The Bruins and Blues play Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final Wednesday at 8 p.m. By the end of the night, one team will hoist the Stanley Cup. The other will leave TD Garden empty-handed.
The Blues have never been this close to championship glory in franchise history. The Bruins’ veteran leadership group in Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Tuukka Rask, and Brad Marchand know how it feels to win it all. All five players were on the 2011 Bruins team that matched up with the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Cup Final.
2011’s championship series was every bit as hard-fought as 2019’s has proven.
