Game 7 Road Winners / Home Losers

[PurpleRush]

As tonight's game 7 looms in Boston, here's some lengthy and much unnecessary game 7 info.

The Celtics and the Bruins have lost the most home game sevens in their respective leagues.

The Celtics have also won the most NBA road game sevens, including two in the Finals (LA '69, Milwaukee '74)

Interesting baseball tidbit, in a 4 year span, the Yankees would lose a game 7 at home only to beat the same team in game 7 on the road the next year (lost at home to Brooklyn 1955, won @ Brooklyn 1956, lost at home to Milawuakee 1957, won @ Milwaukee 1958).

Here's how each team stacks up in their respective leagues:
