I've heard a bit in the past two days about the Sabres record in a playoff when they lose Game Three. I figured I'd go back at 2010 and see just how predictive each game of a playoff series was.
As it turns out, Game Three is the least reliable barometer. Teams that won Game Three in 2010 only won 6 of 15 series. Here's the game-by-game breakdown:
Game 1 - 7-8
Game 2 - 11-4
Game 3- 6-9
Game 4 - 12-3
Game 5 - 10-3
Game 6 - 10-1
Game 7 - 4-0
I didn't need a calculator to figure out that teams that won Game Seven do really well in the series.
