NHL Playoff Hockey
This is Just In: NHL Playoff Hockey is far better then the NBA Playoffs.
Everyone up to our north in Canada knows it and now I will tell you why playoff hockey is far better then the National Basketball Association (NBA) equivalent of postseason play, their are three reasons in my view; the first reason is the flow of the game, second is the prestige of the Stanley Cup and the third is the apparition for athletic talent.
The flow of a National Hockey league (NHL) playoff game and the athletic ability of the players are two of the best reasons out of the three in my view; the flow of the game is so intense, that when your team shoots and makes a goal you feel like you will be having a heart attack in a mater of moments and when the other team shoots and gets the goal, you feel like you have just been hit by a semi truck.
The athletic ability, of the players in the NHL are amazing, whether it be in a playoff game or not the players athletic ability and toughness and their desire are really true sights of athletic ability, imagine being slam into the boards and with in the matter of seconds you get up and go towards the player who has the puck and then play defense, remember you are doing all of this on ice skates.
The prestige of the Stanley Cup is well known around the sporting world but it has even a meaning in Canada then in other country in the world, as in today NHL game it is extremely rare that a team from Canada wins lord Stanley, but that could end this year as Canada has only one team left in this year quest for the cup, but unlike the last two years when a Canadian team has lost a Stanley cup finals series (Calgary to Tampa in 04 and Edmonton To Carolina 06) this year team the Ottawa Senators could actually win it but they first have to take care of the Buffalo Sabers in the eastern conference finals.
But the most important thing is how much an entrainment value do you get from it, to be able to sit down and actually watch these two professional leagues playoff games on television, but for me, i get more entertainment value and fun by watching the NHL playoffs and so does the country of Canada.
