Tampa Bay's Shaky Ben Bishop Faces Potentially Career-Altering Game 7

That seems harsh, considering this is his first foray into postseason hockey. Judging a human being as they react to a unique pressure situation for the first time seems unfair, but that’s only because fairness has never had a place in sports.

When Bishop takes the ice for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final on Friday night at Madison Square Garden, it will be his first time in a game of that magnitude, which could be said for each successive game he's played since mid-April.

He won’t be in a hostile environment, although he will be in MSG.
