How many times have teams from the same arena in the same year played in both the Stanley Cup Finals and NBA Finals?

Name as many as you can.

Well, obviously this year. Also, I can think of the Rangers and Knicks in 1994 off the top of my head.

Nope. The Pens beat the Hawks in four straight that year.

Funny, b/c I originally put except '92. I thought it said they swept. I quickly realized it was the oppisite and switched it within seconds.
