Only 12 teams in NHL history have lost the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final on home ice. Of those teams, only two successfully rallied to win the championship: [1]
- 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs: Overcame a 0-3 series deficit entirely to defeat the Detroit Red Wings.
- 1966 Montreal Canadiens: Rebounded to win four straight games and defeat the Detroit Red Wings in six games.
Carolina finally scores tonight. Stankoven. 2-1, Vegas, 9:40 to go in the 3rd.
Looked like the puck crossed the line before the whistle sounded, but I suspect B1G level officiating
Carolina takes the lead! Power play goal, Staal. 3-2, Carolina, four minutes to go in the 3rd.
Vegas pulls the goalie and ties it with 1:21 to go. Stone puts in. Wow. This is good stuff.
I’m not sure Stone gets the goal. I think it ends up being the original shooter … from the grassy knoll
The NHL “executive” interviewed during the intermission represents what’s wrong with hockey.
Carolina wins in overtime! Power play goal by Seth Jarvis. 4-3, final.
Series is tied 1-1.

Dang, wish I could stay up for these games. They look a little excited in Raleigh! Going there this weekend.
