Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins
7:00 PM ET, April 27, 2011
TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts
The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins are certainly used to facing each other in Game 7.
Another do-or-die showdown may be easier for the Canadiens to stomach.
In the eighth all-time Game 7 between the bitter Original Six rivals, the Canadiens look to continue thriving when faced with elimination while the Bruins attempt to avoid faltering again in the ultimate playoff contest Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Montreal and Boston have faced off in more Game 7s than any other opponents in NHL history, with the Canadiens winning five of seven, including the last two (2004 and 2008).
They also reached the Eastern Conference finals a year ago as the eighth seed, upsetting Washington and Pittsburgh in seven games.
The Bruins haven't enjoyed the same success since ousting Montreal in Game 7 of the first round of the 1994 playoffs, losing the last four series that reached the finale.
