Hypothetical (2011 vs 2014 Series against the Bruins)

[Habssince89]

So let's imagine that the Habs won in OT in gm7 of the 2011 series. We would look back on it so differently of course, regardless of what would've followed had they won the series. Would you as a Habs fan rank that 2011 series above the 2014 one, or would the latter be considered the more entertaining series/better memory?

Because on the one hand, 2011 was full of some great moments and overall tremendous hockey, but its just so hard to look back on it because of how close it was. Just objectively a great series.

On the other, 2014 was higher stakes and the narratives during that series was so intense. Subbans goal out of the box was something else. Weise coming alive etc.

2011 is the single greatest robbery I've witnessed in Habs playoffs fandom. Ryder's glove save sealed it, luck is against you when that happens. Can't digest it to this day, because we made Tim Thomas look mortal those playoffs, something every other team facing the Bruins afterwards can't say.

We. f***ing. Had. Them.

Because we won '14. But rob Bruins of a cup in '11 would be sweet

2011 because then the Bruins wouldn't have won the Cup.

We had no chance to win the Cup ourselves in either season but preventing the Bruins cup would've been satisfying, especially given the heated rivalry and dirty play by the Bruins jackasses at the time.
