OK, Who Was the NHL Team That Trailed a Playoff Series 3-0
and came back to win? I seem to remember it was the Detroit Red Wings.

Anyone know? It seems relevant for some reason.

2. I wanna say Toronto like back in the 40's
I think it has happened twice in hockey, never in another sport.

3. The Islanders did it to the Penguins in...76, I believe
Or 77. I was three. And the Pens are my team. We try not to talk about it.

5. Actually the 1942 Toronto maple leafs rallied
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 11:48 PM by drdtroit
from a 3 games to none disadvantage against my beloved Red Wings. They won the cup in 4 straight.

The only other NHL team to come back from a 3-0 deficit was the 1975 Islanders aginst Pittsburgh in the 2nd round which they won in 7. Then in the semi-finals against Philly they came back from 3-0 to tie but the Flyers prevailed.

Last team to come back from 3-1. 2000 New Jersey Devils against Philadelphia in the conference finals (Devils won the cup that year).

Peace Out

6. Vancouver Canucks
Vrs St Louis not more than two years ago - I was at the first game they won - it ruled.

UNless you mean specifically in the final

7. The answer...
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 11:45 PM by Hokies_Against_Bush
1942- the Toronto Maple Leafs came back from 0-3 to beat the Detroit Redwings 4-3

1975- the NY Islanders came back from 0-3 to defeat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3

It has never happened in baseball or basketball.

9. I knew it was the Isles
Couldn't remember the year. Penquin fans don't talk about anything prior to 1984.
