BOSTON -- Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy doesn't want to change too much heading into Game 7 of Boston's first-round series against Toronto, explaining that his players "are a bit like dogs."
"They love routines, especially on game days," he said after the team's practice on Monday. "So I think you try to stay as close to the routine as possible."
Now all Cassidy needs to know is if he's got a locker room full of bloodhounds, in single-minded pursuit of their quarry, or some cuddly golden retrievers that just want a belly rub.
For the second straight year and the third time in as many playoff matchups, the Bruins and Maple Leafs have taken a series to the limit.
