However, when you get to a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals where either team has a chance to win, there truly is nothing better. There is nothing guaranteed about Game 7, which is why the Boston Bruins must give whatever it takes to win.
St. Louis Blues head coach Craig Berube has made it clear that the Blues are going to be finishing every check because after tonight, nothing matters.
For the Boston Bruins, they must understand that and bring it back to them. Get in front of every puck, capitalize on any opportunity, and keep the Blues guessing all night long.
