The IceCats have a 2-0 lead, but have never swept a series. Neither have they ever been swept. In 1996-97, the IceCats won the first two games from Providence, then suffered a devastating defeat when the Bruins came back to take the next three. Last year, Worcester won the first two games in Portland, lost the third game in overtime at the Worcester Centrum, then clinched with a Game 4 victory. Worcester rallied for a win in the third game at home, then was eliminated at the Centrum in Game 4.
Every playoff series is different, and every playoff season is different, though.
One thing has remained fairly consistent with the IceCats, however. Their most dangerous players in the postseason are a surprise. Prevailing opinion seems to be that veteran players are the fuel that fires postseason success. Not everyone shares that opinion, though. You can't say that just because they are young players, they can't step up.
