But it had to be. When there is Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, someone has to lose it. That’s why this sport is so beautiful on one end and then sucks so much at the other. If you want to see every team in the NHL getting it’s Stanley Cup each and another year, it would take 31 (soon to be 32) years for all the teams to touch it once. The Boston Bruins have been in the Cup Final three times in the last eight years.
Before this feat, the Bruins couldn’t witness an Eastern Conference Final visit for 17 years.
