Do you mean for Kris Knoblauch or like for all coaches best performance you’ve seen? Not gonna challenge you on it because I don’t have an opinion on that, just curious as they are pretty different.
Has any team ever came back from 0-3 deficit in NHL history?

It's funny that 5/10 comebacks from 0-3 down to 3-3, and 2/4 completed reverse sweeps (potentially 3/5) actually happened since lockout.
Funny maybe but it makes sense. Salary cap brought much needed parity. You're never coming back from 0-3 against the 2001 Avalanche or 2002 Red Wings. Nowadays teams are so evenly matched that it's a lot more likely.

The Kings then won their first two games in round two against Anaheim on the road, before losing their next three, including two home games, before winning that series. In the next round, they almost blew a 3-1 lead against Chicago.
What a strange playoff run.

First time a team won two playoff rounds in the same year after losing three in a row in each. They also won three straight games where they trailed 2-0 between Game 7 of the Hawks series, and Games 1-2 of the Rangers series. Also a first. Not to mention 3 straight Game 7s on the road.
Y'all are being so disingenuous to that poster's comment. Just because you call it something doesn't make it true.
If the best players in your league need 2nd jobs to make ends meet, they aren't a professional. A professional is able to be full time dedicated to their craft. If your craft doesn't pay the bills, then there can't be professionals in that craft, only 'experts' and unfortunately in the 1940s, saying you want to be a professional hockey player was akin to saying you want to be a professional coin collector. You might get some side eyed looks and people telling you that you might also want to look into getting a professional job that pays the bills.

I posted this elsewhere but for my fellow NY people of the late 60s/early 70s---
The referee for that 1942 game 7 Cup final was Bill "The Big Whistle" Chadwick
It's a good thing the New York/Brooklyn Americans were still a thing in 1942 then.

You are wildly ignorant of what professional hockey players were paid back in the day. By your reasoning a lot of professional hockey players in the lower leagues and Europe today are not professional players.
Way back, many players made a full average household yearly income during the hockey season alone.. and then had a summer job more for something to do and/or promotion work than necessity. The stars were making several multiples of the average family income at most times.
I don't have all the figures at hand but this site appears to go into many of the details:

Even in the professional sport’s early years, star players could earn salaries that tripled what the average American worker earned. As earning potential

Interesting how in 2010 and 2011, three separate teams forced a game 7 after being down 3-0. Fun times in the NHL.

Exactly!
Lol. Sure it was. Besides, players had summer jobs.
That breaks down from the 60s and onward, poster clearly said before 1950. Most players in the league couldn’t afford to play just hockey alone before then, that is just a fact. After the war was over and more money came to the game in the 50s, that changed, but the argument he made is fair.You are wildly ignorant of what professional hockey players were paid back in the day.

I'm too old for this.
It was a horrifying sight to behold.
Bruins swept the Flyers the following year on the way to the Cup. It's the only reason I can even talk about the reverse sweep, lol.
Krejci dislocated his wrist in game three and the Bs fell to pieces.
