The Philadelphia Flyers pulled it off. From a 3 games to none deficit to a date with my Canadiens in the Eastern Final. The last NHL team to win a series after trailing 3-0 was the 1975 Islanders.
In the West it will be San Jose against Chicago.
The neat trivia is that in the West, it is the one seed and the two seed, while in the East it is the seven seed against the eight seed. What a playoff. Even Buck is amazed considering his Red Wings are out of it. IT IS THAT GOOD THIS YEAR!
I could not BELIEVE the B's blew a 3-0 lead and figgered out a way to lose that game last night. Which isn't taking anything away from the Flyers, of course. I just don't like those guys and I hope they get swept in the ECF (but realistically? Habs in six). My dislike has a lot to do with Chrissy Pronger, but it goes back further than that.
ReplyDeleteAll that said, I think your Habs are gonna be in for one hella fight in the Finals... and I don't think you're gonna like the outcome.
Camalleri and Havlak can only do so much.
