But two Ducks veterans – captain Chris Pronger and defenseman Doug Weight – know first-hand what it’s like to buck those odds. Weight was a part of the 2006 Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes team that \dropped Games 1 and 2 at home in their conference quarterfinal matchup with Montreal before storming back and winning four straight.
“It was similar," said Weight, who was in the lineup for last Saturday’s Game 2 after being a healthy scratch in the opener. "Montreal came into our building that year and won 6-1 in the first game. We lost in (double) overtime (6-5) in the second, but we were really down quite a bit going into the third period. A number of the boys got together after the game, and we mentioned that we'd been through the year, been through some ups and downs, and this was no different. We're looking at the same thing here now."
