Those are still horrible odds for Colorado....
Dallas wins game 1,wins game 2
Dallas wins game 1, loses game 2
Dallas loses game 1, wins game 2
Dallas loses game 1, loses game 2 on OT or SO
Dallas loses game 1 in OT, loses game 2 in OT
Dallas loses game in OT, loses game 2
All of the above can be written out for Colorado winning or losing their game, wins or losses in OT and wins or losses in a SO.
The only way Colorado gets in is in one scenario, whereas Dallas has every other scenario for losing. I dont know if the percentage is 96% of Dallas finishing higher, but its definitely higher than 66%.
