Who's blowing a 3-1 series lead?

[Summer Rose]

There seems to a series missing....Don't worry I'll cover it.





LA is not coming back.

Oops! I did miss that one. Thank you for pointing it out.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Pretty easy year to say none of them.

Every team that is down 3-1 has greatly deserved to be.

Canucks & Oilers are winning games getting 10 shots per game lol

With a little bit of luck LA could have won that game last night. But when you're playing against the best player in the world you have to work just a little bit harder.

Boston, Toronto has them right where they want them

Yea they outshot Edmonton by 3X lol

They can do that since they have substantially more offensive talent than their opponents. Tale as old as time.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Islanders.

No slight to the Canes but they have all been low scoring games which means a crazy bounce here or soft goal there can have a massive impact in the series.

The Oilers won a game (singular) but are otherwise still near the top of the league for shots (3rd), scoring chances (5th), and high danger chances (3rd).

 

[The Great Weal]

You'd think the Preds given how the Canucks are playing their 3rd string goalie and Pettersson is playing like crap, but I just don't think they get over that choke job from yesterday. Josi and ROR have done nothing offensively.

I find it hard to believe anyone even wins game 5. Usually you feel sort of good about someone, here I do not. I think Tampa/Winnipeg are the 2 I feel could win game 5

 

[DitchMarner]

I have a feeling one team trailing 3-1 will come back and win or two will at most.

I'd say...

Put a fork in them:

WPG
NYI
LA
TOR
TB


That leaves us with NSH. They've played the best out of all these teams (with the possible exception of NYI). I say they come back and win in seven. If not, I say TB pulls off the comeback of the century.

No one is blowing a lead. This year's first round was pretty easy to figure out with the only toss up being Dallas-Vegas.

It's the 2nd round on where it will get fun because now it turns into a bloodbath on each side.

 

[tfwnogf]

I predicted Boston last year and got it right, so here we go: Preds, you will do it. Redemption for last night.

 

[snag]

Anything can happen but I think all are unlikely.
LA and Nashville really should be tied in the series but it’s hard to see either of them coming back given their offensive struggles.

Canucks & Oilers are winning games getting 10 shots per game lol

Now, is that a statement against the Canucks and Oilers......or their opposition?

 

[Rowlet]

It should be Boston, but I'm still not sold on Vancouver yet, as a Canucks fan. Pretty sure they take the series but I'm not confident. LA could take a few more games but ultimately they'll end up losing.

It depends if Nashville is fired up or completely deflated after losing 2 at home. Now that the series is back in Vancouver, the Canucks can go back to line matching Lindholm to ROR which worked out very well in the first two games. You've gotta believe the Canucks are going to be fired up too, the team desperately wants to avoid another 10 hours of flying.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Vancouver actually played a very structured, controlled game in both games 1 and 2. Difficult to know what to make of game 3 as they were happy to sit on a lead. Last night was pretty awful, and yet they came out with a win.

The lack of scoring is the biggest concern for game 5. I have faith in the goaltending options available, and defensively they’re playing very well.

 

[Gnashville]

You'd think the Preds given how the Canucks are playing their 3rd string goalie and Pettersson is playing like crap, but I just don't think they get over that choke job from yesterday. Josi and ROR have done nothing offensively.

Predators should have just done the handshake line yesterday

 

[spcastlemagic]

Maple Leafs winning the next two sans Matthews only for Matthews to return game 7 where they are blanked in a blowout loss feels like the most Toronto thing possible, so I should probably place a bet or two tonight.

 

[winnipegger]

My heart says jets but my brain says jets

 

[DitchMarner]

My heart says jets but my brain says jets

You mean you think and feel they're the most likely to come from 3-1 down?

I don't see it. They looked awful in COL. They were severely outclassed. I think it's all but over.

 

[CornKicker]

the only thing i can say definitively is boston, toronto looked defeated already.....

well the kings are dead too they played their best game and couldnt even get a goal

 

[Adele Dazeem]

None
Most surprising is the Jets folding so easily to a less than perfect Avs

 

[JoeGarelli]

I think TB and FLA is intriguing with players coming back/injury.. I think 2010, When Philly beat boston down 0-3, bruins lost bergeron to injury, and flyers got gagne back. it was a huge turning point.. I dont know if Serghachev and bennet are comparable. one team loses an important player and one team gains an important player, its a different series.

Florida overall seems like a better team than those bruins.. They dont seem to let much bother them. They play like a team that went to a cup finals the year before.

 

[MikeK]

None this year.

 

[habamillions]

Don't see any if them. Nashville might have the best shot.
