From watching both series, I thought the Lightening were a better team than the Bruins in round one. The Bruins had periods of dominance, but they weren't as consistently good as the Lightening were. Putting aside the regular season rankings and just looking at the games played in the playoffs, I find beating the Lightening to be the more impressive feat, even though it's less surprising when factoring in the regular season rankings.
