That's kind of ridiculous, Nitts. First of all, it's only an opinion, and there's no way to quantify that whatsoever (though your opinion does count, I'm not trying to to say it doesn't). Second, you're telling us that a random NHL playoff game (Lightning vs Hurricanes) is more exciting then the first step in the greatest comeback in sports and playoff history between two of the most popular franchises in all of sports. Don't think so.
I'm going to Devils/Rangers tonight so apparently I'm in for the night of my life!!!!! :laughing:Comment

right, like you can't say because if you don't watch the stanley cup playoffs you aren't a sports fan. That's dumb. Some people don't like hockey so they wouldn't watch it right?
Cuse,
drink enough beers so you aren't falling asleep at the figure skating competition tonight.Comment

I agree, that is dumb, Daws. Different strokes for different folks. It was almost as dumb as your last comment. I get that people don't like it. But one thing it IS NOT is boring (as per HDs smiley), or a soft boring figure skating competition (your dumb, unfunny comment).Comment

lol, that was in reference to the boring play of the devils not hockey.Comment

Count me out for liking Red Sox/Yankees games. 4.5+ hours for a baseball game? Pass. I just can't get in to the ESPN created hype or the love fest. There are more Red Sox "fans" in Pennsylvania than any other sports team(including PA teams). It's enough to make someone sick. Baseball just isn't all that much fun to watch, at least IMO. And this is coming from someone that played 4 years of college baseball and beyond. Don't get me wrong, I like baseball, it's just not as fun to watch as the other sports.Comment

Fair enough, you just picked quite possibly the worst example you could have to make your point. There are snoozefests in every sport. Rangers/Devils couple games, Ducks/Stars couple games, Penguins/Senators entire series basically. My point was moreso that choosing the game that started the greatest comeback in modern sports history was not the best of examples to make you your point.
I do agree Yankees/Red Sox games are near impossible to watch unless it's the postseason. That game last Sunday night set baseball back 55 years as it was absolutely UNWATCHABLE. Baseball needs to make a rule that once you dig in, you cannot leave the batter's box unless you foul off a pitch or break you bat, etc etc... I don't need to see David Ortiz step out for 5 seconds, spit on his hands, rub it together, clap, look to the sky, kick some dirt around, dig back in with his hand raise asking for time, waggle his bat, shake his ass until he's comfortable, and then be ready to go. Oh yea, and then only will the catcher finally start giving the signs.Comment

At most levels of baseball that results in a player getting brushed back. But pitchers in the MLB are such pussies these days that it barely happens. Pedro in his prime was one of my favorites, dude wasn't scared of anyone. Put it in his ribs then tell him why it happened as he walks to first, and if he does it again, he wears 92 off the ribs again. Usually fixes the problem pretty quick . That is totally unrelated, but I guess it goes in line with baseball becoming more and more boring.
Anyway, I was going more along the lines of atmosphere and excitement/intensity. NHL playoffs have dwarfed anything else I've ever been to personally, and the rest weren't really all that close. I guess the Steelers/Ravens playoff game I went to was about as close as it got. Final Four atmosphere wasn't quite as good because you have a lot of fans that aren't fans of any team on the court, so they aren't as emotionally involved.
Hockey is pretty vastly underappreciated(if that's a word) IMO.Comment
