Paul Bissonnette reveals major information on the Maple Leafs tonight
It's the first game seven of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and its between two original six rivals in the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs. In this exciting night, there are many unknowns, such as Auston Matthews' health.
After leaving game 4 following the second period due to an illness, Auston Matthews missed all of games 5 and 6. Varying reports emerged, and ultimately the Toronto Maple Leafs chose to keep it all quiet. He appeared at regular practice today, however:
It appears tonight they will play their hand and dress Auston Matthews, marking the first time this post-season the entire core four will have played together, as William Nylander was injured for the first three games. This is what broadcaster and hockey personality Paul Bissonnette suggests:
This is going to be a curse-breaking night for one team; the Toronto Maple Leafs could break their streak of six consecutive game-7 losses, or the Boston Bruins could fend off being the first team in NHL history to be eliminated after fumbling a 3-1 lead consecutively.
So - who do you think will seal their ticket to play the Florida Panthers in round 2 tonight?
