History of reverse sweeps in the Stanley cups finals?

Sports Asked on July 7, 2021

I tought the habs being 0-3 in the stanley cups finals would make every sport news site in Montreal dig up every time a stanley cup reverse sweep happened to show there is still hope; but nobody seem to have done so.

So, historically speaking, what teams did complete a reverse sweep (wining 4 in a row when down 0-3 in a series)?

The list of comebacks from 0-3 down in NHL playoffs (entirely, not just the Stanley Cup finals) is very short:

  • 1942 Stanley Cup Finals (Leafs over Red Wings)
  • 1975 quarterfinals (Islanders over Penguins)
  • 2010 conference semifinals (Flyers over Bruins)
  • 2014 first round (Kings over Sharks)

The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team in the NHL history to make a comeback after being down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals series. All other reverse sweeps were made in the first 3 rounds.
