The match will be a culmination of nearly two weeks that have seen both clubs scratch and claw their way to three victories. We've seen half of the games trek to multiple overtimes before being decided, and the teams have played a total of 472 minutes -- the equivalent of |

Boston still has history overwhelmingly weighing against it, as only two clubs have ever rallied to win a series after falling behind three games to none. The Toronto Maple Leafs did so against Detroit in 1942 and the New York Islanders accomplished the feat against Pittsburgh in 1975. The Bruins' were surely pleased to finally get some production from Thornton, who finished third in the NHL scoring race this season. The pow |

Detroit, on the other hand, will try to become just the third team in National Hockey League history to come back from a three games to none series deficit.
