Oh boy, do you have time for a long list? Granted my favourite moment from my favourite postseason isn't necessarily my favourite playoff memory but I can honestly say 1993 is my favourite playoff year. The best series was between Toronto and Detroit and my favourite moment that series was the overtime winner in Game 7. One of the most naturally excitable calls I think I ever heard an announcer do (Bob Cole). It was just one of those goals that finally made Leaf fans feel good again and it had been a long time.

1993 overall had a ton of good storylines and even though I wish Mario and the Pens had beaten the Isles there were still good sub plots.

Yes, this would be a long list... Chicago in 61 after so long a drought, Toronto in 62, 63, 64 & 67.... Boston in 70 & 72, the Canadiens winning in 71 and the Flyers in 1974... that latter final vs Boston with Philly unexpectedly & shockingly prevailing, first ever Expansion Team Win, the city going absolutely nuts was truly something else entirely. Then when they followed it up the next year, 1975, underscored the fact that it wasnt a fluke, wasnt a mistake... Montreal in 76 of course... The Islanders in 1980.... 84 Oilers...

Favourite postseason was 2004.
Fav series was Flames vs Canucks.
2 Favourite moments from that postseason were Marty Gelinas OT winner vs Canucks and Steve Montador's OT winner in game 1 vs Sharks.

The Wings - Avs rivalry. It would be between 1997 and 2002. Incredible talent on both sides.

 

[Reality Check]

This is where everyone will declare the team they cheer for on a nightly basis and declare their favorite playoff run involving them.

A better question would be your favorite playoff. Excluding your team and whatever they accomplished.

02

-Homer pick for the Leafs-Sens and Leafs-Isles series
-Avs-Wings conference finals was pretty awesome.
-Vancouver vs Detroit in round 1 was fun as well. Was thinking Vancouver would pull off one of the biggest upsets ever when they won that.

My first instinct was 1994, because the first, third, and final rounds were full of great stories, but I can't really remember anything too significant from Round 2 other than Leetch being great.

2009 is another good one, only that time, it was a so-so Round 3.

Probably have better luck in looking towards the two-round era, because there's probably a few years where every series was exciting. Or maybe 1975 from the three-round era.

My favorite was probably 1988, when I was 12. Everyone expected Calgary to take down Edmonton, and the Oilers swept them out, eventually going 16-2 in the playoffs.

In more recent years, I quite enjoyed the 2008 and 2009 playoffs, especially the Det.-Pitt. Finals.
