Do we get any 3-1 series comebacks in round 1?

[c9777666]

With CAR tying their series at 2-2, we have 4 series guaranteed to go 6 games, 2 sweeps in the books, and 2 series with a 3-1 sitution.

The #1 and #2 teams in the West record-wise are trying to do something that hasn't been done in 4 years, but historically since 1987 has been happening every few years.

San Jose took one step closer, Calgary still has their game 5 tomorrow.

What are the chances we get 1 3-1 comeback, if not 2?

The last time we had two teams in one round comeback from 3-1 down was 2003, so the odds are not in their favor.

Not Calgary.

 

[PrototypeX85]

I can't see Calgary coming back. They've looked terrible in these playoffs. If anyone's going to pull it off, I think it would be the Sharks. Though IMO they're unlikely to survive game 6 in Vegas.

 

[neXis]

I can see San Jose doing it. The Flames are probably done, don't think they will.

 

[Devonator]

Honestly do not see Calgary or San Jose coming all the way back.....especially Calgary....yikes...

 

[BlueDream]

Don’t think so.

 

[JPeeper]

Neither. Calgary ain't getting back to Denver and San Jose is going to get destroyed on Sunday in Vegas.

 

[tiburon12]

Neither. Calgary ain't getting back to Denver and San Jose is going to get destroyed on Saturday in Vegas.

Phew, good thing the game is on sunday then!

 

[Bronson]

I think San Jose has it in them to get back.

 

[AvsFan29]

maybe SJ, but it's doubtful.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I don't understand how Calgary has just been awful in metrics, it literally makes no sense.

 

[Sam Spade]

No.

 

[EON]

San Jose could if Jones plays like he did last night, Calgary has been shockingly outplayed badly by Colorado thus far so that comeback seems less likely.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

I think both teams are capable of a comeback. I think it's unlikely but the Sharks took the first step and now they just need two more. Calgary has to make a big turnaround. I think Mike Smith can keep them in there, is their coaching good enough to do it?

 

[BMOK33]

Calgary will win like 5-1 tonight but I doubt they get game 6. San Jose I don’t give a big chance of doing it but it’s there

Makes no sense based on what? Your expectations, I guess? I get that.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Well most people's expectations. Flames were one of the best teams in quality suppression and generation 5on5 in the regular season, so the fact they're being outplayed this badly is baffling.

 

[Fugazy]

Probably would give the Sharks the best chance, but still not likely.

 

[tony d]

I think the Sharks do it, doubt the Flames do it however.

Coaching staff looks shellshocked. Their defensive strategy is terrible, their transition is awful, their forecheck is a mess, etc. They changed things up for no reason and it f***ed us in the ass. This is peters first playoff series, but yikes has he been bad. We’ve been far worse than Tampa outside of game 1. We are finito.

Yeah I really don’t get it. The only explanation I can think of is that playoff rookie Peters is getting severely outcoached by Bednar who has some playoff experience from last year.

Makes no sense based on what? Your expectations, I guess? I get that.

Calgary allowed the fewest shots per game in the regular season and they just allowed more than 50 in back to back playoff games. Give credit where it’s due to Colorado, who have played a great series, but the way that series has gone is very strange.

Anyhow, I think San Jose and Colorado are both going to lose their series.

 

[viper0220]

The Flames are done, the Sharks might come back but highly unlikely.

 

[Coffey]

Definitely not the Flames.
They checked out two games ago.

Have 2/3 home games likely helps in a 3-1 comeback. If you're going to win a series, you have to be able to win at least 1 road game, as it's harder now to defend home ice for all 3/4 games that you get. If there is good flow in a game, last change won't impact the game much. And arenas are pretty much all the same now.

Cmoooooon Sharks!
