The above question was inspired by a couple of Puckdat's questions from a few days ago.
Throughout hockey's long history, there have been various displays of pure majesty as far as standout goaltending, goals, defense, and so forth. That being said, I pose the question to my fellow hockey fans out here: what series (in your opinion, of course) in either the NHL or international play has been the best in the aforementioned terms I have listed? It could be a quarterfinal, a semi, a Stanely Cup final, World Juniors, Olympics, Summit Series, anything!
For me, (and being a Penguins fan, this is hard to say) it was the 1994 Wales (I refuse to say "eastern") Conference final between New Jersey and the New York Rangers. Hockey was at its peak (and the number three sport at the time, ahead of the NBA in my opinion). Two words: Mark Messier, and seven games of great hockey (unfortunately, it was also the birth of that bastard child known as the neutral zone trap).
