Top 3 Biggest Series Comebacks in History

3. 1975 Islanders vs Penguins: The Penguins had a 3 games-to-none lead over the New York Islanders in the 1975 Quarterfinals, when the resilient Islanders began to fight back. Not only did they merely fight back, they never even trailed from Game 4 through Game 7, and completely turned the series around.
2. 2010 Flyers vs Bruins: The Bruins held a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and were poised to take the series in a sweep, but the Flyers would have none of that, scoring in Overtime at home in Game 4. They took the series to a Game 7, but found themselves trailing by 3 goals early on. They bounced back and won the game, 4-3, stunning the Boston fans, and eventually making the Cup Finals.
1. 1942 Maple Leafs vs Red Wings: This 3-0 comeback came back in 1942, in none other than the Stanley Cup Finals between the Red Wings and Maple Leafs. This was also the first Stanley Cup Final to go 7 games. After dropping the first 3, the Leafs battled back, winning a close one 4-3, then routing the Wings 9-3. They would then allow only one goal for the remainder of the series, and won 3-0 and 3-1 to take the Cup to Toronto, capping the greatest Playoff Comeback of all time.

Predictions for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals

The Kings will win 4-3 in Overtime. Goals scored by Kopitar (2), Brown, and King for LA, and Henrique, Kovalchuk, and Parise for NJ. King with the game winner.

Playoff Moment of the Day: Gretzky's Pass

HE LED HIM WITH THE PUCK!

Wayne Gretzky

Wayne Gretzky was the greatest hockey player ever not because he had the hardest shot, or because he was the best skater, or faster than everybody else. He was the best player because of his passing ability and his ability to see the ice. He was always 3 or more steps ahead of everybody else and it allowed him to make plays that nobody else could make. The playoff moment of the day shows the most amazing pass I have ever seen. A behind the back pass in which he LED COFFEY with the puck. INCREDIBLE. It takes insane amounts of skill to know first of all where Coffey was. and second to know WHERE HE WAS GOING TO BE! He passed to where people were going to be, not to where they were. This combination of vision and passing skill is what made Wayne the Greatest.

Top 5 Greatest NHL Rivalries

5. Pittsburgh Penguins/Washington Capitals: This rivalry has always been Crosby vs Ovechkin. In this regard, Washington has the upper hand in terms of skill. But on the other hand, the Pens have won a Cup, in a year in which they defeated Washington in 7 games to advance.
4. Pittsburgh Penguins/Philadelphia Flyers: This rivalry gets so heated mainly due to the raunchiness of the Flyers fans, who love to start fights, throw things, etc. But the battle of Pennsylvania doesn't stop with that, oh no. These are two great teams that fight for pride and glory every time they step on the ice against each other, and this year's playoff series showed the skill and toughness of each team. Upper-hand goes to Philly, due to their recent pounding of the Penguins.
3.Chicago Blackhawks/Detroit Redwings: This rivalry is as old as time itself. The "Detroit Sucks!" chants can be heard throughout the rafters of the United Center and the Redwings aren't too fond of the Hawks, either. The proximity of the two teams allows for a great rivalry, in which the Redwings have had the upper hand in, but recently have not.
2. Toronto Maple Leafs/Montreal Canadiens: The two hockey capitals of the world collide all the team for Canadian bragging rights and for pride, glory, and of course, 2 points in the standings (or a series lead). These two teams hate each other, because of their long history and fantastic players, this rivalry extends back for a long time. The Canadiens have the upper-hand in this rivalry, but recently neither team has been very dominant.
1. Chicago Blackhawks/Vancouver Canucks: This rivalry has it all: a playoff history, big moments, player rivalries you name it, it's got it. Alex Burrows is HATED by every Blackhawks fan, just as Kane is loathed by the Canucks. Luongo is a joke to Hawks fans, while Crawford can give the Canucks nightmares when his game is on. When the heat is on, the Hawks have the upper hand in this rivalry.
