The first round of the NHL Playoffs is easily the most exciting sport in the world, nothing compares to it. Doesn't even have to be your team. Case in point, the Blues vs Kings game last night. I wasn't even planning to watch much but I couldn't stop watching it once I started. What a game. Everything the sport is about.
Obviously the playoffs are exciting right through to the finals but the initial rush of the first round just has an extra gear of intensity.
