Hopefully the Kings can close it out Friday. If not, look out!
What a game! It was great to see my Kings close it out and win the cup for the 2nd time in 3 years. Hats off to king Henrik for a terrific series. He kept the Rangers in each and every game.
Yeah such a crazy game. The Kings were definitely the team of destiny this year after coming back from being down 0-3 games in that early series. I think the goalie should have gotten the MVP though!
how often does that happen in hockey? sounds like more often than in basketball.. i don't think any team in the nBA has come back from 0-3.
It has happened 3 times in the playoffs in the NHL. Once during the Stanley Cup Final.
Toronto came back from 3-0 down in the 1942 SCF against Detroit. In 1975 the New York Islander came back from being 3-0 down against Pittsburgh in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Lastly, The Philadelphia Flyers came back from being down 3-0 to the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Conference Finals.
You gotta feel sorry to the Rangers. Losing 3 games in OT that could have very easily gone the other way. That is gonna sting for a while.
Congrats to the Kings though, 2 cups in 3 years is damn impressive! Gonna be front runners again next year.
