THREE
Posted at April 30, 2008 by Ian Cerveny
Two teams in the history of the NHL have come back from down 3-0 in a best-of-seven to win the series.
1942 Toronto Maple Leafs come back to beat the Detroit Red Wings after falling behind 3-0 in the series.
Thirty three years later…
1975 New York Islanders come back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, finishing the job on April 26th.
Thirty Three years and three days later…
2008 Colorado Avalanche are down 3-0 with a chance to become the third team in NHL history to mount the seemingly unsurmountable comeback.
Start thinking in threes.
