An NHL playoff history, only four teams have ever clawed back from a three-game to nothing deficit to win a Best of Seven Series. That elite club includes the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Final, the 1975 New York Islanders in the Basis quarterfinals, the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and the 2014 Los Angeles Kings in the first round. Out of two and eight such three-nothing holes since playoffs began, these squads stand alone by forcing and winning game seven. Toronto's Shock Detroit, despite the Wings Hot Start, Islanders stunned Pittsburgh with Goli Heroics, Flyers erased Boston's Lee twice over, and Kings outlasted San Jose on the road. Fans still buzz about these miracles because Playoff hockey demands total grit. Four wins to advance, and a three-nothing edge feels unbeatable.

Playoff stay unpredictable, so watch for history to echo as teams battle for that silver child as this spring.
