Incredible Road/Home Configuration Redux 10 Of 10

The only time the Dallas Stars won the NHL crown was 25 years ago in 1999. That year in the semi-final vs the Colorado Avalanche, Dallas prevailed vs the Colorado Avalanche, doing so with a home win in game 7.

That season, as is the situation this year, the Stars lost game 1 at home, won #2 there, won the third (road) before losing (road) 4th and home 5th games.

Edmonton (Oilers) won (3-1) in #5 and lead their semi vs Dallas 3 games to 2.

As stated here yesterday, incredibly, the current Florida Panthers (3-2) lead in their semi-final series vs the New York Rangers, has the same road/home wins configuration as the Rangers/Devils semi that preceded the team’s lone title, that 30 years ago, since 1940 in 1994.

Then, as is the case in their current “semi” vs Florida and as stated yesterday, in both the ’99 and current Stars’ “semi,” the home advantage teams, the Rangers and Stars each lost a home #1, won #2 there, won the third (road) before losing both #4 (road) and the 5th at home.

10 of 10 repeats, what are the odds?!!

Roughly those odds are 2 to the 10th power or 1,024 to 1.
