Which team is most likely to come back and win the series from being 2-0 down?

[I am not exposed]

The Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights are the two most recent cup winners. But which team do you think has the best chance of turning things around and actually winning their series?

Well if I can get Knob drunk enough to start Skinner the rest of the series we might have a shot.

I mean one team is coming home, the other is going on the road. In addition the Panthers are apparently according to everyone here the greatest hockey team in Eastern Conference history so clearly it’s them.

 

[SUX2BU]

Neither or both options?

Upon initially reading the thread title, I thought something along the lines of both of them being more than capable and about equally likely, so was hoping for a "both" option. But when you reminded me of the fact that Vegas lost both their home games and Florida has yet to play at home, I suppose that makes up my mind since I have to choose only one.

You think we're becoming road warriors

 

[ViD]

Both are likely done, but Florida has two home games upcoming and Vegas is heading to Edmonton, so naturally Florida is in a better spot

Neither or both options?

I mean, that's how I'd have put the question if it were me, but this isn't my thread. If the thread starter wants to make us pick one or the other, that's their right. Which, fairly enough, the question is phrased as "most likely to" as opposed to asking which team will do it. Even if you think it's neither, but give, say, Florida a 10% chance and Vegas a 5% chance, 10% > 5%.

Florida. Not so much because of how they're playing, but more so because Vegas has been uninspiring up to this point.

 

[Snap]

As a Leafs fan, Panthers. AINEC

I mean Vegas should’ve won game two if not for the dumb major penalty in OT as they had much better chances in overtime

 

[behemolari]

Neither or both options?

one has to, a hockey rule

 

[Eat The Rich]

Probably neither, but anything can happen playing the Leafs.

 

[I am not exposed]

Neither or both options?

Correct. You have to choose one. Or abstain from voting.

I'm asking which one is more likely, so the two options suffice.

Or if Hill doesn't spot the Oilers three in 2nd.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I could see both coming back. Florida is more likely though with the series heading home and Bob more likely to get his shit together IMO.

 

[Evilhomer]

Vegas. People continue to vastly overrate Florida, and while I understand that because of last season, this is not the same Florida team as last season.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Florida, is the easy choice, they’re going home for 2 games, Vegas is going on the road for 2 games. So Florida is most likely.
In b4 lock.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

They’re both dunski

theoretically speaking it’s Florida though since they have a better goalie, and outside of Nylander toronto struggles to get production from their big $ forwards in big games

 

[paragon]

I have absolutely no faith in Vegas. 4-0 Incoming.

 

[Spargon]

Well if I can get Knob drunk enough to start Skinner the rest of the series we might have a shot.

Imagine being so stonewalled by Calvin f***ing Pickard you wish for Edmontons starter lol

 

[Spargon]

Florida, easy choice, they’re going home for 2 games, Vegas is going on the road for 2 games.

Leafs had almost identical home vs away records this season. Plus it's Florida there will be leafs fans. They might eek out 1 of the 2 but it's not going to be some slaughter the next 2.

In a 7 game series, the team that is up 2-0 has gone on to win the series 86.3% of the time. When game 3 is at home, the odds of winning the series were 80.4% vs 88.4% if game 3 is on the road.

There we have it, Florida is most likely.

 

[M88K]

Both are possible, most likely, I don't know, coin flip it.

Edmonton's goalies are both bad, Pickard has been less bad than Hill, If that continues than Vegas is done, but It wouldn't take much for that to change really.
Toronto is kind of the same story Stolarz/Woll has been good enough and Bob hasn't, but that flips and Florida is back in the series.
