Big hill to climb, clearly, for the Montreal Canadiens.
A couple interesting things about this one.
None of the last 29 teams to face a 3-1 deficit have come back to win the best of seven series.
The 2021 Canadians are one of the most recent ones to do it.
The last team to do it was the Florida Panthers over the Boston Bruins in the first round in 2023.
So...
It doesn't feel like that long ago.
Only one of 73 teams down 3-1 in a best-of-seven conference final slash NHL semifinals have come back to win the series, and that was the 2000 Devils against the Flyers.
They just got to get the puck and shoot it.
The scoring chances in all situations last game were 41-8.
It could be.
It could be.
And the last thing I'll bring up, this is interesting.
Martin St.
Louis has plenty of experience overcoming a 3-1 deficit to win a best of seven series as a player.
He did it three separate times.
The only two guys that have done it more are Dominic Moore and Cliff Ronning.
Both did it four times down 3-1, which is pretty interesting.
No, it's not.
So he did it with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2011.
