Most boring 1st round series so far?

[Sam Spade]

Pitt/NY because every game was like watching a replay of the game before it.

After thinking about it a little more... from most entertaining to least (Keep in mind, they are all good, so it's tough!)

Top tier
Calgary vs Colorado: Pace has been amazing, goaltenders too. Late-period comebacks & OT
San Jose - Vegas: Lots of goals & animosity

Middle tier
Winnipeg - St. Louis
Boston - Toronto
Tampa Bay - Columbus
Nashville-Dallas

Lower tier
Washington - Carolina
NY Islanders - Pittsburgh - Still a good series, the Islanders played hard, but the Pens couldn't bring it this year

I mean if your reasons for CGY/COL being top tier is great goaltending and late comebacks and OT then you kind of have to put WPG/STL in your top tier. The team that has scored 1st is 1-4 in that series. Also, every game has been won late except for one.

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

"Err... Get Off My Lawn". The playoffs have been fantastic this season and with tons of great storylines to boot. I don't know any true hockey fan could be bored by these playoffs.

Nothing boring about Stanley Cup playoffs.

 

[Ghetty Green]

Its been a great first round

Id say stars preds

 

[Einzakin]

Well St Louis and Toronto series

But there's many series this season that has been great this season.

By far the two best series.

Yeah, but the pace is a little bit slower, so it's just a little bit exciting I guess. But we're splitting hair here

People find the Blues-Jets boring????? Seriously????

Good, fast hard hitting, quite good.

 

[LGB51]

yes? Just because the games are close doesn't make them exciting. Slow pace to those games, greasy goals, no history/rivalry between the two teams. Even tonight's comeback was not very exciting.

I think it's because every win has been by the away team leading to very quiet barns every night. Had that coming back down 2-0 in the 3rd period & game winner with 15 seconds left happened in St. Louis the crowd energy would have made it more exciting for neutral fans imo.

 

[Matty Sundin]

I've only watched
Leafs/bruins
Lighting/jackets
Flames/avalance

None of them.have been boring to me

I disagree. While the first round is usually exciting I find the final can be rather stale. The teams are exhausted and playing more defensive.

As a Leaf fan, I’ve found this series to be lacking the intensity I was expecting. Tonight was just a God awful game to watch. Save for the Leafs winning of course.

It really was. Neither team would leave 2nd gear & seemed afraid to make a mistake leading to a very tentative game.

I wouldn't say boring since I haven't watched them, but I haven't watched any of the Blues-Jets and Stars-Preds series' as I don't have much of a vested interest in any of those teams. So not necessarily boring, but those two for least interesting to me personally.
