Can Any Wild Card Team Make A Run At The Stanley Cup?
Which Wild Card teams have the best chance of postseason success?
There’s no postseason like the Stanley Cup Playoffs, especially when you look at unpredictability. According to Michael Felger of Comcast SportsNet, the favored team in any Stanley Cup Playoff round won only 54 percent of the time in playoffs between 2010 and 2014. Compare that to the NBA, in which the favored team won 74 percent of the time.
