Admin Victor 10,940 Posted August 16, 2015 Admin Share Posted August 16, 2015 During S40 and some 3-1 leads back then, I decided to prove to the VHL that there is no such thing as a 3-1 curse. After a couple incidents in S40 and since then which have further somehow consolidated some members' (“cough”Green“cough”) false beliefs, plus with two 3-1 leads currently in the conference finals, it seems like a good time to update this. So here we go (S27-S39 was done in the original article here: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/14517-dispelling-a-playoff-myth/ CODE: Bland boring text: team with 3-1 lead won in 5 or 6 games Bold: team with 3-1 lead won in 7 games RED AND BOLD: team with 3-1 lead lost the series S27: New York 3-1 Seattle S28: New York 3-1 Davos S29: Toronto 3-1 New York, Toronto 3-1 Davos S30: Seattle 3-1 New York, Calgary 3-1 Seattle S31: Riga 3-1 Helsinki, Davos 3-1 Riga, New York 3-1 Calgary, New York 3-1 Davos S32: New York 3-1 Quebec, New York 3-1 Calgary, Riga 3-1 New York S33: Davos 3-1 Riga, Helsinki 3-1 Riga, Calgary 3-1 New York S34: Calgary 3-1 Quebec S35: Cologne 3-1 Davos. Toronto 3-1 Calgary, Quebec 3-1 Calgary S36: Toronto 3-1 Quebec, Davos 3-1 Helsinki, Toronto 3-1 Davos S37: No 3-1 leads S38: Riga 3-1 Vasteras, Toronto 3-1 Seattle, Davos 3-1 Riga S39: Seattle 3-1 Calgary, New York 3-1 Seattle, New York 3-1 Davos S40: Quebec 3-1 Calgary, New York 3-1 Calgary, Riga 3-1 New York S41: Quebec 3-1 Calgary, Helsinki 3-1 Cologne, New York 3-1 Quebec S42: New York 3-1 Toronto, Cologne 3-1 Helsinki, Cologne 3-1 Quebec S43: Cologne 3-1 Davos, Seattle 3-1 Quebec, Cologne 3-1 Stockholm, Cologne 3-1 Seattle So we have had three comebacks and of those, two successful comebacks from a 3-1 deficit in the past four seasons, despite 13 such instances, not including Calgary finishing off a 3-1 lead over New York in the first round. No need to note any percentages or the like, the trend is quite clear from the above. What does this mean? Well not that I've posted this, we're probably guaranteed at least one Game 7 in these conference finals. But more likely is a repeat of last season, where Cologne finished off Stockholm and the Meute were upset by a supposedly inferior (but much more likeable) squad. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/23084-two-3-1-leads-oh-no-well-it-doesnt-matter-actually/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
