NHL 2003: The year of the choke job?!?!

[John Corn]

Through just 2 rounds of playoffs, we've already had 3 teams (St. Louis, Colorado, and Vancouver) blow 3-1 series leads. Has that ever happened before? Heck, has there ever been a playoff year of 3 or 4 rounds when three teams blew such comfy leads? If so, when did it happen?

How often did the 7th and 6th seeds play each other in the Western Finals, though?

I know that the Wild coming back from 3-1 deficits twice in one playoff is the first time in history a team has done that! And they still have two rounds to go, and are already down by one 1!

I think it would be interesting to see if this year's Western Finals teams have the lowest sum of regular season points in history....
