Interesting, I find SJ/St.Louis and LA/Vancouver to be absolutely great.

Every series is absolutely fantastic so far. If I had to choose one to say is my least favorite, it was probably Devils/Florida, but a little unfair to judge off one game. Just seemed to lack the intensity of the other matchups.

[KovalchukR8]

93 hits in the Devils/Panthers game. Yup sure lacked intensity.


I doubt that people even watched the game enough to judge because Philly/Pitt started 30 minutes later. And it has only been one game so far anyway.

[NyQuil]

I'll leave the OTT/NYR alone because it involves my team.

Personally I've really liked PHI-PIT.

I don't understand people who don't.

Huge momentum swings, huge goals, SH goals, crazy saves, big hits...

You should be happy that everyone just expects you to win.

[um]

pit vs. phi is the worst so far. i like smart hockey

[Burr14]

Vancouver - LA has been by far the lowest quality hockey.

[Devilshark]

Rangers Senators is the best hockey series, and today's game was the best of the playoffs so far.

Penguins Flyers is a sideshow because one team cant play defense at all, and both teams' goalies are a joke atm.

I'm not saying it is the best series I'm just saying what he said about the intensity is not true. You can rank it down for other reasons but for a lack of intensity?


Anyway I don't care that everyone expects us to win because that doesn't mean we won the series.

[CriminallyVu1gar]

I have had almost no interest in Boston - Washington and NYR - Ottawa, though now that things have gotten serious, I'm hoping the NYR series will escalate.

STL - SJS has been great for me since I'm pulling for the Blues.

[Victory*]

IMO the Sharks-Blues series bores me. I dont know why, it doesn't interest me as much as the others.

I'm the same way, though I'm not really engaged in the Rangers series either. But I'll at least watch those games.

The game was definitely hard hitting, but drama wise, I think a few other series have it beat. I could be misinformed for all I know, I only caught about half the game. Just my opinion.

[BronYrAur]

Ottawa / NYR and Pitt / Philly have been entertaining as hell, but not so much for quality hockey.

Hawks/Yotes IMO has just been damn good hockey. Fast-paced games, not too many penalties, crazy finishes to the 3rd period....amazing stuff. Haven't watched enough of the other series to say this is the best, though.

[Brent Burns]

Series that have interested me the most so far
SJ/STL (Sharks fan though so... obviously)
LA/VAN
PHI/PIT
NJ/FLA

some people prefer some defense in a hockey game as well.

So, you don't like the STL/SJ series but you haven't watched it?

You're missing some intense hockey.

Well DeBoer was the old coach of the Panthers so there is drama there but I agree it lacks in that department compared to other series.

[ChibiPooky]

Caps/Bruins has been awesome imo. Hawks/Coyotes sounds great, but I haven't managed to catch one of the games. The first Pens/Flyers game was intense and didn't disappoint, but it sounds like the second one was sloppy. I missed all of Friday's games because I was playing in my beer league

One that really has disappointed me so far is Wings/Preds... not sure why. It was my second most anticipated series before the playoffs started (behind Pens/Flyers) but for some reason I'm just not into it.

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks vs Yotes or Pens vs Flyers

Both very exciting

Hawks/Yotes series has some great goaltending while Pens/Flyers is very much a throwback to 80's

[KingKopitar11]

I say the Pens and Flyers is most boring. So many goals you dont know which one is important so its bleh.

[NugentHopkinsfan]

I've been entertained by all the games. The canucks games have been the most boring, well after florida but the other 6 have all been very intense and fun to watch.

[VinnyC]

Hawks/Yotes have been sick so far.

[binop7]

STL/SJ has been awesome. STL plays like a real team, forwards back checking and covering the gaps, really great to watch. Oshie made a beauty play today too, tons of skill on both SJ and STL

Vermette doing some serious work in that series.
