Maple Leaf Force Game 7 with a shutout victory over the Florida Panthers: Live updates and reaction

Even with all the success that the Panthers had in recent years, they had some problems with Closeout games.

Last spring they missed a 3-0 lead of the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup final before predominating in game 7. They missed a chance to eliminate the Tampa Bay Lightning in round 1 during this championship, and a chance to send the Boston Bruins home in round 2 before ultimately doing work in both series.

This will be a critical experience for you on which you can go on the way to the Scotiabank Arena for Game 7 after giving a chance to push the Leafs into your summer.

Florida had not expected Toronto to go calm in this series-Brad Marchand predicted that the 6-1 loss in game 5 “The Leafs) made a jump back game and wrongly prove to many people what a very dangerous combination is” and the teams fought in a time, narrow and physical game 6.

How to best approach a must-win game, the Panthers have the feeling that they have the formula.

“I just think it's the idea that you don't have to change to adapt to the game,” said experienced defender Nate Schmidt. “The game will come to you and you have to understand that you have to be ready, but do not try to go out and make very special secret pieces to win.”

Game 7 is waiting on Sunday evening.
