On Wednesday morning the Bruins are hoping to be the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7, 3 times in the post season. But, the Bruins skipped their morning skate... Bad idea? Boston's coach, Claude Julien said that his team was "focused and ready." But with a 3 game combined score the Bruins have only managed 2 goals in Canada. They are 0-3 at Rogers Arena. Can this team do the impossible, and win 3 different game 7's? The Bruins' goalie, Tim Thomas seems to think so, saying, "this is what every kid dreams about, game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals." Thomas has been absolutely stellar this postseason, allowing only 8 goals in 6 games in the finals.
The Canucks aren't going to sit back and let the Bruins just claim the prize though. Vancouver is obviously the favorite, being that their playing on home ice, and that has been THE trend in this series. Roberto Luongo has been inconsistent to say the least. After criticizing Tim Thomas after their game 5 win, he was embarrassed in game 6, being pulled out in the first period. Vancouver fans are clearly worried about their seasoned veteran goalie, but he remained calm simply stating that he just has to move on from game 6, and he has to believe himself.
The resilient Bruins and Canucks will face off for game 7 at 8:00 tonight on NBC. With the Bruins' backs against the wall, will they come out swinging? Or will Canucks fans see their team win the Conn Smythe Trophy for the first time? Stay Tuned...
