Who's blowing a 3-1 series lead?

[Brad Meador]

Columbus in the first round vs Caps in the year the Caps won the Cup.

Edit : I was wrong about Rangers vs Devils last year. Rangers won first 2 games but didn't lose 2-4 . It went 7 and they lost to the Devils

Colorado vs Vegas in 2021 (the year after Covid). 2nd round.

Colorado won the Presidents tropy that year and swept St. Louis and also won the first 2 games vs Vegas.

Vegas won the next 4 and the series 4-2.

If Bruins-Leafs goes to game 7 OT, whoever loses will suffer maybe the most devastating first round loss in history.

The Bruins seemed really rattled last night when Toronto didn't roll over for them. Some of the quotes coming out of Boston today speak to a nervous room. Saying the right things but it was addressed today.

Toronto wins game 6 they win the series

Boston played a terrible first and were still tied after 1.

The rest of the game was a story of two teams that didn't really do much of anything.

Then a D zone breakdown in OT.

I chose Leafs in 7 but let's be real, it wasn't an impressive win. Nor any indicator for tonight. Both teams have no showed periods/games.

Nothing would surprise me tonight, and a Leafs win just gives us more time to get healthy, both these teams are looking forward to seeing Benny and Lomby out there, no doubt, lol.

More devastating than Habs over Leafs 3 years ago?

after 2010, how dare you.

Did you forget about The Tampa Bay Lightning?

 

[GreeningOil]

The same team as last year, Boston

I would love to see it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, cause that was Mickey Mouse covid crap.

after 2010, how dare you.

Can't have been that devastating when the Bruins won the Cup the very next season.

 

[syz]

More interesting is, how many teams have lead 2-0 and then lost 2-4?

2017 Oilers.

edit: wait that one went 7 never mind.

Hey man, at the time, 20 year old me was big sad lol

Why would it be the most devastating first round loss in history?

Neither of these teams are legit contenders. Boston losing last year is a much bigger loss than if either of these teams lost.

Cumulative effect

Just off the top of my head, in recent history:

- 2010, Washington getting Halak’d caused actual mental trauma to that franchise

- 2019, Tampa getting swept by Columbus was probably the most stunning first-round result in history, and in retrospect likely prevented the Lightning from having the first true 3-Cup dynasty since the 1980s

- 2022, Toronto blowing 3 series leads to lose in the first round for an unbelievable sixth year in a row, preserving a 19-year series drought. The fanbase was inconsolable after that game 7

after 2010, how dare you.

That was a second round series.

Boston just choked a 3-1 series lead after the best regular season in history. That is far far worse, but people seem to give Boston a pass and not give the proper ridicule that deserves.

This is arguably the weakest leafs team in the Matthews era. Plus injuries I don't think many Leafs fans are devastated if we lose, it's kind of expected. Only weak minded fans hold Boston as some unbeatable boogeyman.

Boston

Toronto and Nashville could totaly turn things around if they get that 3-3 game going.

 

[Shane Diesel]

More interesting is, how many teams have lead 2-0 and then lost 2-4?

1999 Red Wings

Vancouver is going to blow it.

 

[Bobby9]

With the loss of Demko its highly possible it's Van.

 

[Zanon]

With the loss of Demko it’s highly possible it's Van.

I mean, DeSmith and Silovs have given the Canucks the chance to win every game so far… Feel like it will be their offense that does them in. It’s dried up since the All-Star break.

 

[Petey O]

Vancouver is going to blow it.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Canucks blow out Nashville next game.

Just a really weird team.

 

[Summer Rose]

I wouldn't be surprised.

Just a really weird team.

5 goals on 14 shots sound good?

 

[Petey O]

5 goals on 14 shots sound good?

That's how they roll. I'd rather 5 goals on 35 shots but the team is allergic to shooting.

 

[StrawHatEklund]

Boston with the best odds right now lol but hoping it’s just them. Dallas needs to put Vegas down for all of us and prefer Canucks over Preds.

Far more devastating for the Bruins. Leafs fans have gotten accustomed to game #7/ first round losses.
