History of reverse sweeps in the Stanley cups finals?

Question

I tought the habs being 0-3 in the stanley cups finals would make every sport news site in Montreal dig up every time a stanley cup reverse sweep happened to show there is still hope; but nobody seem to have done so.
So, historically speaking, what teams did complete a reverse sweep (wining 4 in a row when down 0-3 in a series)?

Philip Kendall · Accepted Answer

The list of comebacks from 0-3 down in NHL playoffs (entirely, not just the Stanley Cup finals) is very short:

1942 Stanley Cup Finals (Leafs over Red Wings)
1975 quarterfinals (Islanders over Penguins)
2010 conference semifinals (Flyers over Bruins)
2014 first round (Kings over Sharks)

The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team in the NHL history to make a comeback after being down 3-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals series. All other reverse sweeps were made in the first 3 rounds.
