With North Stars down 3-0 to Bruins, it’s all about belief
Only twice in the last 40 years has a team in the National Hockey League come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win.
In junior hockey, however, it’s a different story, which is good news for the Battlefords North Stars, who are in that very position: down 3-0 in their best-of-seven series to the Estevan Bruins after their 5-2 loss on Monday night in game three.
Three teams at the major junior level came from 3-0 deficits in just a four-year span from 2010-13. First the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League in 2010, then the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 2012, and then the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League in 2013.
