Best NHL playoffs ever?
So I just got to think about one of my favourite topics...
I can't judge it complexely because I have not had a chance to watch any series before 94, and I have only read about and seen shortcuts from the amazing times of Oilers and Islanders in the 80's, Flames in 89 Lonny McDonald holding the Stanley Cup with the biggest moustache in the NHL history plus the double for Penguins with Jagr, Mario and Paul Coffey on rooster had to be something too...
BUT at least from what i have had a chance to see, I would always vote for the:
93 / 94 NY RANGERS as the STANLEY CUP WINNER
both - semifinals with Devils and then finals with Canucks (which is my favourite team ever since) were an incredible displayment of moral and skills, moments like Mark Messier scoring a third period hattrick to turn over the game 6 of semi finals with NJ are tough to match.
Plus the whole seven game final series with Vancouver was some of the finest hockey I ever saw..
Purchased a 15 DVD set of the NY / NJ and NY / VAN series once I was in Vegas this january, just finally got to watch that and I gotta say, even after 13 years I am enjoying every minute as a little kid so far...
Which are your favourites?
