Seven heaven has arrived for not just for the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes but the Stanley Cup Playoffs as there will be three Game 7’s on Saturday and two on Sunday to close out the first round.

Will the Boston Bruins pour TD Garden ice water on PNC Arena ice prior to Game 7?

That, all your Stanley Cup Playoffs news and more in the latest BHN Bruins Daily:

Boston Bruins

Boston Bruins defenseman Derek Forbort has been a shot-blocking machine in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and is finally becoming that gritty stay-at-home defenseman the Bruins thought they were getting when they signed him last offseason.

Just like this current series between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes, the 2011 Stanley Cup Final was a home team wins series until Game 7 in Vancouver. To help flip the script though, then Boston Bruins winger Nathan Horton bottled up some TD Garden ice water and brought it to Vancouver for Game 7. He then poured that water onto the Rogers Arena ice for good luck and it worked as the Bruin went on to win the Stanley Cup with a 3-0 win in Game 7. Rumors have been circulating that the Bruins may try this again in Raleigh today.
