If anything the pressure is on Seattle. They have history of choking in the playoffs similar to the Leafs. They have some of the best teams in the history of Baseball atleast in the early 2000's and have nothing to show for it. They also went up in this series 2-0 where everyone said it was over. And went up 3-2 with 2 chances to advance. With that being said history or karma holds no barring. It's all about how you play on a given day that determines the results of a game.
