Stanley Cup Final: Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues Game 7
It's Game 7. Here's everything you need to know.

The two sweetest, scariest, most stressful words in sports: Game 7. The Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues will meet at TD Garden Wednesday night with the Stanley Cup on the line. The Bruins haven't won the Stanley Cup since 2011, when they topped Vancouver in another Game 7. The Blues haven't won the Stanley Cup since, well, ever.
To get to Game 7, the Bruins won Games 1 and 3 and staved off elimination in Game 6 in St. Louis. But the Blues haven't lost back-to-back games since the first week in May, and the road team has won four games this series. Translation: It's anyone's Cup tonight.

- A broken jaw isn't keeping Zdeno Chara out of what will be his NHL-record 14th Game 7
- Robert Thomas, who was the victim of a memorable hit by a helmetless Torey Krug in Game 1, will not play Game 7 after playing Game 6.
