Was this the greatest first-round series in NHL history?
We had seven games. Two overtimes. A Game 7 winner in overtime.
We had unprecedented (public) yapping. Evander Kane and Ryan Reaves. “The Babysitter” and “The Muffin Man”. Peter DeBoer and Gerard Gallant. The “clown” and “the chatter”.
We had controversial, game-changing calls. Logan Couture’s goaltender interference penalty in Game 2. Cody Eakin’s major penalty for cross-checking in Game 7.
We had signature performances. Martin Jones setting the San Jose Sharks’ team record for playoff saves with 58 on Easter Sunday.
