Odds Of

Vancouver is up 3-0, Calgary is down 0-2, Minnesota, Edmonton, and Colorado are all shaking up their upper management. It's a good time to be a Canucks fan.

In NHL, NBA, and MLB history, there have been 272 playoff series where a team was down 0-3, and only 3 of those teams have ever come back to win. That's a 1.10294% chance of winning!

The Blues would have to play the scenario out 100 times to be able to come back once!

Here's a list of things that the St. Louis Blues have a better shot at then to come back being 3 games down:

2% chance of living to 100. Then they can suffer 100 years of futility.
3% chance of having twins. Then maybe you can double your chances of being robbed by Luongo.
7-10% chance of being left handed. Try switching hands then maybe you wouldn't take so many penalties.
2.63% chance of picking the right number in Roulette. Sell the whole team and just bet on 4, cause you ain't winning 4 straight.
