I think Vegas takes them in 5 and then gets stomped in the 3rd round.

I mean I'm literally math-ing the guy and he's like "NUH UH"

This was his first statement in response to Nashville and Winnipeg being the two best teams:
wonder why the 2 other west teams in the 2nd round both swept against tougher opponents then but neither of these did

To which I told him there is zero correlation with sweeping in the first round and having success in later rounds.

His reply:
ever heard of this momentum thing? its pretty important in the playoffs. like how the 8th seed predators last year had their great runs.

To which I told him that:
1) A team with a sweep in the first round hasn't won the Cup since the 00-01 Avalanche
2) Since the lockout (not counting this year), there have been 12 first-round sweeps, and the results are: 6 losing in Round 2, 3 losing in Round 3 (Conference Final), 3 losing in Round 4 (Stanley Cup Final).
3) Teams with a sweep in Round 2 are 5-2 in the Conference Final so that's actually a far stronger correlation.

50% of teams immediately losing in the next round doesn't really suggest "momentum" from the sweep heavily factoring in (especially once you factor in the fact some of these teams end up sitting for over a week, like Vegas hasn't played since last Tuesday and San Jose since last Wednesday).

And after this year it will still remain at 50% :P

And then:
sweeping in the 1st round helps you play better in round 2, thats a fact. and when you sweep in the 2nd round you just have to win the CF so ofc the odds are better

Which is where the math really came out.

1) Since the lockout (again not counting this year), there have been 22 first-round series that ended 4-1, and the results of the team winning the series are: 11 losing in Round 2, 3 losing in Round 3 (Conference Final), 3 losing in Round 4 (Stanley Cup Final), 5 winning the fucking Cup.

Well holy shit look at that, not only do we have the same 50% failure rate in Round 2, but we actually have TEAMS THAT HAVE WON THE CUP! In 5 of the 12 years, a team that went 4-1 in the first round won the Cup!

The guy had a .912 save % coming in to the game.

He's giving up 3 goals a game because Columbus is giving up almost 40 shots per game.

Washington also had 8 ppgs coming into the game.
