No team wants to be down 0-2 in any series, especially the Stanley Cup Final. However, the Philadelphia Flyers can at least say they’ve been there and done that.
The Flyers were down 0-3 to the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifinals and battled back to win four straight games and advance to the conference championship, eventually knocking off the Montreal Canadiens.
"It's not the way we wanted to start the series," captain Mike Richards told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "but we're going home, and we've played well there."
