NJCroMag Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 3 out of 167...1.8% I like those odds What I like about them is that, if you move the decimal point over one spot, our odds jump up to 18%. And if you tack another zero on the end and move the decimal point over another spot, our odds of winning jump up to a whopping 180%. Dude...we have a 180% chance of winning this series now!

devilsrule33 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 As fans...I think we need to think like the players. Forget trying to think about being down 3-0 and winning 4 straight, or the history of it all. Just forget the Devils are down 3-0 and be concerned with the Devils trying to win tonight. That's it.

I mean, what else are you gonna do? Not watch, I guess. But that's not an option. The people on this board are watching the game ... and the post-game funeral on MSG 2, if that happens to be tonight.

Just forget the Devils are down 3-0 and be concerned with the Devils trying to win tonight. That's it. Exactly. 4 best out of 1's. It's like NCAA single elimination. Let's go get this one and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyDev Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I like those odds 1.8% x a googleplex + A / B to the 16 - 2 x 456 to the cosmos = 758, so really when you think about it, the Devils are looking good. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 1.8% is half of the 3.6% of the chances the Devils would win the lottery last year to get Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) We've been upgraded to 8.6% now. But teams down 3-1 have had a rough patch, they're 1 out of their last 16 finishing the job. (Tampa 2011 first round against Pittsburgh) Actually, more teams have tied up 3-0 series than have won from 3-1. During that time period, obviously.

#21 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Does anyone know how many teams have been down 3-0 in the Finals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know how many teams have been down 3-0 in the Finals? 26 total. 20 of those have won game 4. Only one has ever come back from 3-0 to win. With this in mind, history was on our side in game 4, but its VERY against us overall. But the tide has changed a bit recently, the Blackhawks and Red Wings both forced game 7s after being down 3-0 in a series last year + the Flyers coming back to make the Conference Finals the year before, the Flyers were also down 3-0 in game 7!
