SwampD Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Game 6 of the WCF's and I hear crickets in this thread, anybody watching? yep. Hossa is a really good hockey player. I never realized just how good he was, and fast. HowTF did he miss that wraparound?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) This series is the first time I've really watched Hossa play. He's a much more complete player then I ever remember him being with the Thrashers and the Pens. Anyone know what the hell Crawford was thinking on that wrap around chance?? Oduya might have just saved their season on that pk Edited May 31, 2014 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 These two teams are too good for this series not to go to seven. Hockey deserves a game seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Amerk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Kaner with 7 points in last 2 games. What a bad time for the Kings to allow him to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I could watch these two teams play 70 games. Short of a herculean performance by Lundqvist (obviously possible), the West is winning the Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I could watch these two teams play 70 games. Short of a herculean performance by Lundqvist (obviously possible), the West is winning the Cup. Absolutely. After some really spirited games between Habs- Bruins and then these two goliaths battling it out.... I find myself not really caring about the finals. Lundy is capable, but the Rangers are just nowhere near the level of talent and momentum as either Chi or LA. Cross coastal travel would be tough on them too, if it's the Kings. I can't wait for this western game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Games like these last two LA-Chicago games are why I love playoff hockey, and why hockey has become, in the last few years, my favorite team sport to watch. Chicago is not going quietly into that good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trettioåtta Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Kings are only the third team to play 21/21 games. The previous two teams both lost in the third game 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Statistics are not in favor of the Blackhawks. I read at NHL.com that when a team goes 1-3 in a best of 7 series, only about 8% of the time do those teams rally to win. More than 10 to 1 odds against the Hawks beating the Kings tomorrow.

Jsixspd Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Here's the webpage - it's all black and white NOTE: TEAMS HAVE TRAILED 3-1 IN A BEST-OF-SEVEN SERIES A TOTAL OF 229 TIMES AND HAVE COME BACK TO WIN THE SERIES ON 20 OCCASIONS OR 8.7% OF THE TIME. http://www.nhl.com/i...ge.htm?id=31154 In all the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, in 229 instances, teams have trailed a best of 7 series 3 games to 1. And of those, only 20 times has a team rallyed and come back to win, or 8.7 out of 100 times Therefore the odds are 100/8,7 = 11.5 to 1 against the Blackhawks winning tomorrow's game. And since it's only happened 20 times before, AND, the Rangers did so already this season (they trailed the Pens 3 to 1), that makes it unlikely that two improbable occurrences will happen in the same season. I think it makes it even more unlikely the Blackhawks can overcome the metrics that are against them. Chicago should have me as a motivational speaker, I'd love to get em fired up with all these discouraging numbers.

And even then, it's highly debatable whether the correct stat would simply be record of the home team in game seven.
