Default Most anticipated playoff series of all time

A post I made earlier I said that this flames oilers series had maybe the most hype of all time. I also mentioned that Pittsburgh and Washington have had many highly anticipated series too.

My question is what series do you feel had the most anticipation leading up to it of all time?

Red Wings vs Pittsburgh finals in those back to back years felt like a big deal at the time.

All those RW legends facing off against prime Crosby.

Ooh good point, that was some great build up. I should have mentioned the Bruins Leafs series they shared with all of the Toronto heartbreak

Rematch of the Colorado Avalanche and Detroit Redwings in 97.

In 1996 the Ave’s took out the 132 point 6 loss Redwings and went on to win the cup.

Sakic/Forsberg/Roy vs Yzerman/Shanahan/Federov

It was quite essentially the Stanley cup final of that year.

Not to mention the bad blood from the Claude Lemieux hit on Draper prior.

Avs/Wings was absolutely insane
Pens/Caps
Pens/Flyers
Hawks/Canucks
Anytime it’s any 2 of Leafs/Habs/Bruins
And now Flames/Oilers

I think those are the big ones over the last 20-30 years

Too bad there wasn't a Nucks-Bruins rematch between 2012-15. Would've been must watch TV for many after the riot finals.

But the deterioration of the Canucks' once good teams was also a welcomed thing by most in the west.
