With the NHL playoffs being in full swing, I thought I would pose this question.
Personally I think the NHL has the best playoffs. Every year it's very exciting and it is just unbelievable how much players manage to elevate their games for this. A true example of sport IMO.
Baseball is the only other sport that comes close IMO.
NFL is okay sometimes.
NBA is a joke.
What do you think? |

The NFL has the best.lose once and your gone.
The only sport that needs a 7 game series is baseball,because of the pitchers.
I dunno why the other sports need 7 game series,other than the obvious reason which is ticket sales . |

bull-.
NBA Playoffs are always just exciting as MLB Playoffs or the NFL PLayoffs.
I never thought the NHL playoffs were that exciting? Why? Because it's not that popular in america except the NHL finals. I guess I'm pretty biased since I live in a city that doesn't celebrate hockey that much compared to our northern neighbors, but I don't find it as exciting as football or basketball. It's like soccer with sticks. Soccer itself isn't exactly that exciting because your just watching shots and misses until someone scores. Hockey is though exciting to watch the rough play, I'll that at least. but I get that same amount watching football.
NFL Playoffs are always my favorite to watch, every game is always exciting and antiscipating. Every game is scouted heavily, produced and promoted a ton. Nothing beats it imo since it's one-game elimination.
NBA Playoffs are just as exciting because the level of basketball being played. The toughest, most challenging games of basketball are always the playoffs. All NBA superstars have made their names in the playoffs. I've never been more excited, more thrilled after some of the most intense and insane plays during the playoffs, especially game-winning shots(wasn't those two last shots in portland by kobe ing amesome? don't tell me they weren't)
I guess I'm biased because I love basketball more then any sport. I find football more exciting during the playoffs, but basketball is my true love. So much action, athleticism.. Best athletes in the world are basketball players. Don't give me bull-, because it's the truth.
MLB will always be good, but since the yankees sweep their way to the world series every year i've been less impressed.. God damn socks, beat them yanks for once. |

Baseball is cool, sometimes, but can be verrrry boring. |

| for baseball to be more fun, they should double the number of teams going to the playoffs... at almost mid-season we already know who's going to the playoffs and there's less intrest following the game. |

| Nothing's even close to hockey. Maybe not in all these warm climate expansion cities, but look at the Toronto Ottawa series:eek: teams like Montreal and Boston that actually have a long history and the fans not only support the team but are rabbid about it. Those series are unbelievable. Only thing that comes close in my mind is an AL final between the Sox and the Yanks again.. |
