    “Teams that win more are more likely to win”

  2. mephnick

    2-0 lead wins 90% of the time

    Thanks for my daily gut punch

  3. TampaJayLightning

    What’s the stats for Leading and Losing 4-0/0-4?

  4. PasswordMustContain

    Since the lockout, the 2020 stars, 2019 Bruins, 2018 Golden Knights, 2011 Canucks, and 2009 Red Wings are the only teams to win game 1 of the series and lose the finals. The 2011 Canucks and 2009 red wings are also the only 2 teams since the 1971 Blackhawks to win the first 2 games and lose the series

    The Oilers have already defied statistical trends in a big way earlier this season, rebounding from their 2-9–1 start to make the cup final. So, anything is possible!

    What about the records when a team is leading with 4 wins?

  7. Finnwood92

    Who was the single team that lost while 3-0?

  8. Democracy__Officer

    Teams that lead 4-anything win 100% of the time

    “Winning games is better than losing games”

    Is the second slide really necessary?

  12. Bubbafett33

    Mind blowing. And I thought I would never use high school math in real life.

    “It’s advantageous to be winning”

    Big if true

    Winning game leads to winning the Stanley Cup.

    More at 8.

    So you’re saying it’s beneficial to win? Interesting. I need more data to be sure.

  17. MacZappe

    I cant wrap my brain around how its better to trail 3-0 then 3-1. 

    Nm, both only had 1 win but there have been more 3-1’s which brings % down.

    This is the most noise I have heard after a team goes up 1-0 in a series all playoffs. Oilers are not dead lmao.

  20. Brilliant-Neck9731

    Breaking news: Teams that win more games than other teams end up winning more championships. More at 11.

  22. Inthemiddle_

    Unless a team goes down 2-0 a series doesn’t get going until game 3.

  24. tomorrowANDtomorrow7

    This is why circle jerk subs exist

  27. MastaSchmitty

    Only five wins after being down 0-2, you say…

  28. scorpionslugs17

    Thank you for showing the trailing graphic, without it everyone would be forced to use their brain to just flip the record…

  29. myaltaccount333

    Edmonton is also the only team to win a series when neither team wins game 4 (and it was played) so Florida better have a game plan for that

  30. pretzelsncheese

    Would be interesting to see how these stats compare to the same ones for rounds 1-3.

  31. theWyzzerd

    I feel like you could have left off the second chart since it’s literally just the first one inverted.

  32. ChronoLink99

    Was this posted to enrage Canucks fans?

  34. RhythmTimeDivision

    I’ve seen other slides showing it’s beneficial to score more goals per game than the competition. Cannot confirm at this time.

  36. giaa262

    You also can’t lose in the playoffs if you don’t play in the playoffs

  37. BoilerSlave

    Does someone post this every year when a team wins game 1 in the finals?

  41. slabby

    Winning 4 games is the easiest route to winning a cup, by far

  43. ANGRYSNORLAX

    New data shows that winning at hockey is good when you are trying to win at hockey.

    I know they’re just trying to make some promotional graphics but christ almighty fellas who the fuck asked?

  44. 91Caleb

    The 3-0/3-1 come from behind cup winner is just who you’d expect.. the Leafs
