WAS 6 VAN 5 (SO)

Vancouver led 5-1 at one point, gave up 4 unanswered then lost in the shootout.

SJS 4 WAS 5 (OT)

San Jose jumped out a 3-0 lead. They scored an ENG to make it 4-2. Gave up 2 goals in the last 60 seconds to make it 4-4, lost in OT.

WAS 6 NYI 4

NYI leads 4-1 heading into the third. Caps score 5 goals, including an ENG to win in regulation 6-4.

Three amazing comebacks, I wish my team had a comeback even close to this this season. Instead on the losing end of one of these

Good poll OP, I chose the Canucks one

All their own special brand of pain. I might lean the one in regulation but giving up two goals after scoring an empty netter and choking in OT was the San Jose Sharks at a molecular level.

The Canucks giving up 4 unanswered goals to blow a 5-1 lead was by far the funniest.

SJ comeback for me too. But they've all been impressive.

Funny, though anything is possible and these wins prove it, a person may watch every single beatdown going forward (where your team is losing by 3 or 4), and never see such a comeback again. The odds are against these things that's for sure.

It's gotta be the SJ game... the others were pretty bad considering the leads they had, but sj got the insurance empty net goal, and then proceeded to give up 2 and then lose it in ot.

The sharks. That was reminiscent of the Oilers collapse against Anaheim except all goals were actually legal in this game.

Isles. Other two teams arent good and it was sad the caps were down the way they were. Isles had caps circled on their calendars
