The NHL’s handshake line is one of the best traditions in sports. It’s a unique, powerful and often very emotional moment as two sides – winner and losers – come together at the end of each series. As we saw when Patrick Kane was mic’d up after beating the Wild, there are often some truly […]

It’s really no surprise that Game 7 between the Canadiens and Bruins will be played in front of a huge crowd. It’d be a lot more surprising if the game didn’t post a capacity crowd. Now, what might catch your attention is the fact Game 7 – a game being played in Boston – has […]
