It has definitely happened before.  I know off the top of my head Edmonton did it in 84/85 by beating LA in the first round 3-0, and Winnipeg in the 2nd round 4-0. 

Anything other than that I'll have to research, b/c thats all I can recall without looking it up.  But, it's definitely happened before.

Sources: Rangers star Sean Avery hospitalized

By JOHN DELLAPINA and LARRY McSHANE
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Wednesday, April 30th 2008, 10:45 AM

Rangers bad boy Sean Avery, unconscious and not breathing, was rushed to a Manhattan hospital Wednesday morning in cardiac arrest just hours after his team's playoff loss, sources said.

Avery, 28, arrived at St. Vincent's Medical Center about 3 a.m., according to the hospital source. The Rangers had just lost 5-3 a short time earlier in the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden.

Avery, traded to the Rangers last year from Los Angeles, lives in Manhattan. The single winger is known for dating a bevy of celebrities, including Rachel Hunter and Elisha Cuthbert.

In March, the Daily News revealed that Avery's name and private cell phone number were in a huge client database for a Manhattan prostitution ring. He was listed as a $500 client of brothel Maison de L'Amour, although he adamantly denied using the hooker service.

There was no immediate word on what happened to Avery before he was taken to the hospital.

A source close to the team confirmed Avery had been rushed to the hospital, but declined to offer any specifics.

Avery played in last night's game and picked up an assist on the Rangers' second goal.

One round earlier in the playoffs, Avery drove Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur crazy with his antics - to the point that the Devil refused to shake Avery's hand when the series ended.

Off topic, but, in researching I realized the Islanders have not won a playoff series since 1993!

OUCH!!!!!

What kind of journalism is this? 

They open with the story, and leave you hanging that Avery could actually die, and then one paragraph later go into his sex life and his involvement in a prostitution ring! 




I do not like Avery, but I sure as hell hope he is ok

Didn’t the Islanders come back from a 0-3 series?  They did it twice in the same playoffs and the second comeback series they lost in game 7.

Which season are you referring to?  I don't think they ever made 2 0-3 series' 3-3.  In 87 they were down 3-1 to washington and won the series with game 7 going 4 OT's, but they werent down 3-0.

Avery is out for the Playoffs, the doctors have stated that it is a lacerated spleen.

He is expected to make a recovery.

Tough time for a free agent!

ESPN has the same article, but cut out all the shit about Avery's sex life.  None of that crap matters in a situation like this.  Very disappointed in that above article

Big cover up! He had a drug overdose.  Very simple to see that.

1975 the Isles beat the Pens in 7, then lost to Philly in 7.  Maybe that's the year

How can you determine that?

Spleen injuries do happen in contact sports.  Happened to Chris Simms a few years back.

This is what I hear. When you have a lacerated spleen, the flow of blood to your heart diminishes. After the game, when he went to bed, his heart stop do to the flow of blood. Make any sense?

 

Makes sense of why he played so terrible!

I guess, but I'm not one to jump to conclusions.

The question I have. Who noticed or found him at 2-3am? Sounds fishy to me.

Thats what I was saying in the other thread.  He's very very lucky to have someone notice his heart stopped.  If he was alone in bed, he could have easily died.  My guess is that the trainer knew he was injured and was checking in on him occasionally.  Although that fact does give your conspiracy theory some validity

I hope the drug theory isn’t true. But the potential is there.

I will be starting the chants of “Re-sign Avery” in the Garden

The team also denied a published report in the New York Daily News -- which first reported Avery's hospitalization -- that the forward had been taken to a Manhattan hospital while unconscious and in cardiac arrest.

The Rangers said Avery was admitted to St. Vincent's Medical Center following a CT scan and is expected to make a full recovery. Avery walked into the medical facility with team doctor Andrew Feldman, and the two took a car to the hospital, not an emergency vehicle, the team said.

"Down three games to none in the best-of-seven series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Islanders rallied to win the next four and take the series."
 
note: the Islanders went on to build a dynasty while my Pennies pretty much struggled for the next decade
