CHEW ON THESE NUMBERS......
In last 4 yrs' Playoff Round 1......
Of the teams that won Game 1
2002: 5 of 8 won the series
2001: 6 of 8 " " "
2000: 7 of 8 " " "
1999: 6 of 8 " " "
That's 24 out of 32 for 75%, it goes over 80% over the last 7 yrs. With Boston 0-3, 7 of 8 is the highest we'll get. The interesting thing is that 7 of 8 #1-#4 seeds lost Game 1 this yr, so are we gonna see this 75% drop??
Isles 1-1
Oils 2-1
Leafs 1-1
Caps 2-0
Looie 1-1
Quacks 2-0:Yep:
Minny 1-1
I LOVE NHL PLAYOFFS
