Favorite all-time series (that does not involve your team)?

First one to come to mind for me is 2007 Canucks vs. Stars in the 1st round. Absolutely insane 4OT opener which set the stage for the rest of the series, and then arguably the best goaltending duel we've seen in quite some time between Luongo and Turco (first time in the playoffs for Luongo, battling a guy that was trying to shed a "choker" label in the playoffs). While Game 7 was a relative let down, it was still a nice throw back in a year where goal totals were inflated coming out of the lockout.

I was going to say, Flyers-Pens.

What was that series where New Jersey or Washington kept giving up goals in the final seconds?

Was it Carolina?

1996 WCF between the Avs/Wings might always be my favorite non-Bruins playoff series. Both teams were basically juggernauts and the series had it all.

I will always remember Franzen dismantlig Avs in 2008.

That was the best 4 game series I have ever seen by a single player.

9 Goals in 4 games.. sick

Kesler vs the Predators in 2011 stands out as an individual performance to me too. 11 points in 6 games but 5 goals 5 assists in the last 4 games of the series

I hated that series because of the Stars inability to score after that first game. Turco had 3 shutouts in that series and still lost.

The classic Flyers/Pens or Bruins/Vancouver

I LOVE passionate hockey where it seems like everyone hates each other

Caps-Pens series last year. First time I've seen another center create a margin between them and Crosby in a series. Kuznetsov was unbelievable.

in terms of finals.. 2011 Canucks/Bruins.

Canucks were up 2-0 and extremely cocky before collapsing, and the ensuing riot was pretty crazy and made news worldwide.
