    Sorry, the NBA is nowhere near as exciting as the NHL.

    It's a shame not many here watch it.

    To think how close this was to Portland winning back to back Stanley Cups.

    City would have went nuts

    I think Tennessee got screwed on that "no goal" call. I think that would have changed the tempo of that game.

    That Pittsburgh team.....goddamn they're good.

    And the "offsides" call in game 1 that overturned a Nashville goal would have made a big difference I think. Nashville had the momentum. Both calls were AWFUL. Nashville, I think, was the better team. Oh well. Fuck Pittsburgh in every possible sport.

    All I can say is 4 times as many people watched the NBA Finals than the NHL Finals.

    Ratings doesn't mean a better product.

    In fact, it's usually the opposite.

    I wish the NHL was more that a distant interest but I grew up watching and playing basketball. When there are great rivalries in the NBA and every playoff game counts.... There is nothing like it. Sadly, that is not the current state of the game. So for right now, I switch one for the other. But if the Blazers were killing it in the WCF then hockey wouldn't even be in my mind. But I am not going to pretend like I don't know where my heart is.

    Actually, great rivalries or not, there is nothing like the NHL playoffs.

    Yeah. You're right. My brother is a NHL fanatic. I wish I could be the same way but am too close to other sports.
