I know that I am biased, but to me, there is little in professional sports that I find more enjoyable than the Stanley Cup playoffs. Other than the Anaheim-Minnesota matchup, which the Ducks lead 3-0, and Detroit-Calgary, in which the Red Wings have rolled to a 2-0 lead, the series' have been been extremely competitive. San Jose-Nashville, which the Sharks lead 2-1, has become downright nasty, setting the stage for a rivalry that will almost certainly go well beyond this season. The New York Islanders have not rolled over and played dead for the Buffalo Sabres, and Buffalo has been hard-pressed to forge a 2-1 lead. Ottawa leads Pittsburgh by that same margin, though the Senators have to be kicking themselves for being one bad period (the third period of Game Two) away from 3-0 series lead.
If you're a Hockey fan, it doesn't get much better than this (unless, of course, you're a Montreal and Philadelphia fan like me and your teams did not even make the playoffs this season).

LETS GO RANGERS!!!
LOL! The New Yorker in you shows through! Well, the Rangers have steamrolled the not-ready-for-primetime Thrashers, and I wouldn't want to run into them in the next round. If things shake out the way I think they will, we will see the Rangers against the Sabres, which would make for an excellent series!
