This is a really good post. Same two teams in the finals, same four in the conference finals. Nearly every other series felt repetitive as well. It's a very boring structure, seeing the same matchups year after year.
Call it sour grapes if you want, but I'd be thinking the same if the Oilers weren't involved in the equation. Outside of Leafs/Sens and Stars/Avs there's been very little excitement about these playoffs.
