That was the best playoff series I've ever seen for both entertainment and extremely high level of play.
I was at the end of my seat for every moment of every game. No lead was safe.
This is what I love about the game - sometimes it's so compelling that you can't even afford to blink - you might miss something.
The first game 6 OT lasted 26min - that's 20 minutes of action in 26 minutes. 20min of AMAZING action in 26min. How many other sports give you that much value per minute?
If I'm eating while watching, I might spend up to a minute between bites because I'm afraid to look away from the TV to identify what I should spear with my fork.
Hockey is it's own thing. I try not to compare the sports to one another because they each offer a unique experience. Baseball for example (which a lot of people see as boring) is just as exciting (I know I know), if you're mentally "into" every "situation." That means each pitch. And I can watch any two baseball teams play one another.
