Back then, Detroit took the lead 3-0 over the Toronto Maple Leafs, only to see the Leafs winning 4 straigth game to win the Stanley Cup.
Now, the Florida Panthers are in a similar situation against the Edmonton Oilers. After gaining an advance of 3-0 in the series, the Panthers looked like it was all done for the Stanley Cup. However, the Oilers have made an impressive comeback since then, winning three straight games to force a Game 7.
If the Oilers win Game 7, the Panthers will share the same fate as the 1942 Red Wings, becoming another team to lose a series after leading 3-0.
As hockey history is probably about to be written, this Game 7 promises to be an high intensity one and a chance for Edmonton to do the same legendary comeback as the Maple Leafs from 1942.
