Boston needed 3 attempts to eliminate the Leafs (1-2 in elimination games.) Tampa Bay is 1-0 in elimination games so far these playoffs.
St. Louis needed 3 games to defeat Chicago, a couple seasons ago. Then they struggled to eliminate Dallas. I declared that St. Louis could not win the Cup, due to their inability to close out series in a reasonable period of time, and of course I was right, as St. Louis was defeated by San Jose.
