Definitely going to lose game 3. How often in the last few years have we been able to win back to back playoff games? Seems like a VERY small %.
2015 (2 out of 3 series):
1st round vs PIT
2nd round vs WSH
2014 (2 out of 4 series):
2nd round vs PIT
3rd round vs MTL
2013 (1 out of 2 series):
1st round vs WSH (Even did it twice, gm 3+4 and gm 6+7)
2012 1 out of 3 series):
1st round vs OTT
2011 (0 out of 1):
4-1 vs WSH
2009 (1 out of 1):
1st round vs WSH
2008 (1 out of 2):
1st round vs NJD (Even did it twice, gm 1+2 and gm 4+5)
2007 (2 out of 2):
1st round vs ATL (Sweep, which technically is 3 times, gm 1+2, gm 2+3, gm 3+4)
2nd round vs BUF
2006 (0 out of 1):
Sweep vs NJD
That is 10 out of 19 series dating back to the 2004-05 lock-out.
