It's happened twice before in hockey, and once in baseball; a comeback from 3 games down in the playoffs. The New York Rangers are in the hole, and need to play better than they have played all year to comeback and win this series. But it doesn't look likely. Henrik Lundqvist gave up 5 goals in only 17 shots last night, and has given up 12 goals in the three games so far. He is the reason the Rangers are down in this series. In game 1, the Rangers had a 3-0 lead, but the goalie blew it. Game 2 was a nice win for the Penguins, but last night was another stinker for Henrik. Twice he gave up 2 goals in a short amount of time after the Rangers came back to tie it. If Lundqvist plays shutout hockey for the remainder of this series then they have got a shot, but that probably won't happen. But you never know. The sports gods might have a trick up their sleep.
