Hockey fans, tonight's the big night: The St. Louis Blues vs. Boston Bruins series is tied 3-3, and the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Finals championship is up for grabs in a deciding Game 7.

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is being played in Boston at the TD Garden, on Wednesday, June 12. Based on what's happened so far in the Bruins vs. Blues series — including some amazing goaltending, outrage over supposedly missed calls by the officials, and Bruins captain Zdano Chara playing despite being hit with a puck in the face — tonight's Game 7 is bound to be epic.

Among the other storylines in the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Finals, the city of Boston could complete the extremely rare triple championship: The Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots won the most recent World Series and Super Bowl, respectively, and a Game 7 win by the Bruins would give Beantown three championships in a row in three different sports.

The St. Louis Blues, on the other hand, are battling for their first championship and are the oldest NHL team to have never won the Stanley Cup. The Blues are also contending with a bizarre jinx, after the hometown St. Louis Post-Dispatch jumped the gun and mistakenly published an online ad on Sunday congratulating the team for winning the championship — before the Bruins wound up winning Game 6, forcing tonight's Game 7.

Here's everything you need to know to watch the Blues vs. Bruins Stanley Cup Game 7 — online, or on TV, for free.
