All summer long, NHL Network will be replaying the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs -- from every jaw-dropping goal to every highlight-reel save to every crushing defeat.

Each game of the postseason -- spanning the more than two-month period from the opening round to Boston's Game 7 clincher of the Stanley Cup Final -- will be shown on the Network throughout the offseason.

Fans can tune in at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET nightly for a different game -- and different chance to re-live history. A complete program schedule can be found on NHLNetwork.com.

Playing from behind is never a recipe for a successful outing. Having to do so in the playoffs with the series on the line isn't an easier.

When the Nashville Predators and Vancouver Canucks met in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinal, the Preds faced that very challenge, but the deficit was at two. Mason Raymond and Daniel Sedin scored twice within a two-minute span in the first period.

While David Legwand cashed in in the second period to give the Predators life, they couldn't get any more pucks behind a solid Roberto Luongo, who stopped 23 of 24 shots, in what eventually became a 2-1 win.

With the win, the Canucks advanced to the Western Conference Final for the chance at a run for Lord Stanley's Cup.

For the Preds, the loss marked the end of the road in what was a memorable season for fans and players, alike.
