WHAT KIND OF MAN DOESNT WATCH THE NHL PLAYOFFS?!!!
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE UNCONVERTED The NHL playoffs are here, and once again I remain amazed that more red-blooded American sports fans aren’t watching. Simply put, where else are you going to see the skill and artistry of the fastest sport crash headfirst into the violence of UFC? Have you seen footage from the Ottawa-Pens series? Heads were cracked, my little friends! I have long mocked those who worship hoops. I remain stunned that anyone can get behind a sport that awards two free throws just because someone nudged a player while they were shooting. That’s softness wrapped up in a whimper. Speaking of whimpering softies; with NBA teams tanking it flagrantly down the stretch in the hopes of helping their lottery slot in the draft, the case for hockey has never been stronger. Tell you what — if you like football, simply pick one NHL playoff team to follow and give me a pledge that you’ll watch three playoff games. Once you see the level of passion and action, I dare you to walk away.
