    Five teams down 3-1 in the NHL Series, do any of them comeback to WIN?

    Pens-Flyers
    Canucks-Kings
    Chicago-Phx
    San Jose-St Louis
    Detroit-Nashville

    20 out of 229 teams have done it for a 8.7% chance. Rather low odds.

    Books giving much better odds, almost 25% in some cases.

    Realistically I'd say One team will come back.


    NHL needs to take a page from the NBA and make a few of these Game 7's.

    Are you taking the yes or no?

    If you parlay all of them together you get +110.

    the Hawks have had all 4 games go into OT..not sure how anyone can count them out when the series could easily be the other way.

    the Canucks are done...just way too late for them to bounce back.

    the Pens will always be dangerous with that offensive talent, just not sure they can continue to play like that last game

    St Louis and the Sharks is very interesting...the Sharks are used to collapsing, so maybe with them being the underdog, they can rise up.

    Detroit is in one hell of a battle. I just cant see them scoring enough against that Preds defense and 6'5 monster in net...Rinne isnt letting this series slip..

    Detroit 35-1
    Chicago 36-1

    Good shot of the Penguins coming back, Bryzgalov is falling apart and 87 is back on track.

    that 65-1 is a bit much

    assuming they are a pick em every game/series that would be 1 in 8 to win the first series and 1 in 32 to win the cup, i would put fair odds at around 45-1

    Are you saying you think the Sharks have a better chance than Detroit?

    dude sharks blow and all i have to do is bet on the sharks and they lose. Check my record on sharks, its sick. I will bet them in the next game to ensure a loss so they get the FUKK outta this series.

    Comeback for Pens or Canucks is the best shot we got for a comeback. I see the Pens being at the top of the list for a comeback. I truly believe the Pens game tonight is gonna be a monster hog with points. I could be wrong but they need all the goals they can get.

    Wings.....ehhh...very unlikely unless they start playing like they did earlier in the season and honestly their HUGE shot was last night at home where they play the best and had a super nice record there at home this year b4 it was broken....Wings on the road just aint that hot.

    Hawks are a TRUE wild card...no one can ever tell WTF they are gonna do...LOL. They could come back and never lose a game...LOL. They are sweet for making OT bets on cause you know even if they are down 2 goals with 10 seconds left somehow they will come back. Next meeting between them and Yotes I would say Hawks +1.5 goals has a great chance of cashing. Super high juice but I will risk it and never worry.

    Check out the huge difference in prices.

    St Louis -1450 Huge defence and tending=no.
    Phoenix -800 I know all the OT's just scream that it's possible but I think PHX is putting it all together right now with a top of the list tender=no.
    Nashville -700 Close to STL and SJ is just pissing the bed=no.
    Kings -470 Yeah up 3-1 with Quick doing great and others being outstanding but the last game was a big big concern for them. Hate to overstate it but the Sedins (whatever your op of them) together is huge. Put in the Schneider factor and I'm guessing belief in him and you've got worries if you're LAK. Bieksa is a huge leader for VAN in the room and on the ice and with him screwing up that play and SCH bailing him it will speak to no end.
    Flyers -400 PIT has the stuff to do this (with PHI tending being as such-I would've pulled BOB and put the stickboy in last game myself) but very heads/tails=maybe.

    There's my op. Great playoffs so far and I like how the lockdown on the stupid scrums, etc has come. Cheers

    Dude i know right....I have put more faith in them and they keep letting me down non stop. 1st time i bet against them all season and they won against the blues and I bet them each time after that as well. Even took them +1.5 goals and got murdered and had to eat that one. They are the only team that the +1.5 goals is truly unsafe..LOL.

    Cant help but love them and then hate them when betting a game they are involved in.

    I think they read the forums and know when I am betting them and decide to lose by whatever i bet on them..LOL.

    It won't happen, but San Jose and Detroit coming back would mean all series' underdogs (original lines) would have won. And I will have picked up 300 units on a 1/5 of a unit play.

    Detroit out
    Pens out
    Sharks out

    One might even be a stretch at this point. Chicago if anything.
