Which team down 3-1 will come back to win the series?

[saffronleaf]

Vegas, Winnipeg, and Washington are all down 3-1 in their series. Which if any will come back to win? Why?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Of the three, I'd say maybe Washington has the best chance if only because they've looked halfway competitive in their series. Granted, certainly not last game.

Normally, I'd pick Vegas, but they seem... kind of dead. Meanwhile, Winnipeg just doesn't have the depth or consistency to handle Dallas who I think we'll come out of the west.

All that said, I don't think any of them come back.

 

[roccerfeller]

Historically only 9.1% chance to come back

Theoretically any of these teams could but it’s a tall task and statistics are not on any of their side

 

[MBTendy]

Not sure any of the three teams have it in them to win three straight against their opponent. CAR, EDM, and DAL are the superior teams and deserve to be up 3-1 imo.

But hey, anything can happen.

 

[Coffee]

All three

D--none of the above

 

[Devonator]

I don't think any of them...if I had to pick one perhaps Vegas....but I doubt it.

 

[GlitchMarner]

I don't think any of them will.

I think CAR was the worst possible match-up for WSH (they struggled against them in the RS as well) and the Caps are both too old and too inexperienced to pull off the comeback here (I said I felt CAR would win in six and it looks like they'll win in five or six); I'm sure that if nothing else, McDavid and/or Draisaitl will have a dominant performance and finish VGK off at some point; and I don't think the Jets win three in a row against DAL with Hellebuyck (don't think Comrie is the solution, either).

 

[General Fanager]

I think they are all done.

Best chance I guess is Washington.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Winnipeg if they can solve Oettinger.

 

[MBTendy]

Winnipeg if they can solve Oettinger.

There’s a lot more WPG has to do than just solving Otter. A lot more.

 

[hangman005]

Not us.

 

[Rafafouille]

Washington 100%. Hurricanes are riding that Freddy hot streak. Roster isn't that good. If the goalie performance falls, the rest of them does.

 

[jonlin]

Have a hard time to think Winnipeg will win 3 in a row against Dallas, with Heiskanen and Robertson back. Dallas is just too deap. Washington has maybe the best shot, but 3 games is too much. I vote none.

 

[byrath]

None, but in order of likelihood
Vegas because the Oilers team defense and goaltending are kinda volatile
Winnipeg because they're playing well, pretty even series outside goaltending
Washington is getting dominated and are lucky to have not been swept

 

[hirawl]

Wins still in them:
Caps 0
Jets 0-1
Vegas 1-3

Yeah I say none. Best chance Vegas though.

None of them.

Based on what exactly?

They've created more high-danger chances in both of the last 2 games and the difference has been goaltending. Frederik Andersen has perfect 100 SV% on high-danger shots in this series.

 

[John Mandalorian]

It’s hard to imagine Washington coming back in the series when they struggle to come back if they fall behind any game. Could be wrong though.

 

[Machinehead]

Hopefully not the Celtics!

 

[ShootIt]

Only 1 I could see is Washington. but even then, I wouldn't bet on it.

Washington had a few good minutes in the last two games but still for most of the game was dominated. This series is over already if Tom Wilson doesn't go Superman in game two and block everything in site while providing on offense as well.


Speaking of Tom. I always thought he was just a goon that was one of those "you could only appreciate if he was on your team" kinda guy but between his offensive season and how he has played against the Canes in this series I've really grown to appreciate how good he is. Of course he has really toned down his BS in this series and has played a hard nosed pretty dame clean game, at least by his standards

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

I remember when the Habs were down 3-1 to the Leafs and then proceeded to pimp-slap Toronto the next 3 games.

Good times...

 

[BMOK33]

Nobody but I think the Caps and Jets do win game 5 because of a combo of Carolina not being a good road team and Jets being such a good home team

 

[Clint Eastwood]

All three

This is the type of chaos I yearn for!
