Not again? The pressure is on the Boston Bruins with Game 7 at home against the rival Maple Leafs

No team in the long histories of the NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball has blown a 3-1 lead and lost a best-of-seven series in back-to-back postseasons. The Boston Bruins have put themselves in that conversation. The Bruins won the previous two showdowns, including a similar situation in 2013, and the Leafs falling short at this time of year has become a rite of spring. “We all understand that in playoffs every game is a Game 7,” said goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who stopped 24 of 26 shots in the latest loss that pushed the Bruins to the brink.
