Summary

And it will be incredible.The pressure began building the moment Brayden Point scored at 18:04 of overtime in Game 6, giving the Tampa Bay Lightning a 4-3 win at Amalie Arena on Thursday, and it will keep building up to and through Game 7.The Maple Leafs' challenge is to embrace it, to overcome it, to give the fans packed inside Scotiabank Arena and outside in Maple Leaf Square something they haven't seen in so long."Well, I think that's all we can do," Toronto center Auston Matthews said. They know how to handle these situations, and we're trying to break through."Video: Point propels Lightning to Game 6 win, forces Game 7Each mistake is magnified in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and each mistake certainly was in Game 6.Forward Alexander Kerfoot dropped a pass to no one in the neutral zone, and forward Ondrej Palat pounced on it and scored, giving Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead at 17:38 of the first period.Defenseman Mark Giordano turned over the puck in the neutral zone, and center Anthony Cirelli raced down the ice, did a spin-o-rama and scored shorthanded, giving Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead at 10:46 of the second period.After Toronto came back to take a 3-2 lead, scoring twice in the final 34 seconds of the second period, Kerfoot took a penalty for high-sticking defenseman Victor Hedman in the offensive zone, giving Tampa Bay a 5-on-3. They defeated the New York Islanders 1-0 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Semifinals last season."You rely on past experience," Tampa Bay center Steven Stamkos said.
