Well, that's exactly what they've done the last two games. And it should come as no surprise as it's the same story every year for Boston. They have no drive until their backs are against the wall. Their record in games where they can close the series out is abysmal, yet, at the same time, their record in games where they can stave off elimination is incredible. All of that balances out in a game 7, where the Bruins are kind of hit and miss, as one might expect.
So frustrating being a fan of this team, where every single series is a battle even if it doesn't need to be. This series has been a battle against themselves more than anything. All due respect to Toronto, who have played well in their own right, but the Bruins have had a very rough series outside of Rask and the Krejci line and just look terrible out there. No one else is playing close to their potential, yet here they sit at another game 7. Not sure what to expect tonight.
