Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson put me to sleep....Can't believe CBC can't do better than this.

All of them. Hockey isn't what it used to be.

Honestly, pretty boring playoffs so far. None of the series is especially interesting. I expected the most out of Bruins-Leafs but it's been a major letdown.

Islanders - Penguins. Islanders smothering style is very effective but hard to watch. Blues - Jets is pretty lame as well, hardly any offense.

I have a hard time paying serious attention to SJS-VGK and DAL-NSH. Not sure how to really explain it but i just find myself wandering while watching those games. Loving CGY-COL though. Probably my favorite (non-homer) series. BOS-TOR is very watchable and WPG-STL just doesn't move the needle for me one way or the other.

most boring to least:
1. SJS-VGK
2. DAL-NSH
3. WPG-STL
4. BOS-TOR
5. CGY-COL

How about all the other people saying that series? I’ll be waiting for your response.

Playing sound defence against team that won two cups and keep best player in the world to one assist is boring? Maybe these "other" people don't know anything about hockey or maybe they are "fans" of teams that did not make playoffs.

Yes, of course, that must be it. I'm glad you have an excuse ready for anyone who says the series was boring. You can call it whatever you want, at the end of the day it was boring hockey.

Toronto/ Boston has such a lack of emotion compared to the other series. No scrums or emotion allowed.

These other series have been fantastic in that regard. Aside from Dallas/Nashville which is quite unappealing.

And of course, if rags were in playoffs, hockey would be very entertaining. So predictable. :rolleyes:

That is because of Toronto. Their whole team play without emotion

As a Blues fan and them being 2-2 with WPG you would think it's been exciting. It hasn't.

I don't know if away teams always winning so the crowds aren't into it is part of it but 3/4 games have been close but not really exciting at all.
