Formerly playoff foes, Milan Lucic and Nazem Kadri now form a united front in Calgary

May 13, 2013 was a significant date for both Milan Lucic and Nazem Kadri.

At around 6:30 p.m. local time, the two rugged forwards took to the ice at TD Garden in Boston for warmups before what would become one of the most memorable games in recent hockey history: Game 7 in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins.

Lucic, then 24, was at the top of his game as one of the most feared power forwards in hockey. Just two years removed from a 30-goal season and a Stanley Cup, the hulking winger had the chance to lock down his spot in the hearts of Bruins fans everywhere if he helped lift his team to a series win over the hated Leafs.
