Max Pacioretty locked in for Game 7
On Sunday, the Leafs and Panthers will be headed back to Toronto for Game 7, and everyone knows that this is going to be a pretty amazing matchup.
Pacioretty appears to be ready for the moment, as made evident by his comments while speaking to reporters after Game 6. In fact, some could categorize his comments as quite
«It's fun. We're going to war.»
This kind of mentality is what the Leafs are going to need heading into this game, although it remains to be seen whether or not they have the heart to win this one.
In the Core Four era, the Maple Leafs have never won a Game 7, which is pretty concerning. Although things are different this year and they may just pull it off.
