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.

So basically what you're saying is we are overdue for a team trailing 3-1 to come back and win!

That's exactly what I read.

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!

No sh!t its pipe dreams. But its not impossible. Thats all anyone can hold on to right now.

All this 3-0 talk can go right out the window because it's not a 3-0 series now, it's 3-1. How it became 3-1 doesn't mean anything. Going down 3-0 and then winning Game 4 doesn't make a 3-1 comeback any harder, it's 3-1 and that's all that matters. And hey if they win on Saturday then it's 3-2. We see teams come back from 3-2 deficits all the time.

I already have at the start of the playoffs... cup or no cup this site is amazing.

If we were soundly beaten like game 3 to be down 3-0... there is no chance.

But games 1,2 were both OT... bad luck there as we outplayed them in OT.
Game 3: We buried ourselves
Game 4: We partially redeemed ourselves (ignoring an ugly, but scoreless period 2)

Let's say games 5-6 go to OT, but we luck out and grab both like LA.
Game 7? Oh yea, you know it... a dominating victory ala game 4 for LA
