It was the surprise of the league, the 6th seeded Carolina Hurricanes, and one of the most storied franchises in the NHL, the Boston Bruins. Carolina had run through a wall in the New Jersey Devils to get to this point. It was game 7 in Boston, at TD Garden.
A storied building for a storied team. It’s no secret the Boston Bruins are one of the original 6 NHL teams and have a very decorated past. Carolina was in the Garden in the 2nd round of the playoffs, and a win in game 7 would mark the halfway point of their goal, the Stanley Cup.
