Pat Maroon and Kevin Shattenkirk dropped banger quotes ahead of game 7
As Game 7 looms large, Bruins players Pat Maroon and Kevin Shattenkirk have offered words of wisdom. Shattenkirk stressed the importance of confronting the pressure head-on rather than evading it.
Shattenkirk on a Game 7: «You meet it head-on. You don't run from it.»
Meanwhile, Maroon's approach is refreshingly simple: he focuses on the game itself, sidestepping the anxiety that can accompany such high-stakes matchups.
Pat Maroon, asked about how to deal with nerves in a Game 7: "You're talking to the wrong guy. I just play."
Their perspectives underscore the significance of mental resilience in playoff hockey. As the Bruins prepare for this crucial game, their mindset will play a vital role in their performance on the ice.
Additionally, there's a historical element at play. If the Bruins lose tonight, they risk etching an unwanted mark in NHL history. Last year, they surrendered a 3-1 series lead to the Florida Panthers, a collapse they're keen to avoid repeating. With this history in mind, the Bruins are determined to showcase their best game for a full 60 minutes, aiming to rewrite their playoff narrative and secure victory in Game 7.
