What do Canucks, Sabres, Sharks, Leafs, Capitals, Blues, Flyers, and Senators fans wonder, I wonder?

Anyway, that's it. Been here for 11 years, and I think this is the first OS thread I've ever started. Hope you enjoyed it!

Clearly you need to make more. I could read this for days.

You should honestly be writing somewhere professionally.

Re: The Greatest Playoff Series of the Modern Era

He is absolutely correct. IT was a great list and as much as I despise NJ and the NYR that was definitely #1. My god the one time I root for the stinking devils and they cant win. ugh. Im sure Marty and the devils don't mind though since they took it out on my flyers the next year. Damn that Claude Lemieux.

If your taking suggestions, How about a top 10 Canucks games in your lifetime (you could even do that for every team if you wish).

Those playoff montages are always awesome, but this video right here always gets me:

Mike Keenan wanted Brian Leetch traded. He thought he couldn't play enough defense to be a good NHL player. Keenan was the force behind gutting the team of young players to win that cup and was the one that wanted Mike Gartner gone.

Re: The Greatest Playoff Series of the Modern Era

One project I'd love to see Doc take on which would probably be much more challenging is a top 10 (or even top 20) individual playoff games of the modern era.

Re: The Greatest Playoff Series of the Modern Era

We can't let Doc get too big that he'll outgrow the NHL forum. He's allowed to wander off to the MLB forum BUT THAT'S IT.

Or single playoff performances by a player. I'm still amazed Curtis Joseph did what he did against Colorado.

Good idea.

Another good one. After all, someone has to write an ode to Patrik Sundstrom!

I do have an idea for an all-sports one that I'll start up soon and (hopefully) others will run with it. The more in-depth ones might have to wait awhile. I have important things to do, like watch World Cup games!

Iron Mike was one of a kind. I forgot to mention his Matteau/Noonan/Gilbert fetish.

Shameless bump for 2015 playoffs.

Re: The Greatest Playoff Series of the Modern Era

To be honest, looking back, I'm a little sad the 95' Cup Final isn't anywhere, but I do think it is a little bit of an overrated upset.
