Game Seven

Those are the two best words in sports. Nothing compares to a Game 7, especially in these Stanley Cup Playoffs. It’s your opportunity to play for another 2 weeks and to keep the dream alive… or it’s the 60 minutes of hockey that you’ll be thinking about when you’re down in Florida playin’ golf with your buddies. Every shift is a grind and played like it’s your last. Every save by your goaltender gets you that much closer to the next round. Every penalty kill is a battle that is played like it’s do or die. Every hit makes your opponent a tad weaker. Every goal brings unparalleled excitement through the arena and on the bench. Every Game 7 has a hero and a goat. Every Game 7 should be cherished and remembered.

Last year, there were only 3 Game 7’s in the postseason, and all 3 took place in the opening round. So these 2 games tonight could be the only Game 7’s in these playoffs (hopefully not). Tonight’s game should be awesome!! Enjoy the ride as 2 teams will live for another day, and other 2 will be headed home earlier than they expected.
