Bruins Flirting With Making Choking History
The Bruins can make sports history with a Game 7 loss against the Maple Leafs.
After back-to-back poor showings in Games 5 and 6, the Boston Bruins' previous 3-1 series lead is now long gone. The Toronto Maple Leafs have forced Game 7, and with how things are going right now for Boston, it is hard to believe that many feel confident with the Bruins.
Thankfully, the Bruins still have one more chance to close out this series against the Maple Leafs. Anything can happen in Game 7, and they have the advantage of being at TD Garden for the matchup. However, if they lose this contest, they will take choking to a whole new level.
If the Bruins drop Game 7, they will be the first team in NHL, NBA, and MLB history to lose back-to-back playoff series while having a 3-1 series lead. The Bruins, of course, epically collapsed last year in the first round against the Florida Panthers after putting together a 65-win regular season.
This is something that the Bruins will desperately try to avoid in Game 7. If this does happen, one can only imagine the changes we will see to their group next year.
