There's little that annoys more than playoff hockey guy.

The NHL is light years better than the NBA. PLAYOFF hockey is the best.

Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie

The NBA playoffs are actually the worst of the big 4 sports in North America when it comes to intrigue. They are boring and mostly predictable, but give you the most worthy champion, they just aren't usually all that interesting.

The NFL has the one and done factor, meaning you get exciting one off games but rarely does the 'best team' from the full on season win.

MLB has tension with every pitch, plus can get wild swings from one game to the next depending on the starting pitching. If your favorite team is involved, there isn't a more stressful postseason to watch.

NHL seems to have a little bit of it all rolled into one. The tension is there because games typically stay close and one or two goals can be all the difference. Plus you get some crazy upsets and the overtimes are awesome. I'm not even a hockey guy but the playoffs are pretty cool.

Let’s see if the Penguins can score on this power play and take the lead.

 

[BigGameDamian]

NY short handed goal.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Penguins in Rangers in a second overtime. If you’re not watching this game you have got to be ashamed of yourself!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wow! Pens replacing there goalie.

 

[BigGameDamian]

These guys are gassed.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Triple OT coming up….,,

 

[Mediocre Man]

Great game. Those guys were exhausted

 

[BigGameDamian]

WoW! Just took away Joel Eriksson Ek hat trick with a successful challenge. Would have been the first in Minnesota Wild history. Couple Minutes later Kirill Kaprizov gets the hat trick on an empty net goal.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nashville just can’t get anything going on this power play.

Nashville just can’t get anything going on this power play.

And again. Took some shots this time, but nothing of consequence

 

[BigGameDamian]

Another great game Pens and Rangers tied up 4-4 going to the 3rd period!

 

[BigGameDamian]

That’s clearly a goal. Boston ties it up. Carolina short handed for 2 mins. Stupid review!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Where would the Kings be without Jonathan Quick tonight? What a game he’s having.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Pens/ Rangers…. Very physical! There is nothing soft when it comes to playoff hockey.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Rangers just tied it up. What a game!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Bruins force a game 7 as they go to Carolina.

 

[BigGameDamian]

What a shot by Tyson Barry to tie it up!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Pens /Rangers what a great physical game, What a series! I hope the Rangers can win so it can go to 7.

 

[BigGameDamian]

BIG NEWS!

 

[PDXFonz]

I’ve been watching a little bit

Hockey isn’t too bad to watch on TV

 

[BigGameDamian]

Boston need to find away to get some shots on goal.

 

[Strenuus]

I’ve been watching a little bit

Hockey isn’t too bad to watch on TV

Best live sport to watch and it isn't close.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Bruins are just a disaster right now.

 

[PDXFonz]

Man this TB TOR game is intense

Overall… NBA playoffs are good, but I feel the World Cup might be the greatest overall event. But I do enjoy watching soccer, and know many don’t. The World Cup is absolutely epic, bigger than the Olympics in terms of the sport. If you think about it, Soccer is probably the worlds most played and most popular sport.

I’d say hockey is my third favorite.

American football sucks.

I can’t watch baseball.
