The Montreal Canadiens will play Game 5 in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals this evening, and are on a challenging mission to become only the 5th team in history to come back to win a series in which they were 0-3.
Can they do it?
The eternal optimist in me says “why not?” After all, records were meant to be broken, history happens all the time. Of course it’s a challenge – but it wouldn’t be playoffs if it were easy to do.
Fun Factoid: Of the 4 times in which a 0-3 deficit has been overcome, it’s happened twice in the past 5 years (2010, and 2014).
