The FAN Morning Show with Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning goes into its final hour of the week fully focused on the Leafs-Bruins series heading into a pressure-packed Game 7 in Boston.

First, Frank shares what's turned the tide in the past two games, who needs this win more, how a loss could impact the futures on both sides, and how both teams have deployed their goalies. Later, Luke joins the conversation to discuss the Leafs' impressive play without Auston Matthews, Toronto's patient approach, last night's incredible crowd at Scotiabank Arena, and Matthew Knies' playoff impact (28:11). Will it continue on Saturday? We’ll all be watching to find out.
