Game 7. The two greatest words in hockey. And an inevitability whenever the Bruins and Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The two historic Original Six franchises will duke it out for a winner-take-all seventh game for the third time in the last seven years Tuesday night at TD Garden.
Unlike the first two instances where the Maple Leafs overcame a 3-1 series deficit to force a Game 7, the Bruins became the ones to force the scenario after Sunday’s stellar 4-2 Game 6 victory in Toronto.
“Both teams are well coached and great teams,” defenseman Torey Krug said following Monday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena.
