There's a reason why it has only happened 4 times in history... Sweeps happen like every year

its just a less likely scenario...because one team has to "sweep" 3 before getting swept

but in either case...its losing 4 in a row

the leafs do that shit allll the time

Less likely scenario than a sweep? Technically every time a team has the opportunity to sweep a series, the opporunity is there for the comeback.

If that makes sense

yes, but its less likely because if a team has won 3 in a row...youd assume they are the marginally better team, or that theyve been playing much better, so its less likely for the other team to then win 4 in a row

Exactly why losing the series after leading by 3 is worse than a sweep...

its just still losing 4 in a row is losing 4 in a row

Read this:



4 opportunities to close out a team and losing, is worse than just 1 team winning 4

Yes essentially it's just losing 4 in a row, but it's much harder to do and less likely to happen

im saying its less likely...not thats is necessarily any better or worse

it all just depends on how you look at it i guess



except for rene bourque...who was happy his team picked up an important 2 points on the road in the tampa series
