I'm not sure if anything will ever top the storylines in games 6 and 7. Those were just too good to be true.

In terms of the actual play on the ice - this series is better than Chi/Van, but in terms of the storylines/impact if Van lost, then Geddy is right. Chicago winning Game 7, especially after the Toews shorty with 2 minutes left might have ended hockey in Vancouver. 72o would still be drunk.

I forgot to put 2012. Not an emotional hedge either. Gonna suck so much if the sharks fail and I have to read and respond to my comeuppance, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate this series for what it is

If you could make a .gif that was the opposite of the GeddyFistpump.gif, I'd post it here.

And I realize that's not all that uncommon when you look at how sparse it's been in the other sports, but you've gotta go back a long time before last year's Bruins-Flyers series to find a forced game 7 after a 3-0 blown lead.

The closest thing I can remember is when the Sharks forced a game 6 against the Stars in '08, and lost in Quad OT when Brenden Morrow scored. The Avs had a brief comeback against the Sharks in the '04 2nd round, when Joe Sakic scored back-to-back OT winners in games 4 and 5 to force a game 6 that they lost. I can't remember the last time since the Flyers last year that there was a game 7 after a 3-0 blown lead...it very well could've been the '75 Islanders-Penguins series.

They showed a stat on FSD for all the 3-0 series leads that came to a game 7. I think there were only 6 in history prior to this.

Definitely up there, but I'm sure there have been better. It's hard to gauge unless you're really emotionally involved but I can remember several WANGZ series that could compare vs COL/STL/ANA/PITT

Former captain Doug Wilson is simply an architect of excellence whether hes pulling off great trades to land future hall of famers like jumbo joe or drafting superstars like Logan Couture. Were all really truly blessed to witness a top notch organization.

Sharks are firing from all cylinders and from everywhere in the lineup, even calling up people to rape the redwings. there are just so many good matchups on the ice for the sharks which is the benefit of having a deep roster stocked full of talent. The only way really the sharks can lose really is if they beat themselves with undisciplined penalties but this team is to physically and mentally tough to do that, to much veteran leadership.

the sharks dominated every facet of the game yesterday, and when you factor in niemis performance yesterday it makes sharks fans minds at ease in this pre season tune up for the nucks next round.

just cause

Well...sure. I was speaking to the general baffling trend of homers to celebrate before the series is won. And if it did happen last year as opposed to 50 years ago you'd think people would have firsthand experience of someone getting owned doing it.

Anyway, need to fix the thread title.

I haven't yet found a sortable database that will let me work out how many 3–0 series have gone to game 7, but I did find an answer on wikianswers (lol, I know, but it might be right) to the effect that in the NHL it has been done seven times (including the three in which the team that was down came back to win the series). Notably, one of the teams that came back from 3–0 only to lose in game 7 was the '75 Islanders, against the Flyers — yes, the same '75 Islanders that had just pulled the comeback from three down in their previous series against the Penguins.

Sportscenter had it at 8, which I am guessing includes this series, so wikianswers was right.

I know there are .jpgs floating around 2p2 of the opposite. I've had some dark days that I've shared with the good people here.

Ah, right on. Thanks.

Edit: And I see Gus has bumped up the number to 8, via SC. Thanks again.
