It’s also happened in baseball in 2004 with the Boston Red Sox coming back to beat the New York Yankees.
“Obviously, for us right now it’s nothing to lose, right? So, we just have to go out there and play. Don’t think about the score in the series. We’re going to take it game by game… We belive in ourselves,” said Ovechkin.
