From Talking Points:
This story from the Minneapolis Star Tribune is two years old, but nothing has changed. The 1975 Islanders are still the most recent team to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series, a team that included Hurricanes scout Bert Marshall.
"I know it's cliché, but you really do have to come together where everybody's on the same page, you believe and you take it shift to shift and do the little things to get through the first period, then the second," said (Denis) Potvin, a Hall of Fame defenseman. "If you win that fourth game, you've got something going, but it's tough because it's so much easier just to give up."
The Hurricanes face that deficit tonight, and here's guessing that they'll still be alive tomorrow. While it's extremely unlikely they'll even make it to a Game 7, this team has a history of fighting to the last.
