Not even close. The fans are better, the players are nuts, the games are fast, the talent is ridiculous, no one wins by 64, and no one misses a playoff game because they their nose got a boo boo.

Best of any playoffs, by far, IMO. Although this Bulls vs. Celtics series has been one of the three best series I've ever seen. NHL still is the best, when it comes to the playoffs.

So if ESPN doesn't carry it, they suck? 2348ji23e

I didn't know that ESPN carried the NFL playoffs.

The NHL playoffs are amazing. You probably live in the south though, and I can understand where you're coming from. I don't understand the love for Nascar and a ton of people down south love it.

"So if ESPN doesn't carry it, they suck?"

i never said that. just an indictment of the sport that the only channel that will pick it up is Versus (and NBC once every couple weeks?).

it's just not enjoyable to watch for people that weren't born and raised with it.

i used to live in the south, but i've lived in the north longer than i did the south.

and i hate nascar. it's worse than hockey.

i live in the west, used to watch the NHL playoffs on espn with gary thorne announcing in the early and mid-90's and i can assure you it was a very special thing to watch

any network can carry the NFL playoffs and they will succeed because america dies for football, but with hockey, espn did it justice in a way that Versus channel does not IMO

Fricking joke that the Carolina - Jersey game couldnt be seen by most of us last night. That is the leagues problem in a nutshell. The clowns running it have got no clue how to run a league.

We had to watch the 3 stooges in the studio review all the first round match ups while a classic game was being played out in Jersey. Typical of Bettman and his clown posse.

Hey Mo, guess what, PENS IN 5, 6 if Fleury has a bad game.:cheers

Nhl Playoff Fantasy Hockey is the best too. Your players got to keep winning to keep scoring. Incredible idea.

Totally relate. Last night there are two east coast games and no west coast games. Monday night there are no early games, two late. We had a full bar Saturday night for the Calgary-Chicago game. I live an hour outside of Chicago (but cannot get the game on the dish unless I have the package, which I do). Versus shows the 1st period of the game, then shows the whole Anaheim-San Jose game. WTF is that?

Just horrible marketing, and those NBC games are the worst.

Just keeping it real here -

Agree. I wouldn't call hockey playoffs the best though.

I still prefer college football, nfl players, a great mlb series, and college hoops over it.

nba playoffs are lame unless you have a few good matchups. i won't be watching hardly any of the playoffs. i'd rather watch a regular season yankees game. when it's clev/lakers in the finals then i'll give a shit, but until then it's just a bunch of teams playing for worse draft picks and more revenue with more games.

tripp, nba playoff games are the most competitive, back-and-forth action i've ever seen in any sport.

the ability of so many players to get a bucket with 10 seconds left, to answer a big fadeaway with a three from the corner on the other end, etc., makes it unbelievably dramatic/exciting.

i think the people that don't watch a lot of nba games and aren't big fans are the people that haven't really tuned into the games for awhile. today's NBA is as good as it's ever been.
