The difference is that, outside of the Soucy suspension, the series was fairly officiated on the ice.

2011 was not. 2013 R1 against SJ was not.

2011 was a joke. It also left a bad taste in my mouth. The Rome suspension should of been investigated. 4 game suspension for a hit that was widely celebrated by New Jersey Devil fans for years in the playoffs. Steven's made a living off of that hit and to see Rome get 4 games "longest suspension ever in playoff history" is a joke. I honestly hated those playoffs because it also made me question the integrity of the game. Add in Colin Campbell making the leagues decisions on suspensions when his son Gregory played for the Bruins, how is that even allowed? Now in today's NHL with the betting involved, you can throw the games integrity out the door. 2011 ruined it for me, my fond memories are from 94.
