Post by smegma »

So do we play on the averages, and think the final will be Dallas vs Florida?

Sorry, it looks like when home teams win the 1st game of the series they have an 80% chance of winning!

Hmm that one surprises me, Not that the number itself surprises me but I would have thought the away team winning game 1 would lead to an even higher series %.

First pitch strikes are a big deal.

The Kings and Leafs were both home teams and both up 2-0

What are the percentages there?

Well it looks like the odds drop when the home team wins the first two games. 68.6% success rate.

But they did. You must have thought so too. You were so quiet. Man Chris Pronger was raving. I blame him for the 3rd.

Dallas was up 2-1 last year before losing in 6.

What are the odds of that?

I was busy doing other things. Plus the power was off until about 9 STL time for me. The odds are good that the games will go 6-7 games because the NHL, and cities make more money that way.
