Hockey equivalent to Barcelona vs PSG

[PeterForsberg]

What's the hockey equivalent to the comeback Barcelona had against PSG 6-5 aggregate. Barca had to score 6 goals to win.

Not comparable, no NHL series has been decided because of a dive as egregious as Luis Suarez's.

Nothing comparable. It was historic. Plus two leg dynamic

 

[Romang67]

Flyers trailing Boston 0-3 in games, and 0-3 in game 7.

 

[TT1]

Is that a PS4 game?

 

[Niet]

Miracle on Manchester comes to mind. Oilers up 5-0 in the final game of the series going into the third and lose 6-5.

Can't really give a fair comparison because of how unique the setup of the UCL playoff format is, and how different it is than a 7 game playoff series or just one playoff game.

At one point in the 2nd half it was 3-0, and if Barca scored next the entire matchup would be tied....while at the same time if PSG scored next Barca would essentially be down 3 goals. That's INSANE.

PSG ended up scoring, and what is even more mind boggling is that Barca waited till the 88th minute to get their 3 goal spree underway. Unfathomable.

I can't think of anything in NHL playoff format that would compare.

This was truly one of the most incredible comebacks in sports history.

Right up there with the greatest NHL/hockey comebacks ever. But not really comparable in style IMO because of the unique set of circumstances surrounding the game today.

Sweden-Finland 6-5 2003.

Football (or as you call it; soccer) sucks, look at that diving by Suarez that led to the second (!) penalty shot late in the game.

NHL comparable should be one of the few series in the playoffs that was 0-3 and won.

2014-2015 Ottawa Senators season where they had 1% chance to make the playoffs in mid february and then made the playoffs

Yeah because questionable penalty calls dont ever happen in the nhl. Or offsides reviews that are clear still dont get corrected. The whole #mysportisbetter trope is always so tired and not the point of this thread.

This times 10000000x

I watched this game today in a packed sports bar that time suddenly stopped in when Barca went on their run.

Grown men crying tears of happiness, everybody high giving each other. It was an epic moment and I am glad to say I was hungry in the after noon today for a solid beef sandwich

 

[illpucks]

exactly this

Crosby crying or Marchand diving

Idk

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

As usual regarding Barca in the UCL, huge assist to the refs for 2 penalties and 10min extra time.

Toronto losing a game 7 of a series in OT that they were winning 3-1 going into the third period.

 

[theaub]

Well, first off it needs to be an elimination game, because the winner moves on/loser goes home is the whole joy of this situation really (if it was the first leg it would've just been a hilarious blowout).

The away goals rule is tough to focus on here, as is the nature of the two legged playoff in the first place, so I'll just focus on the ending. Team at home needs three late goals to win. Team at home scores three late goals to win. And hey, its the quarterfinals of their respective tournaments as well. And thus, we get ol' dependable:

 

[Karl Eriksson]

There was a game years back that went to triple OT in the playoffs, and the teams had to order fruit trays at the intermission to fuel themselves.

Given the orange slices involved, that was most like soccer.

 

[Duffalufagus]

Bruins 3rd period comeback against the Make Believes. The YouTube clips of the Toronto fans watching that epic collapse will echo into eternity.

Edit: got beat to it!

 

[aemoreira1981]

Flyers trailing Boston 0-3 in games, and 0-3 in game 7.

That's easily my vote for that. How the loss of David Krejci changed that series.

 

[Agent Zub]

**** old time hockey is so painful to watch.

You don't watch a lot of football (soccer), do you? Because you just compared penalty shots (with a 80% convert rate, ish) to offside calls. Nice contribution to the thread btw.

You must be new to hockey. Penalties have ruined many NHL games, including playoff ones.

How many soccer games have an outcome of a late penalty kick due to diving per season? I know in the EPL the answer would be maybe one, if even that?
