While things have been quieter in Chicago Blackhawks land these past few weeks, the Stanley Cup Playoffs have been anything but silent. Tonight, the Washington Capitals will travel to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
This will be Tampa Bay’s third time in four years that they will be playing in a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals. The first time, three years ago, the Lightning beat the New York Rangers 2-0 to advance to their second Stanley Cup Final in team history.
This got me thinking about that team they would meet in the Finals who had their very own Game 7 win in their Conference Finals that same year.
