Caps/Bruins the best playoff series in NHL history?
Every game was decided by 1 goal. (1st time in NHL history) 4 games went into OT. Each team had numerous chances and game could of turned out differently
So, was this the best series we have seen in history?
Congrats to both Bruins and Caps for playing a great and tough series!!

It was stressful as a Bruins fans - and I'm sure as a Caps fan it was too. Even when the Bruins lost, that stress was still alleviated.
7 1-goal games and 4 in OT is just insanely stressful. It was exciting in that regard - but it was also low scoring and both teams played pretty conservative which was frustrating to watch. It seriously felt like a team playing themselves on a mirror.
I would have loved to seen more hits and aggressiveness, but I know both teams were worried about penalties because of how tight the officials were being because of some other series.
I don't know about best, but certainly the closest. And maybe I'm biased as a Caps fan, but one of the most exciting because it was so close. I hope sometime today I resume normal cardiac function.
Not only were all the games decided by one goal, but the only time either team had a two-goal lead was when the Caps went up 2-0 in game 5; that held for about three minutes.
