Only two teams have come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series: The 1975 New York Islanders rallied to beat Pittsburgh in the quarterfinals, and the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs came back to beat Detroit in the Stanley Cup finals.

The Red Wings are not as good of a team as their record might indicate.\n\nPlace any team who was close to the playoffs, place them in the Northwest division with Columbus, St. Louis and Chicago.  This year, Detroit was able to get 21 wins from these three teams.  Out of 24 games played against them, they won 21.  That's an amazing division.  Not very hard to win when you play these teams.\n\nThe Oilers are a much better team than Detroit is.

Well, everybody knows they're Detroit Red Wing history now.  I'd also like to add that during the playoffs, Detroit suspends a huge octopus from the rafters named "AL the Octopus".  Although, all the posts on here about it starting back in 1952 are 100% correct.  but nowadays many people convert the resemblence of the eight tentacles to represent the eight teams from each conference to make the playoffs, which is false.  Also, I know for a fact, in Detroit, I've never seen a penalty assesed for the throwing of octopus or hats for that matter.  although when it is thrown, it's usually during a stopage of play.  But we all love to see it.  It pumps us up.  Go Wings

Monteal was the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. They did it in 1993.

Well, Moon, as it's still only the first round, it is far too early to tell. That said, I do like what's been happening so far. As correctly predicted here, the loathsome fat-cat red wings of dread detroit -- the #1 seed in the playoffs -- were unceremoniously dumped by the underdog Edmonton Oilers last night in six games! WOOHOO!!! Also, over the weekend, the Colorado Avalanche took out the hated dallas stars, another favourite, so again: WOOHOO!!!\n\nWhen my glorious Buffalo Sabres remove the utterly hateful philistinia floaters tonight (or Thursday night, either way, they go), the happiness trifecta will be complete and my three most hated NHL teams will have been eliminated in one fell swoop (I'll save that last WOOHOO!!! for later, lol). I love nothing more than to revel in the victory of the good and triumph in the defeat and abject humiliation of the evil -- and this applies to EVERYTHING! :)\n\nBut I digress... One reason these could be the greatest Stanley Cup playoffs of all time is that we missed out on ANY hockey all of last year because of the NHL lockout. Hockey came back in its full raiment of glory this season with rules changes which have directly correlated with a vastly improved on-ice product. Hockey has never been so good! Another reason -- indeed, THE reason! -- this could be the greatest playoffs ever is that my Sabres are so awesomely talented that they could conceivably go all the way and WIN Lord Stanley's Cup! Were that to happen -- and it's far too early to say now -- I would die and go to heaven on the spot! (OK, not literally... I don't even believe in heaven.) ;)\n\nAs for my expectations, well, I'm quietly confident my Sabres will continue to advance after defeating those despicable goon flyers tonight in their hellhole home in philistinia (Can ya tell I hate that godforsaken place and their truly horrible people?). But can they go all the way? In the East, where my Sabres play, Ottawa and New Jersey will be tough opponents and they may have to defeat both to continue (Carolina is struggling badly with Montreal and I'm not worried about facing either of them). If they can get out of the conference, I like their chances in the Cup Final, no matter who they face from the West. But again, all that is a long way away...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! :)

You may laugh but I think the stars aer getting to old to play playoff hockey and the youngsters aren't stepping up when they need to.  It is a long season.  It takes a toll on everyone, but especially the older guys.  For all that talent, the last couple seasons haven't been kind to Detroit in the playoffs.

It had to be San Jose. I think they needed to resolve their goaltending problem (2 sterter-level goalies signed long-term) before that series started. If anything, they learned a lesson about relying too much on your top line. San Jose has the best top line in the NHL, but it wasn't enough. Detroit spent the year in a VERY weak division, so when the heat turned up, they melted. San Jose was battle-tested, and failed. That's more eye-opening to me.

The Montreal Canadiens will bring back the Cup where it belongs in Montreal, Canada after 13 long years. GO HABS GO.

I agree with both parts of your statement.  I am not upset that the wings are out and hope that Ottawa wins it all.  I predicted, against many vocal opponents on here, that Detroit would get upset and that NY Rangers wouldn't get past the first round.  Nobody believed me.  Detroit had an extremely easy division to play in and I thought they would have trouble winning a more difficult series.  (against any team with a record over .500)

I have.  June 7, 2004.  Tampa Bay Lightning and Calgary Flames.  It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  Through the New York Islanders, The Montreal Canadiens, The Philadelphia Flyers, numerous injuries, right up to game 7, and more people that didn't believe, than I could count, still we won it.  On the way to game 7 of the Final, I saw a liscense plate, and it said "WIL2WIN" on it.  That was something I will never forget, I knew we were going to win it, no matter what, and seeing my boys lift the historic cup over thier heads, still brings tears to my eyes.
