How did we get to this Game 7? The Eagles jumped out to the 1-0 and 2-1 leads in the series, but then Florida ran off two straight wins to take the 3-2 lead in the Kelly Cup Finals. First, the Everblades won in overtime and then shut-out the Eagles 5-0. It looked like the Eagles were done, but Colorado rallied in Game 6 to win 4-2 and force this Game 7.
