00:00I don't know how you bounce back.
00:01Can they bounce back from that?
00:02That was so bad.
00:03That was so bad.
00:04Probably not.
00:06I mean, I guess this is what you'd have to hold your hat on,
00:10because I heard them talking a lot about it this morning,
00:12and Wiggy was trying to figure out being down 2-0.
00:16He's calling this a must win, I think.
00:18He was, like, talking about it as if no team has ever come back from 2-0,
00:23because he was saying how, like, in football, it's just win or lose.
00:26I'm like, right.
00:26Like, in the playoffs, that's what he's talking about.
00:28That is the way football works.
00:29All the other sports have, like, a series.
00:31So he's like, we should have somebody on that's been down, like, 2-0.
00:33I'm like, yeah, you could.
00:35Probably could.
00:36Yeah.
00:36Talk to whoever.
00:37Plenty of guys.
00:38Plenty of guys.
00:38That's what I would think.
00:39But he was making it sound like it was a brand-new thing.
00:41And then it got me thinking.
00:42I'm like, is this new?
00:43No.
00:43They've been doing series for a long time.
00:46They're a really good home team, though, the Bruins are.
00:48So here, I guess, would be the thought is if you –
00:51even if you lose tonight and then you come back to Boston,
00:54the place is going insane.
00:56They score a goal early.
00:58Swayman stands on his head.
01:00They win that one.
01:01Now it's like, as much as you coughed up a game one,
01:04who knows how it's going to play out tonight.
01:06But if it's 2-1 and then you have another game in game four that's at home,
01:11like, I don't know.
01:11Like, that's how series can swing.
01:13It is.
01:14Now, I know in hockey, teams get up 2-0.
01:16They have a pretty – the percentages are very much in their favor.
01:19You want a famous one?
01:20Bruins went down 2-0 at home against Montreal in 2011.
01:24And Char, like, missed a game.
01:26Something weird was going on with Char.
01:27I don't remember all the details off the top of my head.
01:29But the Bruins came back.
01:30They won that series.
01:31They won the Cup.
01:31So, I mean, if you want a prominent one, like, you could turn it around.
01:34And those were home games that they lost.
01:35And they had to go to the Bell Center.
01:36And Ferentz flipped everybody off.
01:38And, like, it was a great turnaround.
01:40So, that – it's possible.
01:42Here's what I don't like about this particular matchup.
01:44Okay.
01:44You never want to let a team – like, Buffalo has had no playoff track record.
01:48Weren't they down 0-2 in the Cup Final, too?
01:50Correct.
01:50Well, that was at least on the road at Vancouver.
01:53So, that was more like defend your home ice and get there.
01:55And then they won game seven at Vancouver.
01:57But that's what I'm saying.
01:57That applies to this scenario.
01:58Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
01:59No, I'm saying they've been in even worse spots than this.
02:01Oh, oh, good point.
02:01And they've turned around and still won series.
02:03But, no, plenty of teams have been down 2-0.
02:06And what I don't like about this particular one is Buffalo has no playoff track record.
02:09They haven't been there since 2011.
02:11The place was on fire when the game started.
02:14Yeah.
02:14And then nothing happened.
02:15And the Bruins come in and dominate them 2-0.
02:17I mean, dominate them on the scoreboard because I do think they were getting outplayed.
02:20They come in and they win that game.
02:22Buffalo's now looking at it like, oh, crap, was our whole regular season of Mirage?
02:26Maybe we weren't that good.
02:27Maybe we were lucky.
02:28Maybe we are the team to get picked off.
02:30And I think that starts messing with you.
