Did we just witness the greatest playoff comeback in Minnesota sports history?

A trio of Wild Game 7 comebacks: The Wild have won three Game 7s in their franchise history, accounting for three of the four times they have won a playoff series. In the 2003 playoffs, they stunned Colorado by scoring the tying goal with less than five minutes left in regulation before Andrew Brunette’s game-winner in overtime of Game 7. In the next round, they were down 2-0 to host Vancouver in Game 7 before storming back to win 4-2 (including three goals in the third). And in the 2014 playoffs they scored the tying goal with 2:27 left in regulation before winning 5-4 in overtime of Game 7.

All three wins were tremendous, but none of the comebacks were as difficult as what we saw Thursday.

1987 World Series Game 6: The Twins were down 3-2 in the series and 5-2 entering the bottom of the fifth inning of a win-or-go-home Game 6 against the Cardinals in the 1987 World Series. But they erupted for four runs in each of their next two times up — a Don Baylor three-run homer and a Kent Hrbek grand slam were the big hits — to win 11-5 before following up with a Game 7 win and their first championship.

In terms of the most improbable sustained comeback with the highest stakes? The Lynx on Thursday just might have grabbed hold of the top spot in Minnesota pro sports history.
