How do the Blackhawks rally from a 3-0 series deficit? Michael Leighton explains

The celebration is something goaltender Michael Leighton will never forget.

As Blackhawks fans know, the Philadelphia Flyers didn’t win the Stanley Cup in 2010. But what they did during those Stanley Cup playoffs was impressive in itself. They became the third team in NHL history — a fourth has since done it — to rally from a 3-0 series deficit in a seven-game series.

The Flyers dropped the first three games of their second-round series to the Boston Bruins and fought back to win the next four, including a Game 7 in which they trailed 3-0 in the first period and won 4-3.
