Game Seven. They are the two best words in sports, no matter the sport.
Prince Albert Raiders fans hope to be part of something magical on Monday night as the team pursues its first WHL championship in 34 years against Vancouver. This spring we’ve seen the San Jose Sharks face adversity not once but twice in seventh games, only to get to the NHL’s Western Conference final.
On Sunday we saw Kawhi Leonard send a nation into a frenzy with a buzzer-beating shot against Philadelphia in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
It’s where heroes in sports are made. There are those athletes who don’t shy away when a team’s playoff life is on the line. There’s something special about an athlete who, with the game on the line, wants the puck on their stick or the ball in their hands, and when they come through, there is nothing better.
