Story Of My Life: Canucks & Bruins – Game Seven

> Remember This Hour: Their goalie has been shellacked twice this series, the defense is undermanned and injured, their top line isn’t producing, their second line lost a winger to go along with their injured pivot, their third line is leading them in scoring and Interpol is searching for their power play. Then again, it’s a game seven so anything goes. Vigneault has the last change and that may be all that’s needed to back up Daniel’s (unfortunate?) prediction of a game seven win. There are whispers of Hamhuis returning or even Baumgartner stepping in tonight, but the fact is the defense will need a gem. Lastly, fair or not, tonight will define Roberto Luongo. No room for error, no excuses, no tomorrow.

> Remember This Hour: The Conn Smythe has already been awarded to their goaltender, the defense refuses to commit any mistakes, they’re getting balanced scoring from all lines and have every right to have a bit of swagger heading into tonight. Then again, it’s a game seven so anything goes. As in the previous three games in Vancouver, how Julien manages Chara/Seidenberg will be vital. He learned the hard way splitting them up – and allowing the Sedins to get at Boychuk or Ference – hasn’t worked well. Then again if the Bruins load up the scoreboard early it won’t matter. No room for error, no excuses, no tomorrow.

> Impress Your Friends With Knowledge!: The last three Canadian teams to reach a game 7 in the Stanley Cup have all (a) been from the Northwest Division and (b) lost. Here’s hoping that trend ends tonight.
