If there was a key difference after the Maple Leafs beat the Bruins 3-1 on Monday night, it was that Toronto players seemed excited about the idea of a Game 7 while Boston sounded resigned to it. Given how this series started, the prospect of a Game 7 might have seemed distant to the fanbases of both teams, but not to Bruins star Patrice Bergeron. The Bruins have far more players with experience when it comes to winning a Game 7 or gold-medal game. A handful of Leafs remain from the 2013 team that took Boston to seven games. Toronto was down three games to one that time, as well, with the Bruins prevailed in Game 7 in overtime following a heartbreaking third-period collapse by Toronto.
