Philadelphia was the other team facing a sweep in Game 4 of their series. And while the beginning of their comeback was quite as auspicious as Detroit's 7-1 thumping of the Sharks, their 5-4 OT result still counts as a win and two more wins later, they find themselves with a shot of actually completing Mission: Impossible.
The last team to come back from a 3-0 series deficit was the New York Islanders in 1975. A win Friday in Boston would make the Flyers the first team in 35 years and the third in history to achieve the miraculous feat. Gees, I wish I was talking about the Wings right now. Anyway...
Stay tuned, for an all-new Stanley Cup Final.
That's right. The 2x defending Western Conference Champs --our Detroit Red Wings -- were joined last night by their mirroring rivals of the East, the Penguins. The Montreal Canadiens continue to shock the hockey world. 14 games, 28 nights, 1 Presidents Trophy winner, 1 Stanley Cup Champion. It's been quite a month for the Habs... and their fans.
Now, that's how you celebrate a Round 2 victory, right? A little looting, maybe a punch-on here and there and obviously a series of bonfires throughout the streets. God help us all if they actually win the Cup. One question remains for me though... is that guy's feet on fire??? Seriously. WTF?
I'll still be graphically covering the playoffs even though the Wings are out. I was hoping to change the graphics today but Boston had to go ahead and lose so we sit and patiently await the schedule for the Conference Finals. I'm so sick of looking at that damn SJS wins 4-1... UGH!
