Game of the year?

Get your cliche book out. It all comes down to one game. Win or go home. They have to give it 110%. We've heard them all before but for a game 7 for the Stanley Cup, they actually have meaning behind them. The Boston Bruins win game 6 and force the series back to Vancouver where they've played well but are yet to win. 

The way the series has been going back and forth with both teams excelling on their home ice, I'm expecting the game of the year to go down in Vancouver. Everything is telling me to pick the Canucks. They are 3-0 at home in the finals with Roberto Luongo playing lights out (not so much on the road.) They are the aggressor at home, and they seem to be a little faster to the loose puck than the Bruins. But when their back is against the wall, no one plays better than the Boston Bruins. This team has heart oozing out their hockey sweaters. From the fourth line to the first, you can tell everyone is focused and wants the Cup. 

The talking is over, the antics are over, the flopping has to be over, right? It's just talent, heart, and will. May the best team win (and whatever other cliches you can roll out!)
