Series Discussion: PLOFFS ROUND UNO: [3]FLAMES vs. [2]CANUCKS OFFICIAL DISCUSSION

[Ace Rimmer]

Useless stat time!



According to NHL.com, teams have trailed 3-1 in a best of 7 series a total of 229 times, and have come back to win the series 8.7% of the time (20 total)

On these occasions, Vancouver has done it the most - three times (one against Calgary in '94) and has failed one time (surrendering a 3-1 lead against Minnesota in '03)

 

[Anglesmith]

this. So much this. They have won 3 games before and we have lost 3 before. I'm not banking on a round 2 appearance until we actually win game 4.

We did. Last night.

Was Bieksa on any of those teams?

I didn't think so.

I submit to you all that talking about round 2 is bad karma, ill advised, not a good idea, just don't do it. We are still in round 1 nothing has been won.

Hey, you guys remember after we lost the game to the Wild and we all thought we had blown our chance at the playoffs?

Yes, I distinctly remember that.

Yes

Keep in mind though we had good reason to think that. That was when we had like no OOT scoreboard help for like 2 straight weeks. One or two losses felt like 5 at that time.

Guys, Bollig apparently had a "grooming mishap" and had to shave his beard. Advantage, Schlemko.

This on twitter? That's ****ing hilarious though. Hopefully he's not superstitious!

Like serious? That sucks..

 

[Anglesmith]

Yeah, Jermaine Franklin's twitter. Hard to quote on my phone though.

 

[JagrBomber]

There goes the intimidation factor!

 

[Anglesmith]

Bollig looks like a high school student all of a sudden.

I was gonna say that.

We overcame losing Gio.

We overcame losing Bouma.

I think this is the end of the line for us. It was a fun ride with you guys

Sounds like it's not an "optional" practice anymore for the #Canucks today.

Desperate times for the 'Nucks.

Really hope we show up to play in Vancouver, for once.

Did anyone else catch Ramo's hair at the end of last game? He's got it tied back in a neat little bun. Gross.

Yes . His hair is getting very similar to Joakim Noah (Center for the Chicago Bulls).

 

[Bouma Fett*]

I think I might go out to a bar for game 5, just in case we win, instead of being alone in home when it happens

 

[DCDM]

I really wish I didn't have two finals on Friday.

 

[Lunatik]

no beard? my god we have been sabotaged.

Doesn't necessarily mean he's playing in game 5. Just like he was in Calgary for game 4.

Daddy Lack in Vancouver for game 5.
