You never want to be fall behind and be in an 0-2 hole.
In baseball, the statistical probability of successfully getting on base or delivering a hit is significantly smaller than when the batter gets ahead in the count and for the Ottawa Senators, they have never won a playoff series in the eight instances in which they have fallen behind two games to none.
I was convinced the Senators were going to even the series after Patrick Wiercioch scored midway through the third period, but it was a sobering loss thanks to the Subban goal and the heinous unforced error by Eric Gryba in overtime that led to Alex Galchenyuk’s goal that squeaked through Andrew Hammond.
