 2008, particularly when they've missed the opportunity to secure victory in game six.
With a 4-2 record in such situations, their most recent triumph came in 2008 against the Maple Leafs.
Keeping up with the Pattern
Interestingly, Boston has been successful in game sevens after failing to clinch the series in the previous match. It's worth pondering if they held 3-1 leads in any of those past encounters.
According to Scott McLaughlin, this year's game seven against the Florida Panthers will create a new NHL milestone for the most all-time appearances:
Fans are eager to see how the Bruins will perform on their home turf at the buzzing TD Garden.
The Panthers, however, have managed to quiet the passionate crowd in two back-to-back games, including a 6-3 win in game two and a nail-biting 4-3 overtime victory in game five.
Take a look at head coach Jim Montgomery's media interview below, captured as the team returned to Boston today:
