They call it the ‘Miracle on Manchester,’ an upset so incomprehensible it will surely never be repeated.

In the spring of 1982, Los Angeles entered into its first round playoff matchup as a huge underdog against powerhouse Edmonton. The Kings (24-41-15, 63 points) had 48 fewer points in the regular season than the Oilers (48-17-15, 111 points) and Edmonton featured the NHL scoring leader in a young Wayne Gretzky, who had eviscerated the league for 92 goals and 212 points that year.

But the plucky Kings came to play, which was no more evident than in Game 3, when the purple-and-gold erased a 5-0 third period deficit to win 6-5 in overtime and, two games later, captured the best-of-five series.
