NHL teams have to do the same thing as the NBA, 16 wins in two months.
The NBA playoffs do not have the intensity of the Stanley Cup playoffs. When the final scores are 2-1 instead of 94-91, and you may have to throw the dukes at any time, there really is no comparison.
I'm a fan of both the NBA and NHL, and it isn't even really that close.
It's the Stanley Cup, end thread.
Agreed. Anyone who disagrees doesn't watch hockey to understand the passion, desire and physical strength required to get Lord Stanley's Cup. I like basketball too, but the physical and mental demands of playoff hockey is much higher than basketball.
